arturo gatti vs emannuel augustus

Most of them were and not slightly bad decisions but clear as day ones. He has a very good case for beating the following: Burton, Mora, Kelson Pinto, Herman Ngoudjo, Coddington, Ivan Robinson, Soren Sondergaard, Teddy Reid, Micky Ward, Leavander Johnson, David Diaz, Aguilar, Figueroa. And probably plenty of others and some of those went onto be champions

As for judging on 1 fight - well no but FMJ said Augustus was his toughest career fight and he had much more success than nearly anyone. Gatti was a human punch bag. Mayweather was the best either fought. Augustus did allot better against Robinson too

Gatti for allot of his career got the golden boy treatment, cherry picking him fights with loads of prep. Augustus got journeymen treatment - ie 7days notice and getting shafted by the judges

 

I recently watched Ward-Augustus and Ward won that fight. No way was that a robbery. But then you think Ottke-Johnson was one too. :roll: I also watched Mayweather-Augustus and I don´t think Floyd lost a round there, yeah Augustus made Mayweather work but then Floyd came from a layoff with a family dispute and a change of trainers.

Gatti got a better treatment, yeah, but he also won enough of his big fights. Augustus was highly inconsistent in his perfomances and blew it more than enough. Gatti was certainly an overachiever and his management had a lot to do with it but nevertheless he was a decent enough contender at his best. Augustus wasn´t.

 

This, but I dont have the energy to argue with PP who seems to pull **** out of thin air at times.

 

Augustus outlanded Ward, something like 3 punches for every 2 on compubox but Augustus looked the lot cleaner puncher, I think I had it 6-4 Augustus, obviously Ward put him down so it was close

Gatti got stopped by Ivan Robinson who Augustus outboxed. Which were the massive fights Gatti won? I mean he's beat a few titlists but Augustus should have wins over a few titlists too.

 

What now? Was ist a robbery like you wrote or a close fight now? Twisting like usual. :-( And sorry but 384 to 316 in powerpunches is not 3 fo 2. But okay in your wold it probably is.

Gatti got stopped by Robinson and Augustus outboxed Robinson? Didn´t Robinson beat Gatti once by SD and once by a close UD? Close like by one point on two cards and didn´t Gatti got deducted a point for low blows? Great teatment he got there, didn´t he? Couldn´t see him getting stopped. And Robinson was outboxed by Augustus really? More like the othe way round.

But anyway, you really are pulling a PP here. I made my point, you made yours. That´s it.

 

Seriously PP, give it up. At least read Boxrec before you post nonsense. You live in the UK right? So you really didnt see much of Augustus fight right? He fought mainly on the USA network and ESPN fights.

 

This might be controversial...but...this thread's version of PP/Bodhi= the CLXVII version of mcvey/Mendoza.

 

Twisting or you just have poor reading comprehension, let's look at the exact quote.

I did mention he was robbed blind plenty of times, which he has been. The Robinson fight was close tbf but Augustus landed the better punches and was the ring general backing his man up

Anyone know why his name changed from Burton to Augustus?

 

Yea for some reason I remember Gatti getting stopped must have been thinking of that Rican guy, I thought Robinson stopped him too though for some reason. And I make a point of watching Augustus fights, some of the fights we couldn't get here we would buy in through tape dealers but these days we just download them

 

Bags McVey, Bodhi can be Mendoza

 

You have a point my dear BE but I rather stay myself and stop getting involved in vicious circles. :thumbsup
