londoner Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Emanuel has earn't his retirement. He fought so many great boxers in his career and this last bout he has taken at a week's notice. Legendary journeyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapevine241 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 i hope he wins then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I really hope he bows out with a win but i just can't see it. I think Paris will just be too good for him but i expect Augustus to go out on his shield. And i hope the crowd give him a standing ovation. The guy deserves it.

Slip Capone Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I see this ending badly for Augustus. Hopefully his corner doesn't let him get beat up to bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoner Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I think Paris will win a UD but Augustus will last until the final bell and i think the final round will be very exciting. I think Augustus will want to go out with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarboy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Augustus never disappoints, it is always beautiful to see him in action. I think Paris it will win but I would be really happy if the fighter of Chicago ended the career with a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone know where we can get a download of this fight? Couldn't find it on Youtube and a few other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeywater Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't know if its something he still says today.... but Floyd Mayeather is on record saying that Augustus (or Burton as he was known then) gave him the toughest match of his career. Quite a compliment indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
