Emanuel Augustus stopped Jamie Rangel in the tenth round of a junior
welterweight bout to improve his checkered career record to 32-25-6.
Asked about his awkward style of fighting (although it was toned

various versions of Tekken, martial arts video game series. “My
favorite character is Steve Fox,” said Augustus, who added he also
draws a lot of inspiration from the character Eddy Guerrero,
a capoeira expert. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that

inspiration, Augustus has impressed his promoter. He’s the best fighter
with a bad record. That’s why I promote him,” said Lou DiBella
following the bout.
