EMANUEL AGUSTUS! Who's one of my all time favorites.
Sorokin-Augustus on August 31!
By Alexey Sukachev
World-rated junior welterweight Sergey Sorokin will face the toughest test in his career on August 31 in the Siberian city of Yugorsk, Russia, as he takes on American fighter/entertainer Emmanuel Augustus. The fight for Sorokin’s WBO Asia Pacific belt is scheduled to be the headliner of the fourth stage of the International Kostya Tszyu Cup. "I’m going to gather all the belts, Kostya once possessed," says WBO #6 Sorokin (25-1-1, 18 KOs), who is coming off the 10-bout undefeated streak to defend his title for the third time. He hasn’t lost since summer 2004 when he was handed his only loss as a pro against Juan Urango. Augustus (35-28-6 with 18 KOs) is still the die-hard opponent for any fighter around 140 lbs. despite his far-less-than-stellar record. Always fun to watch, he is an excellent choice for Russian fans, who will get a chance to see one of the most legendary journeymen alive. The show is promoted by Alexey Plotnikov with the help of Kostya Tszyu team.
