Bozo, what was your scorecard. Mine was 115 to 113 in favour of AUGUSTUS. I had the fight 6 rounds to 5 with 1 even. That was a bogus decision, but a great fight nonetheless.

I like Augustus, but he wasn't throwing enough shots.
115-112 Ngoudjo
Augustus is effective when he's clowing, but only when he's clowing AND throwing punches.
That was a fair decision, Augustus gave it away by not throwing enough shots.
I will say this though, if that guy hadn't have gone down when he did, the ref would have waived it off. he was out of it. That, or if there was another 30 seconds left, Augustus would have scored the TKO.Last edited by Bozo_no no; 10-15-2005, 08:00 PM.Comment

In my eyes, I had Augustus winning the first 2, 3rd round even and then ngoudo took over from there winning rounds 4-7 when Augustus started clowning. 7th round was very close but I had Ngoudo winning it by just a hair. I had the 8th round to Augustus and the 9th to Ngoudo. Augustus then won the championship rounds 10-12 with Ngoudo switching to southpaw is when he really took over.
If augustus would of fought the whole fight normal I think the fight would of been very EVEN. Both fighters were very evenly matched.
No big payday for Augustus. Sadly...Comment

Augustus is a real good fighter, but not disciplined. Of course, he is much better than his records indicate.Comment

man that's disappointing. i hope i can catch the fight sometime on tv if they ever show it somewhere i can see it. i love augustus, but damnit. i don't know what's next for him now- if he had won this i was going to be super excited for his future but yeah.. oh well.Comment

augustus lost? that sucks for me at least. he does showboat a bit, but he doesn't do it in a ****y manner in my opinion.
he has been robbed on many occasions. sometimes, i think judges need to be suspended for ****ing up a fighters record.
and yeah, sturm is a better fighter than de la hoya at his weight at least.Comment

i was hoping for augustus to be on his best behavior this time. he's been so focused of recent.
there's still hope. a top contender or paper belt holder could just look at his record then pick him as an easy tuneup. i hope.
i hope.
i can see ngoudo sitting in the backroom bleary eyed after the fight saying What the **** just happenedLast edited by STEELHEAD; 10-16-2005, 12:41 PM.Comment

No robbery !!! Ngoudjo won !!!
Believe me i was at the fight, There is no way Augustus got rob in this fight, his only chance to win was to knock the guy out cause he lost 8 consecutive rounds from the 2nd to the 9th. He didn't even win the round 11 and 12 clearly. To win a fight, u need to win the most of 12 rounds, not have a spectacular finish. This is not Hollywood, every round in boxing counts and that's what happened ! People saying the ref could have stopped the fight, are u crazy ? stop at the 12th round, with 20 seconds left in the fight u guys must be out of your mind! The ref only stop the fight when there is absolutely no way the guy can make it and made it to the end, yes the guy was saved by the belt but that's all part of boxing. Herman would even beat this guys in a rematch but give me a reason why he would fight him again ! The judges and the ref did a great job of staying focus, cause that Hollywwod finish could have influenced them, they didn't bite so i give them props for that.Comment

Other than the fact that Herman going down in the 12th was what saved him.
If he hadn't fallen down, he would have fell in the ropes and Augustus would have kept hitting him, and a stoppage would have been in order.
Because he fell, he got a count, the clock ran down, and he survived.
He was fortunate it ended up that way.
Herman won the fight fair and square because Augustus wasn't active enough in the rounds he gave away.Comment
