Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Fingers crossed...
Thaxton was very durable and Augustus showed class to get him out of there with those quick combinations.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
This sucks. I don't know Augustus but he is a part of my freaking childhood. I was born in 1990. My dad and oldest brother have always been decent boxing fans. I remember vaguely the fight with Ward. That's how I knew of Ward. When he went to face Gatti, I watched it live as a child.
Augustus though, by the product of his name change, was a source of confusion for us until about 2004 when the internet became a big part of our lives. I was starting to sprout as a young man, my dad looked to me to go on the computer to find out if Emanuel Augustus was Emanuel Burton. He was. I knew them as different people but my Dad always knew the truth but was never able to confirm without the internet's help and that's what I was there for. That's pretty much when I became the boxing dork I still am today, I would show my friends videos of Augustus. He was fun, and I was able to use Augustus to make them take an interest in boxing. Suddenly all of them were pretty sure Jeff Lacy was was gonna beat Joe Calzaghe. I was a freshman, Peter already lost to Klitschko. Was Taylor gonna beat Hopkins? My high school friends had conversations about this stuff! None of it happens without Augustus! Not kidding, it was because of the .GIFS I put on my Myspace as a highschooler of Emanuel Augustus. It's surreal typing this out.
If Emmanuel Augustus had his life turned into a motion picture, it would probably be called "Robbed." He *may* have just robbed of his life and this is one decision that I won't forget about so soon. My childhood might be robbed alongside him. Fuck.

The drunken master could have been a champion. If he'd only taken himself seriously.
He was robbed of victory too so many times Praying for Emmanuel
It's a trip reading your post bruva - we must have practically been on the same page in the book of life (although I was 21 and also addicted to the new Fight Night game, so it was Emmanuel and JFAT in equal parts )
Hang on... Speaking of Myspace... I'm sure we were Myspace friends for a while back there? Or was that Hulk, I get confused
But yeah my first glimpse of EA was when our channel 5 aired a replay of Augustus vs Burton 1 (the station was doing weekly re-runs of all fairly recent ESPN shows) but was ACTUALLY rooting for Burton to win at first, cause I had previously seen his win over Manfredy and was impressed.
Fuck that though, once Augustus started dancing...Was like watching Prince Naz mixed with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air

You could say if Emmanuel dies then he has gone for a Burton.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
