I am posting to try to help accurately reflect a fight that occurred on 8/28/2010. I attended "The Rumble on the River" event hosted in Pittsburgh, PA. A sixth professional fight was conducted on the under card, though it was not listed in the published program:

One fighter was introduced as "a promising prospect" Azea Augustama, from Mexico, and fighting out of Hollywood, Florida. At that point, the fighter corrected the ring announcer to say that he was originally from Haiti, fitting Augustama's profile on the site. I was unable to hear his opponent's name, but he was billed as a "polished veteran from Toms River, New Jersey." I believe it was William Gill (Global ID: 269831). I was also unable to hear the announcement for the weight class of the fight. These two were scheduled to fight on the same date in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but for reasons I do not know, the bout occurred in Pittsburgh, PA.

The fight was scheduled for six rounds and went the distance. Augustama won a unanimous decision 60-54, 60-54, 59-55.

I sincerely apologize that I can't find any official account of the bout. The only local media coverage of the event at all was an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

While this article only recaps the main event, perhaps the reporter could be contacted?

Please excuse my lack of official results and detail. I am just a boxing fan who has found this site fascinating and invaluable, and I wanted to do anything I could to try to help keep its records as accurate as possible. I sincerely doubt that I could provide any further information, but if I can contribute anything further, please do not hesitate to ask.

First of all, thank you very much for contacting us. But, you have to understand, we can't simply put in results because of hearsay... Not that we do not believe you, but I think the commish report may fly in anyway (or not), otherwise, contacting the writer of the article... Well, I'm only an editor for a short time, don't think I can do anything about it myself, but I'm sure someone will correct it if it's wrong... Just wanted to thank you for the heads up!

No problem, I absolutely understand that more conclusive evidence is required. I just wanted to try to supply a heads up. I'm sure it will be taken care of soon. :)
