Hatton would knock Augustus out brutally. So would any of the other top dogs in the division (or at least dominate him in the case of the lighter punchers).

Anyone who thinks Augustus has a chance against Hatton is smoking something very strong.

Makes Augustus good when he wins but KD isn't really that good his claim to fame is hanging around a little bit with a shot Casamayor and PLUS he is moving up in weight. Smart for Augustus managers but does nothing for me....

So it was a shot Casamayor that beat Corrales the second time?

NOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAY!!!

It's troubling that he took the fight on such short notice, and that he just fought on the undercard of Taylor-OUma under a month ago in a decision victory though.

On the contrary, its quite refreshing that a boxer of his talent takes fights on such short notice. Also, is this fight being televised?

Sweet. VS has been showing alot of good boxing programs lately; last night they showed one of Hagler's early fights.

good fight for free TV

I think Augustus will beat him.........Kid had big trouble with the slick Nate Campbell.

Augustus is a great example to everyone. If you stick to something you can accomplish great things. He stuck to boxing even after so many loses and now he is almost a boxing superstar.

Kid Diamond was one of the most overrated prospects I've seen in a while.
