Exciting prospects on fnf this week.

[Majesty]

Majesty this fight is proof Augustus is old. He clearly has the skillset to compete with Provodnikov but his physical attributes are declining.

Considering the shape he's in and the 3 days notice he is doing fine against this guy. declining attributes or not and Procodnikov is either tired or just bought his time after trying to stop Augustus, we'll see in this next round.

Provodnikov has knocked him down, broke his nose and is still landing at almost 50%, face it he's getting old. Provodnikov is just toying with him now.

he isnt "toying" with him. He's tired and is loading that right hand. I don't see how lettign Augustus back him up in the 7th is toying. Missed the 8th. watching the 9th. From what I see from this prospect he isn't too impressive. He has power, but that's about it. Any decent boxer would beat this guy. His power is an equalizer but that's about it. Good for TV, but he won't be a champ long. Fight stopped. good stoppage.

So you're saying Augustus isn't a decent boxer? Maybe his age has something to do with that. And yeah he was playing, that right hand couldn't miss all night.

Augustus is a decent boxer. But the way everyone was building him up as an A+ prospect you'd think he'd beat Augustus easily in 3 rounds. What I saw was he gets hit a lot, gets hit easily and loads that right too much. If an out of shape Augustus on 3 days notice can hit this guy often win rounds and even back him up. He isn't an A+ prospect everyone was building him to be. I really don't see him being champ for long if he ever wins one. He has power, but that's about it. Then again nowadays all you need is power fans seem to overlook every other flaw. But those flaws will get him beat. So if he wants to stay undefeated he should stay on ESPN.

What if he becomes a champ and then constantly fakes injuries in order to get out of his title defenses?

[Violent Demise]

Hope Augustus doesn't do something stupid and retires. He needs to keep fighting. I can get use to watching him in this position

Who said he was the second coming? I'm pretty sure the terms were exciting and pressure fighter.

Good point.

Let me rephrase that. He won't succeed in many title defenses

[amat]

I said A+ because I thought he controlled Juaregui well and I probably overrated him a little much, calling him the second coming of Tszyu and everything.

But it doesn't change the fact that Augustus is old Which of course is the point to be debated around for Majesty.

I don't know how much longer Kim can try to do this

[killersheep]

Diaz is already having more success than I expected.

[OumaFan]

LOL its so easy to hit him, its like playing fight night versus an intoxicated Hatton the Hammer

[killersheep]

Bbooommmm

[OumaFan]

LOL this guy is hilarious and awesome

[Violent Demise]

Didn’t really look like Diaz wanted to continue

[OumaFan]

Majesty, what do you think about Kim vs a good boxer?

Fight didn't last long enough to find out his flaws lol Then again I didn't see anything but the knockout. Was too busy talking to someone on IM.

I agree he was giving the puppy dog eyes to his corner.
