I never been a fan of this clown. He’s a waste of talent who has no respect for boxing. I never understood why so many people speak highly of him. This clip shows the real Augustus, taking a dive. And he actually wants HBO to use him as a replacement to fight Vivian Harris? Fuck him.
Damn I think your right about that., being a dive ! That F****** powder puff . they should review this and consider revoking his license, I hate seeing that kind of S*** !
I remember that fight lol He jumped in the air as the shot landed he was there for a pay day. But I’ve seen worse from some of the “respected” fighters nowadays. Anyway, why do you hate on Augustus since after that he gave Mayweather his toughest fight and has been robbed on more then one occasion, soon as he made a decision to start winning he has been in some of the most entertaining fights. I don’t know how you call anyone a powder puff if you’ve seen his fights with Mickey Ward and Floyd Mayweather ::**
anyone that takes a dive is a powder puff ! If not physically weak, mentally weak . The ole saying once a crook always a crook, how you going to get excited about someone that might lay down for the right money? It’s horrible for boxing !
So then Willie Pep is a disgrace to all of boxing being that he was known for the dives he took 
Jack Dempsey too I’m guessing :o Rey Mercer as well I wonder ??? :o Yea all have disgraced boxing ::**
so you would reward that type of behavior? ! ::** Yes anyone that takes a dive or has taken a dive has damaged the sport of boxing . That’s obvious !
Hell no I wouldn’t!! But given the fact of what he’s done since then has made it up for me. If he dived and then went on with a career such with him doing that, then I would say negative things, but his career since then he has more then made up for it when you consider what he’s done who he’s fought and how he’s faired. And that Mickey Ward fight put away any thoughts in my mind that he was a powder puff not to mention all these other guys he’s beating I think he’s made up for it since he didn’t make “the dive” his career.
augustus has been fucking DQd for dancing, that shows you who the real “powderpuff bitches” are, the refs, not to mention the judges that will score a round against him if he dances even once
even tho the guy outlands his opponents when he does the dancing they treat it as if he is doing it to show off, its dont to confuse the other fighter
All he’s done since is whine, bitch and complain about how everybody is ducking him. As well as testing positive for drugs. How long is he going to use “gave Mayweather his toughest fight” line. If anything, it’s not even an accurate statement anymore. Mayweathers toughest fight came from Jose Luis Castillo.
I can appreciate what your saying , but once a fighter has taken a dive, what is to keep them from doing it at some other point in the future ? , see what I mean? how can you trust him ? To me it’s a deal breaker , one thing you know is that he is weak in the area of integrity , and once that’s established someone with the right money knows they can broker a deal for theirfighter to knockout the Muff Diver ! So why would any boxing fan pay to see that person ever fight again. ?? Can you imagine paying to see a fight that has the history of a possible fix? Hell no ! It can’t be trusted. It’s very important to weed out that type of behavior, in the most strict manner possible, fines and permanent suspension
cool click ! I enjoyed the discussion Starr !
Personally…I agree with ya babe.
I think that he’s bit of a punk & he acts like an idiot. He’s lost a lot of close fights that he pissed away acting like a gotdam fool!!!
He’s a crowd pleaser and is always game. That dive is discusting no doubt and I really do have a bad taste in my mouth after seeing that. But he is the same guy that gave us the fight of the year with Mickey Ward. I can’t hate him to much. And the dancing, come on people, this is a sport that has seen ear biters, wife beaters, murderers, kidnappers etc win world titles and be praised, yet this guy catches flak for putting on a show? Come on now.
CC for the video though. Fuck that is ridiculous.
Nah, watching that video is sick..can’t make any excuses for the guy. It’s like he robbed everyone who came to see the fight that night. It doesnt matter what hes done since…he got no character and whatever he had he put a cheap price on it
I never cared for him…the dancing and shit doesn’t sit well with me. I mean it’s fine to showboat but to do it while losing is another story.
You might be a lot of things Wack, but stupid ain’t one of them.
If he was ever gonna dive again wouldn’t he have done it against Ward? Have you seen the fight or just that clip? Watching the fight it was obvious he wasn’t going to win he was pretty much being beaten up and dominated so he ended it. So I wouldn’t call it a “DIVE” I would call it his way of getting out of a fight, unacceptable but still, he didn’t make the dive his whole career, looking at the Mickey Ward fight do you ever think this guy is ever gonna do that again?
Yeah Wacko and when he decided to fight seriously like you WANTED him to fight and TKO’d Rangell you found reasons to fault him then too even though he fought the way you said he should ::**
Why don’t you look at it this way, its his style, it works for him, it wins his fights and as you saw fighting serious he isn’t nearly as effective. Aint it what Sturm just learned yesterday? Can’t fight what the people want you to see? You fight with what works for you and when you’re most effective? Augustus does that and fighting your way disadvantages him. it’s his style, leave him to it, he’s at his best when he does it so leave it at that. It works for him!
It took him what 11 rounds to stop Rangel? A fellow C level fighter. Yet he thinks HBO should use him to fight Vivian Harris.
Well in all fairness, He do put up a good fight, when he wants But i don’t trust him after that clip ! damn i kinda wish i didnt see that you know? Now he tainted goods man, its like being hungry and knowing them peaches been in the fridge a week to long . Do you take a chance and eat one? hope you don’t get sick? or do you just go to the store and get some good fresh fruit? i vote for the fresh fruit !
That was yeeeeeeears ago and consider what he’s done since. Like I said he didn’t make that moment his whole career.
Yeah I have seen lots of Augusta fights, and have been impressed with him over all.. like you said the Ward fight was a classic war. and others I had seen were all good competitive fights . he is always on ESPN classic showing vintage fights of his , so you know he brings it, I just never seen the dive clip till today ! very disturbing to see an obvious dive like that. at least walk into the punch and take it flush on the chin. LOL
