emanuel augustus

[Ironside]

Funny story about what made Augustus want to use capoeira in boxing. His favorite game is Tekken and he used to use the guy whose style was capoeira. After that, he started copying some of his moves in the video game and applying it to his style.

Haha, that's the first thing that I thought of when I saw him fight.

he's dope and one of my favorite fighters. only time I remember mayweather bleeding was against Augustus.

They stopped that fight prematurely too. I mean, Augustus was getting beat, but he was holding his own and hitting mayweather with some tough shots too. If it was a known name fighter they wouldn't have stopped it, but they figured it was some bum and supposedly an easy night for mayweather.

That is pretty off. It was competitive but one sided. Augustus was bleeding from his ears and the ref wen't to get him checked and told him to do something or he would have to stop the fight. That being said Floyd was quoted as saying that was his toughest fight. Got to love Manny, that drunken fighting style is the most entertaining thing I have seen in a ring.

watch his fight against Micky Ward. Fight of the year in 2001. No drunkin fighting or anything like that, just a straight war.

And for the record I had Burton (Augustus) winning the fight.

He was sure trying to clown around at all costs though, he did what he could. he's hilarious

he's a very entertaining fighter.. he has skills, and i thought always had great potential.. he took a lot of fights on short notice and didn't have the best promotion or management

You know now that I think of it this is true - he was bleeding from the ear, I forgot about that (been a long time).

[Derranged]

He seems to have a real attitude problem. And as for him giving Floyd problems, he might have landed 4 good punches in that fight. That might have been the worst beating I've ever seen Floyd dish out. At no point was he ever even close to winning one round...

[RightHandLead]

I was heartbroken when I saw him face Kid Diamond. He looked shot. Hopefully Welterweight will give him a second wind.

Haha! Eddie Gordo baby!!! My favorite Tekken fighter...
