Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Emanuel Augustus Slugfest

[The Boxer]

PBF can slug it out. i just don't like him doing it at the higher weights. it was cool when he did it at 130 and at 135.

Wait a minute!

Okay i have to admit, it really threw me the 1st time i came across this...

The 1st time i see him fight was against another Burton, Courtney. Although he was An Augustus by that time.

The next time i see Emmanuell fight it was against a guy id never heard of (Mickey Ward) and i had no idea the footage was actually from like 3 years previous so i was convinced ESPN had made a Typo cock-up and given him his last opponents Surname?!

It happens

That's Emanuel BURTON, not Augustus.

Emanuel burton's mum got married and he went on to take on his step dads name of Augustus

Seriously?! At his age? Damn!!

Thats some serious manners

...that's why when people hate pbf as a person i understand but when people start to grasp at straws and knock how he fights it's just plain silly to me, pbf can slug, outbox, out think, out speed, out defend etc.....any fighter out there right now and that's just the way it is for right now. His power goes away dramaticly as he moves up in weight so he'll fight a different style and potshot more but that's a lot smarter than trying to slug with the bigger guys when you are at a disadvantage kinda like how gatti tried to do with baldomir....anyhow good video........

Im not a massive Mayweather fan but I have to admit the guy is so slick defensively, the shoulder rolls and movement make him vertually impossible to land full shots on and in trying all you get is counter right hands hitting you back.

Totally agree.

Most of Floyd's fights have been entertaining. He's generally not as cautious as people make him out to be, besides fights like Castillo 2, Baldomir, maybe Oscar he usually is very entertaining. And I don't mind watching him even in fights like that but I guess I can see why some might think he was boring. Ok the Baldomir fight was a little boring But other than that I find him to be one of the most exciting fighters out there.

He may be a bit obnoxious outside of the ring which obviously annoys some people but for the most part I don't agree with criticism of his fighting style. He doesn't "run" his way to wins, that's idiotic. He doesn't hold much, the only thing he does that's a bit illegal is using his left elbow to push off when he's inside but that's not that bad.

The only thing about a guy like him that I get a bit bored with is in a lot of his fights before there was no suspense, you knew he was gonna win. Being totally dominant can get a bit boring after a while, at least to me, but I think that's becoming a bit less of the case as he's moved up.

[ICB]

its his jab that worries me in the upcoming fight
but.............i still saw a few gaps for that body punch to get through

it was a really good fight though ad proves ur point well

That fight was years ago though Mayweather has improved since that fight.

[headson]

to me that fight
was a young mayweather trying to prove that he can beat at his own game

Ya i always thought that was dodgy. The only time i see an ref pick up on it was during the 1st Castillo fight.

One thing that he's stoped doing alot, if not completely is whiping in that horrid upercut in close. Obviously as the guys have got bigger, he dosent want them that close.

Wonder if a relatively smaller Ricky will get a dose of that old uppercut?
