An Augustus Appreciation Thread

I don't know how others feel towards the guy, but in the ring he was always fun to watch. If he was on Friday Night Fights, you knew it was worth watching and even though he was completely shot last night, he still provided entertainment. His career, at least on TV, probably over or will be soon, so let's just sit back and appreciate a really fun guy to watch fight.

Dude had style and substance. He didnt just dance around, he could take a shot and take a beating if needs be. Great value.

Yes, he always says the same thing, even as recently as a few weeks ago. Sorry, it was Mayweather Sr. a few weeks ago.

I'm not convinced that Augustus is finished. He took this fight on 4 days notice, and also had to trek all the way from Australia. Could be jet lag.

Augustus is the man, he's a class act and nice as hell, I was there talking to him for about 30 minutes, I thought he did great for being the veteran and taking the fight on 4 days notice, guys a true warrior. One of my top fav's for entertaining in the ring. Kim had a good fight, he trained at our gym this past week aswell as his opponent, good people.

Yea he's great to watch, he gets nothing but respect from me. I just wish he got treated a little better in his career. It seems like he is on the verge of his career being over obviously so I hope he has been wise with the money he has made and can live comfortably after retirement, if infact that is his next move.

Augustus is the drunken master! He definitely lost his step buy most importantly I think he just lost his heart for boxing after all the roadblocks/setbacks/robberies. He's still the man though. **** what you heard.
