Part II --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2pgZ-PaL6ChJI Full Playlist --- kzbin.info/aero/PLfiDYFpSANdAI_AzVwLQEKGCboD6yS4h0 Thank you for watching, and I appreciate all the feedback - it helps with the future vids.

[@brianbecotte1635]

I could watch this guy's fights any day. His style is so unique. Truly an artist

[@hugdablok6162]

He should be in the Hall of Fame.

[@mrgor24]

That'd be the dream

[@dadbot8480]

His ability to slip punches is otherworldly

[@deanvoss7098]

No way hall of fame. He lost half of his fights and was not dedicated enough to boxing. Simply clowning around in the ring and slipping punches is that even close to enough to be a Hall of Famer

[@hakbenjamin1552]

​@@deanvoss7098I agree about your statement about him not having the commitment or score needed for the hall of fame. However to say he only clowns around and throws punches is an understatement of his true abilites. Many of his most credible oponents like Mayweather and Ward would likely fundamentally disagree with your overall veiw.

[@eddyyt7466]

@@deanvoss7098correction, he was robbed in half of his fights, I see literally only 3-4 fights he actually truly lost

[@dogbee]

This was an awesome tribute! The only video do chronologically showcase Augustus's career I've seen. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

[@geauxfast8u2]

He might of been the most screwed fighter of all time⚠️ He is no doubt a giant among men fighting in the ring Pure athletic and showmanship I ❤ watching him at work Hate seeing him get screwed!

[@michaelpapa]

Had no idea the judges scores vs Vester were in his favour, such a shame he was taken to that point mentally where he didnt want another bad decision and lost on his own terms.

[@mrgor24]

Yeah same, it was only when I looked into it that I found that out. It was a relatively close fight, although Augustus mostly controlled the second half of the fight. Might've helped if I understood Danish because I would've been interested to know what the commentators thought was happening.

[@kenhmful]

Im a Norwegian, i have been a boxing fan at least 40years, love the drunken master, i have never seen or heard of this danish boxer before. Would loved to get all the judges who robbed him trough his matches at the same place and forced them to re-watch all his fights and then stand up and tell why the robbed him so many times. Boxing has the hall of fame, the judges should have their own hall, the hall of shame! Cause those assholes has for decades given the sport of boxing a bad reputation, manny fights i give a shit to watch couse off those paid of bullshit judges. Thats why i complitly stopd watching K1 fights, specialy from Japan. Hall of shame for the judges, promotors and boxers shold be the next thing for boxing,

I can't wait for part 2.this is the only documentary that I can find of him.

[@Liam_Graer]

Part two please This was a brilliant video I wonder if the Danish commentary would have been like the British in the thaxton fight......(I'm English and don't speak Danish) but the British were bigging up thaxtons record expecting him to knock out the little guy with four defeats this year already.....then Augustus starts to box....and they even say to each other things like "well Burton is not boxing like his record would suggest." "For a boxer with four defeats already to his name this year you wouldn't expect the talent we are seeing here" Eventually they cut to Barry in the studio Who saying if thaxton can hang on till the final bell he might just have stolen this one But luckily Augustus does knock thaxton out and wins ... I wonder if the Danish would have been similarly biased towards the home talent until seeing him be totally out classed and the extra added terrible referee...would they eventually have Burton win them over aswell .....who knows.... But fantastic video either way and thanks for making it and please make a million more if you have a spare minute somewhen?!!?

[@mrgor24]

Thanks for the support! I agree it would've been good to know what the Danish commentators were saying. The only thing i could make out watching it was at the end of some rounds they would say "something something Burton ja", which sounded like they were saying he won the round. They would also react when he landed a good punch so they at least sounded more impartial than some of the commentary I've heard. I'm definitely working through part 2, just very slowly. Been busy with personal life but it's on it's way 👍

[@desmondscoby1943]

Entertaining and Skilled beyond his years Yet lack of name promotor or manager kept him at journeyman level.but he's a cult legend One of the last word of mouth mythological fighters in the modern era

[@nonethelessbysignificantvi197]

Totally awesome ....this is truly a man that loves to fight.........

[@caleb6725]

Thank you for this, burton/Augustus is my favorite fighter of all time and the boxing world did him dirty. Today he would be loved for his entertaining style!

[@surgicalboxing1551]

when i moved to Baton Rouge in 04 to goto LSU. i was able to train at the same gym he came up in, 14th Street Boxing. the stories of Emmanual in the gym were legendary. they said he would come into the gym, turn on the music, then start beating everyone's ass in the ring while moving to the rhythm of the beat.

[@mrgor24]

I wish I had some stories like that to include in this. I didn't want to delve into stuff that I had no real sources of. So you got to see the sparring sessions yourself?

[@surgicalboxing1551]

@@mrgor24 no I didn’t. He was training somewhere else by the time I got there. He got shot in the head while walking in the hood & survived. He’s not a trainer at Beat 2 Sleep in Baton Rouge. I got to meet him once. U can tell he had a wonderful soul

[@mrgor24]

That lines up with everything else I've seen/ read about him. The dude deserves some good fortune

[@WDLC1911]

@@mrgor24 , the only things to really see here is LSU’s stadium, it’s live mascot and the State Capitol Building (the tallest in the USA). Lafayette is the cultural center for Cajun Culture and its small, nice and full of rich culture. New Orleans Metro is the center of Creole Culture and while it’s also rich in culture it’s also rich in violence - as is Baton Rouge since Hurricane Katrina.

[@mrgor24]

@@WDLC1911 mixed reviews then huh. I've been to New Orleans once but didn't realise Baton Rouge was the state capitol. I'll have to check it out if I get a chance 👍 And let me know if you got any stories I can include in all this. I'm working with pretty limited info and inferring a lot in regards to his career

[@cuba8188]

I wish the boxing gods blessed this man with ko power! He was really something beautiful to watch his defense was extremely underrated and he was done so dirty.. he was to boxing what Charles Bennet was to ufc.. the only entertainer that came close was prince Naseem

Should've based himself in Britain after stopping world ranked Jon Thaxton for the WBO & IBF 140Ib Intercontinental belts. Augustus, or Burton back then was 23 at the time and 32 fights into his career.

[@SYM814]

15:50 "you will take him anytime you want it" that speaks for it self. When he wanted it he could have been more ferocious than tyson

Hey thanks for that man I appreciate you watching as always 👍 The music in this series is mostly original, created by either me or my cousins (old stuff we messed around with long ago) as I'm trying to keep it all copyright free.

[@mrgor24]

Plenty more where that came from, this was only the first 5 years

[@Desh681]

I just don't understand how the scoring works. That first fight was: Burton, draw, draw. Yet it was a draw? Like what, shouldn't it be simple maths?

[@mrgor24]

Na you need two judges to have it scored your way to win. It's more like they're taking a vote from each judge.

[@We-Do-NOT-Consent-303]

So this is how Muhammad Ali was able to predict in which round he would knock someone out. I have suspected something like this. Because many times you can not see the knockout blows because Alis's back was toward the camera. And it seamed like those blows were not so powerful. Ali A fighter everyone else is B fighter.
