No AM background, started late, had drug problems and from the begining he was getting robbed so his record has never been squeaky clean. Everything was perception with EA and no one wanted to take a risk with a guy who had losses even if the losses were bogus.
This was Burton/Augustus at his absolute finest. He was also pretty awesome to watch in the Courtney Burton rematch. That was an angry Augustus.
He was awesome to watch in the first fight with Courtney, I couldn't believe the judges jobbed EA in that one. I thought for a second that they were in Germany. Emanuel Augustus is legend. I'm happy to be aboard the EA express :happy
