Wow I didn't know Augustus fought that guy, Griffith is a tough hombre... Gonna go get the popcorn and dim the lights!! :)

@mattsnow81 yeah man on just 2 days notice!

he was already in shape from his short fight with Milian so I guess he was ready enough for it

[mattsnow81]

@mrgor24 Yeah, I saw that fight yesterday (thanks to you!). He was not hit too much, I can't say the same about 'ilian though! Maybe Milian was still sleeping by the time of the Griffith fight! That was a career crusher for Milian I guess, I never heard about the guy. By the way, I am rewatching the fight with my father, and I am gonna comment to help your video get out there, I don't know if it is a good way to do it, but for now, you are easily crushing the view/comment ratio lol!

@mattsnow81 I think Milian was just one of those many guys who tried to build up a record (although 13-3 isn't great) before taking on bigger fights. He obviously isn't very durable though, got ko'd in almost all of his losses

And is that how it works? The more comments the better? Can I just spam my own vids?????

I was at this fight. Griffith from my city but been a burton/augustus fan ever since!

Round 2 was a butchery! Almost a 10-8 round!
