Never any justice for Augustus.

How many times was he robbed in his pro career?

(genuinely robbed, not just that he didn't get the nod in a close one... I remember doing a poll thread on this exact subject for Glen Johnson one time and the number was somewhat lower than expected but still pretty staggering... consensus indicating that he was robbed in about ½ of his combined losses & draws. Pt 1: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=525001 Pt 2: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=525002)

Has to be in the neighborhood of at least a dozen, no? Of thirty-three decisions to not go his way (27 of his losses, bar the five stoppages and two disqualifications; and six draws) I'd be shocked if, upon investigation and checking aggregate scorecards, less than a third of those were found to be very bad decisions. As with Johnson, it may not be a majority of times he got robbed as some fans say - but where there's smoke there's fire and it definitely was a heap of times.

Anyway, judges are still doing Emanuel no favors. As some of you may recall, he was shot in the head walking down the street in October 2014 by a thug named Christoper Stills whose target was someone else and whose aim was just terrible (as terrible as, say, Augustus' luck).

He was doing well as of September, having emerged from his coma and resumed a normal life (http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=556248) - but on Monday, all charges against Stills were dismissed as the DA couldn't build a strong enough case with the sole witness having been killed in the meantime and their office supposedly having difficulty contacting Augustus for a statement. Bear in mind, Augustus was already exhibiting signs of being punch-drunk before his coma. :-( You'd think maybe they would go the extra mile in reaching the victim when their mental faculties are compromised.

 

Scot-free, unbelievable. :exmad

 

Maybe. The scum that slayed Vernon Forrest was brought to justice. :conf

Then again, Forrest was much higher-profile than Augustus, having been an Olympic silver medalist and world champ. Augustus was on paper just a journeyman (despite having been televised often and enjoying mild "celebrity" relative to most journeymen with records like his), and, to authorities, yeah, could've been viewed as "just some old black guy that used to be a fighter". :verysad

 

GTFO, troll.

You see an opportunity to indirectly bash Mayweather, so you pounce on it by shit-talking a widely respected pugilist who is suffering brain damage from both his career and his senseless victimization in a random shooting, for which no justice has been dispensed? You're that horned up for any excuse to 'score a point' for Team Pacquiao Nut-Huggers?

You are despicable.
