Emanuel Augustus' last fight!!!

['Sugar' Freddi]

From his Facebook:

MY FIGHT AGAINST VERNON PARIS WILL BE MY LAST. I AM RETIRING FROM THE SPORT. I WILL SPEAK MORE ABOUT IT AFTER THE FIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO LET PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO WATCH ME FIGHT KNOW SO THEY CAN TRY AND SEE IT. IT'S TOO BAD IT WONT BE ON TELEVISION BECAUSE I AM BACKING OUT OF THIS SALOON THE SAME WAY I WALKED IN, WITH BOTH GUNS BLAZING. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THROUGH THE YEARS. PEACE.

I thought you were beat to the punch on this thread but you weren't.
Anyway, enjoy retirement champ. You've entertained us for years.
I can't help but think if he had the right team around him, the sky woulda been the limit.

The drunken sailor will be missed. Dude would fight anyone, any time, nearly any size.

He could have been as good as Roy Jones Jr.

He's gonna whoop Vernon Paris' sorry ass.

Dude deserves a long restfull retirement. I do hope he is ok financially.

['Sugar' Freddi]

Bad management or what is the story?

Vernon can fight, I've watched him from his amatuer days, it won't be easy for Augustus. But I do wish Emanuel the best in his retirement. Out of all the fighters out there I would say that he has earned it. I loved watching his drunken boxer thing. The guy was skilled and was great entertainment. He will be missed............Rockin'
