Emmanuel Augustus loses

[Tony Blitz]

Ok I just checked, the replay is on at 11:30 on TVA. Same time The Contender is playing

You think Sturm is a better fighter than the Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya?

It was a very close fight but I would stop short of saying he is a better fighter than DLH.

[Parody]

Your talking out of your ass though with no research. You call Najai Turpin and Jesse Brinkley good fighters? That's just laughable, no one with decent boxing knowledge would say this.

Augustus has been robbed more then any fighter today. He fights in guys hometowns, and he has tooken fights on a couple days notice. If you would actually watch him fight you would realize he is a very good fighter, and not a guy that should have 25 losses.

You called jesse brinkley and najai turpin bums, I just wanted to point it out to you they arent bums, and nor is Sergio Mora as you referred him to one as well, hes going to prove it to u after he beats manfredo again.

[Calabrese]

I never said they were bums. I called them chumps. WHICH they aren't but on a grand scale they aren't top 10 "contenders".

The fight WAS close. You could have made a case for both fighters specially for Augustus with his 12 round KD. It was really toe to toe for 12. I wouldn't say EA got robbed but the judges scorecards showed he wasn't anywhere near winning a close fight. Even with the knock down he lost by 4 points, the **** is up with that? But man, as entertaining as Augustus was, the times where he planted his feet and fought normally he was owning.

Why is everybody hyping up Augustus so much? Yeah, he is better than his record but that does not say much.

[Bozo_no no]

Because he's exciting to watch and puts on great fights.

Simple answer really.

[Eric Persson]

Well.. I'm not that big of a fan of his dancing around, he should stay and focus on winning fights instead. That said, he has been in some wars, his fight with Ward was awesome.

I wathced this fight live this afternoon on SUN TV here in Toronto.
It was a great fight, non stop punching, Augustus deserved to lose, even with the KD.
The guy is a clown, he only does his dancing around after he gets clocked by a good punch, trying to show the judges it didn't hurt him.
I think that this turns the judges off, it's cheap showboating trying to earn points with the judges but I think it works agianst him, I get the feeling the judges have the impression that he thinks he can trick them into thinking he's the better fighter by dancing around, even though he's the one eating more punches.

You know that is a credible thought IMO.
