Emmanuel Augustus will fight his 75th professional prize fight on August 21st. It's in Australia, so I doubt we'll get to see it on TV in the USA. Get 'em Emmanuel!
He his not just the guys with the strangest style out there he his also one with the most robbery in history! Go!!!Augustus!
I think i remember reading some Aussie promoter is going to build him up for one more shot at a World title hopefully all goes well... WAR AUGUSTUS
Ward-Burton was one of the worst robberies in the history of the sport. I always enjoy watching him fight.
I thought Ward-Burton was a great fight and I think Ward deserved the win because of the late KD....in fact when I was watching Ward-Gatti 1 all I could think about was Ward-Burton especially when Gatti went down in the 9th.
Ive watched Ward-Burton more then any other fight I think...And I always score it for Emmanual. That being said its always only by a point, so you cant really say it was highway robbery because it was an awesome see-saw fight. There should have been a rematch...but seeing as Augustus took that on like 2 weeks notice me thinks Team Ward wouldnt have been keen on it. Unfortunately this fight isnt even on Aussie T.V..so I dont think even someone down here could put it up on the tube for yous. However the promotional team putting on does quite often film its shows and puts the tapes up for sale on their site. Fighters Factory they are called..so if you are keen to see it check out their site a couple weeks after the fight. The guy he is facing is one of the best prospects in Oz by the way..flying a bit under the radar but he is looking like the real deal with serious power in both hands. If EM can get the win here..Id love to see him take on Lovermore Ndou for Lovemore's IBO title..That would be a great match I reckon.
Good info, and I agree about the Ward fight. I thought the wrong guy got the nod, but I would not call it a robbery.
