Emanuel Augustus Appreciation Thread.....

[LuKahnLi]

It is too bad there is no "Journeyman" category in the Boxing Hall of fame. Augustus has been one of the most consistently entertaining fighters in the sport. Because he is always screwed over and hard on his luck....he is also a GUY EVERYONE likes to root for.....unless you are a fan of his opponent.

Augustus have shown us who the REAL fighters were out of those who fought them. How a fighter performs against Emanuel Augustus tells us alot about them. Where the decision goes after an Augustus fight tells us alot about the comission in that state where he fights.

Anyone got any great memories of Emanuel Augustus' fights?

my current top 3 favorite journeymen

1. corely

2. estrada( i feel he is champion material but at the moment hes a journeyman)

3. augustus for his skill and mercy vs olivera

[oldgringo]

My favorite Augustus moments were:

1. Oliviera (the dancing, double punch, and end of fight compassion for Sucra)

2. Ward (what a great fight...two of the most entertaining journeymen ever going at it)

3. Dorin (another great journeymen fight...Augustus fought the whole fight with his hands down, which was funny but a little disturbing at the same time)

Yea I just saw the fight between him and Micky Ward, which was very entertaining and turned out to be ring fight of year for 2001.

Thats my mother****ing man right there!!

Agustus is the best. I have never once seen him in a bad fight.

My favorite memories are

1. The Ward fight. FOY and you can make a damn good case he won that fight.

2. Turning his back against Alex Trujillo and coming out of the turn landing a straight right.

3. Going into Courtney Burton's hometown and clowning him as bad as any fighter has ever been clowned.

every fight that has augustus in it is a classic, i love watching him fight, especially when he does the "puppet stuff"( that's what micky ward calls it). augustus is the drunken master of boxing
