Emanuel Augustus (Burton) knocks out Terrell Finger

Last round of the 1999 fight between Emanuel Burton (now Augustus) and Terrell Finger.

Finger was undefeated at the time and was building up a knock out record at 21(15)-0-1. Augustus was 20-13-4, but had gone 9-1-1 in his last 11, with the loss being his infamous "dive" against Allan Vester, and the draw being a controversial one in Denmark against Soren Sondergaard.

I remember this fight. Finger was totally outclassed. In my opinion Burton was the most underrated boxer in the history of the sport. He always got the short end of stick, no love from the judges and refs. And as you can see he truly has a full arsenal of skill and technique.
