    I wanna see Augustus pulls out one last win, against a fighter with a winning record anyway.

    Forbes doesn't have the power to keep Augustus off off him, but does have a solid chin.

    :think

    Augustus SD Forbes. In a very Augustus like akward fight :good

    ****!

    Who do we root for?

    Which one is the underdog???? :huh

    These guys are likable for a lot of similar reasons (although their in-ring styles are almost a study in opposites).

    :lol:

    Very valid points my man.

    I just felt like going for Augustus, as he seems to be one of the most celebrated, successful, uh unsuccessful, journeyman of all time :yep

    I don't want to see even one more Augustus fight. I'm a huge fan of The Drunken Master, but the last time I saw him he looked more shot than John Kennedy.

    Recent form is no help.

    EA has fought much better opposition than the guy Forbes lost to but has been getting knocked down (and out) frequently.

    Of course, Forbes isn't a KO artist - but if Augustus isn't able to avoid the punches he might just not be able to effectively compete anymore.

    2lb also claims that he was robbed against Cuello.

    :think

    I WANT EA to win it, but my gut is trying to tell me Forbes will take a decision.

    At this point, it think I'm gonna stay my pick of EA, strictly out of being biased.

    Hey I like to consider myself one of the least biased people here, so I'll try it out for once :yep

    :lol:

    If it wasn't for a double kd against him in the 3rd of his last fight, EA would have upset another up and comer (then 13-0 Hatley) in September.

    Who knows he might still have enough left to get a win.

    You know it. It's probably all he has.

    Anyone know how much $ he got for scoring a place in FNR4?

    You'd think there's royalties involved.

    Forbes is NOT a journeymen...He holded the IBF title for two fights...(against John Brown but still...:deal)And he holds a win over Cornelius Bundrage current IBF 154Lbs Champ and Francisco Bojado(albeit damaged version)And you can also count his two wins over David Santos who was a good contender...
