@Anglagard1 'Augustus is the subject of a documentary film entitled "The Journeyman" currently being filmed in Brownsville, Texas. Documentary filmmaker Sean Lynn will follow Augustus until he gets a shot at a world title or retires. Filming began in March 2006.

Every boxer has a story to tell, and I'm sure I'd love to hear Augustus'. I have much love and respect for Augustus, who has shown grit and character throughout a career that has brought much entertainment to people with little reward. It takes 2 fighters to make a fight of the year.

@Anglagard1 What has Burton done in his career in boxing? What struggles did he have to face? Micky Ward was a perfect subject for the movie because of him and his family coming together after the struggles they faced

Why? What's so interesting about Emanuel Augustus (Burton)? Why would I watch a movie about him?

@jmcossio87 Nah he knew exactly what he was into :D He has a very canny and slick defense. If you watch close, Ward is still landing 15-20% of his shots tops while Augustus is picking accurate counters. Most of wards rights are sliding right over EAs left shoulder while wards lefts are landing on EAs glove and lower right arm. I swear if the guy took his career seriously he'd a multi-time world champion, but then if he did get serious he wouldnt be the drunken master we all know and love :D
