Great video on an underrated super unorthodox fighter id love if it you could do a video on the old school textbook fundamentals pure boxing styles used of fighters like joe louis mayweather mike McCallum bernard hopkins bob foster james tony ect....all the famous fighters i know to have used this style has had long legendary careers & its sad that today this old school traditional style of balance defense, couter punching & using short powerful accurate punches in the pocket is fading out with the deaths of trainers eddie futch, blackburn,ray arcel,& Emmanuel Stewart

[@Thejoeordinary1]

Shark Deepwater8 Yes, and isn’t it a damn shame crooked judges literally rob deserving fighters of not only wins but of money they could make by moving up in the ratings as they win fights since after each loss they lose some marketability. These boxers put their lives on the line every time they step through those ropes and always come out different than when they go in. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but always different. They deserve nothing less than knowledgeable judges that are fair and honest.

[@trinidadonassis7411]

The way the judges used to rob this dude and the way the commentators would trash him was a disgrace. Instead of appreciating Augustus' skill, they held it against him and claimed he was making a mockery out of the sport. Anybody, go start a fist fight and try this. You would get knocked tf out asap. He mastered the fundamentals to the point that he could freestyle within the construct and immediately get his footwork and body position down pat to counter with 3 piece combinations. He's a Legend in my book.

[@luger9857]

They thought the same of tyson they just never had fights they could juge tyson ko'd his opponents by the 3rd round

Trinidad amen brother...this cat was an very unique innovator who learned the form and technique so well he was able to transcend making his own lofty style. Bravo

[@koneking2569]

Judges show bias against defensive boxers and showboaters, it's a shame Augustus could of been bigger.

[@trinidadonassis7411]

@Terry Harris Augustus was the eye opener for me as far as Boxing fuckery being exposed. What I mean by boxing fuckery is everything outside of what is really happening in the ring affecting score cards. My very first taste of this was Purnell Whittaker vs Ceasar Chavez. I was really young then and didn't understand the technical aspects of boxing but I had enough sense to know that the wrong man won. With Augustus, that Ward fight that is in this video, I was older and had more knowledge about the sport. The way the announcers would trash Augustus was disgusting. I knew what I was watching and the shit this guy would do defensively and then accurately counter from positions that make absolutely NO gat damn sense? They didn't want to appreciate that, they wanted to focus on sucka shit. Those score cards in so many of his fights were so outrageous, my Brother and I would joke, Judge #1 has the bout 247-13, and the shit would be just as bogus in real life. I'm glad people are now recognizing this guy's skill.

[@Kali-8]

[@codebreaker6342]

Yes

[@Sean-mq7wt]

It's truly phenomenal boxing performances. He has such a handle on the fundamentals of boxing that he predicts his opponent's punches without seeing them. Some of his dodges are truly uncanny. You can see he is actively predicting his opponents moves by the way he moves even when his opponents didn't attempt a swing. While this wasn't 100 percent accurate, as at times he dodges when he doesn't need to or mistimes his dodges, a lot of his dodges are truly unbelievable, and can only happen if you have a good understanding of where your opponent plans to hit you before they even take a swing. The man is moving in a way where he is anticipating his opponents movement several steps before they make the move, and doing so with good accuracy. That's a level of knowledge few likely possess.

[@BIGNOIDS]

Reminds me of a British boxer from the 90's Prince Naseem.

This is a great example of the final stage of the Japanese concept Shu Ha Ri. Shu is the focus on fundamentals and techniques, once this is mastered the practitioner moves on to Ri which is integrating improvisation and innovations.

[@facingeast7956]

Actually there is nothing special about this. All fighters reach a point in which their muscle memory has been trained enough to not have to consciously think about it and delay themselves. This allows personality and creativity to show because you no longer have to focus on being consistent or adjusting to unknowns. They also won’t hesitate when the brain experiences something “new”. In boxing, everything can be broke down to two movements really. Once someone understands the fundamentals nothing will “surprise him”. This is why Mayweather is so hard to beat.

As a guy who studies drunken(not just the forms and those crap), he ironically is doing drunken without learning drunken. One of the key senses a drunken user must always keep in mind is to never face the opponent straight on, but always coming from the side. This is incredibly hard to do consistently even in training for normal fighters because we all started with fighting face to face in the centerline. And his side jabs has a drunken taste to it too.
