In an interesting matchup, lightweight contender Courtney Burton (20-2) returns on Tuesday in a nationally televised bout against all-action Emanuel Augustus at the Walker Arena in Muskegon, Michigan. The bout will be televised on ESPN2's Tuesday Night Fights. Augustus, formerly known as Emanuel Burton, is much better than his 28-24-6 record indicates, as evidenced by his win over highly regarded Alex Trujillo 23-2 earlier this year. Two weeks ago, in an IBA title bout he was winning, Augustus was disqualified against Tomas Barrientes. Courtney Burton is returning after being stopped in round eleven of a brutal war against current IBF lightweight champion Julio Diaz. Also on the card, which promoted by Malcom Garrett, is light heavy Rocky Smith (9-2) versus Anwar Oshana (23-3).
Well what do ya'll think?
