Thats what it feels like when your fighter loses. BUT E-man never gave up and had his moments, albeit short moments. He never gave up. Kid D was BUSY as hell, fantastic conditioning, landing hard quick long range punches. I seriously have a feeling he trained for Augustus, ha, his showing was brilliant. 2 days notice, Augustus has done it before, but he seemed a little off and Kid D seemed WAY ON. You can't diss on someone who shows heart like that.
Oh he gave up, on winning at least. He survived and showed balls in gettin up from that knockdown. BUT he stood there, and took punches he could have easily avoided. He never implemented his puppet style even when he knew he should have and was losing. He gave up on winning the fight, never really tried, and fukin embarassed himself. It was his worst effort in years. If he were serious bout movin up the rankings, bein somebody, and he knew he wasn't prepared for the fight, he should NOT have taken the fukin fight. Fuk the small to mediocre purse he got.
Taking it on two days notice is commendable, not the other way around.

Give Kid Diamond CREDIT !!!!! You act like Augustus took a dive! heheh
Augustus has had A LENGTHY AND DRAMATIC career, who's known for his unbreakable will.

About KD, If you can't see that that was a Masterful performance, then you don't know how it looks like.

Emmanuel HAS to look for fights, he HAS been ducked for so long. Ducked in that he needs an HBO type matchup. Kid D was that opportunity opponent, and he got his notice, E-man KEEPS IN SHAPE, so HE TOOK A CHANCE. He lost. Then Augustus congratulated KD for his win, like a sportsman.

Your no fan of Emmanuel if you leave him now. No fan I'd like.
