hey mrgor24, do you know if Oliveira was alright after that fight? It looked quite odd and scary, I have been searching on the net about what he became after that fight, (his last) and couldn't find anything.
@mattsnow81 firstly i'll say thanks for taking the time to watch my vids, i've been replying to all your comments for the past 10 minutes!
i think i remember reading somewhere that it was a pinched nerve?? which isn't anything too serious but it was obviously painful enough at the time. a little sad that it was Oliveira's last fight, you can see his frustration at how this one ended and he deserved to leave the fight game in a more honorable way
@mrgor24 Ok good, a pinched nerve in the neck is not so bad, I was thinking about brain bleeding. I had that happening to me (a pinched nerve at the back of the neck) and it's painful as hell. I've never been in the ring, so I can't imagine how painful that is, but I am glad it's just that. As you sure know, Oliveira has had a great fan pleasing carrer. He threw like always 100 punches per round.
@landreev Yeah I heard about that! He says he wasn't himself in this fight, that he hardly trained and wasn't right mentally etc, and wants to get to 50 wins instead of being remembered as he was in his last fight here. For his sake I hope he succeeds.
Kudos to Steve Smoger for taking care of Oliveira, as he should have. Definitely one of the best ref in the game, it's rare to see a ref calling it right down the middle on an Augustus fight.
But listen at 0:37 what he says to the cornermen, LOL!
Amazing class act by augustus, refusing to punch Oliveira to the head when something was obviously very wrong. Oliveira has had a great career, always coming to fight. Oliveira never fought again after that fight. Thanx for posting this great fight.
@mattsnow81 agreed about augustus... if that had been a lot of other fighters they might not have given a damn.... i can't see someone like mayorga showing refrain like that lol
@bromista83 Totally agrred, I had the chance of talking to Augustus after his fight against Ngoudjo in Montreal, I was there in the crowd for that great fight (I live in Quebec). He is a good guy. If you wanna check out that great fight it is on mrgor24 channel, I tell you, it's worth watching! While I was there, I thaught Augustus won, that's what I told him. But on vid it is a different perspective, I think a draw would have been fair. The official scoring was just wrong.
Augustus only hit him in the body once he saw something was wrong. Great sportsmanship and character from Augustus.

@mrgor24 Yeah he seemed to be in a great lot of pain. Long though career as Atlas said.
