Angel Robinson Garcia vs Emmanuel Augustus Burton

Post by AngryGoon38 »

A.R.G was 138-80-21 with 55 ko's.
Went 10 rounds distance with Roberto Duran, just before Duran's bout vs Buchanan.
He fought from 1955-1978. Born in Cuba. Went the distance with Saul Mamby as well.
E.A.B fought and went the distance with Money Mayweather, and Mickey Ward.
Both of these fellows were defensive specialists,as far as genuine talent.
I've watched plenty of E.A.B, but A.R.G, not so, but I can only imagine that he must've been very awkward and uncomfortable, even vs top notch opposition.
So,therefore, the obvious question, who would've prevailed in a 12 rounder, at they're mutual coinciding proper 140 weigh-in..?
Both were Very capable Wiley crafty tricky professionals, obviously.
I'd probably predict E.A.B to look like he should get the decision, only to be given the loss because the judges and ref would frown on his entertaining antics, even though he deserves to get the win...? :geek:

Augustus was a good fighter but I would say that Robinson takes him.I remember an interview where he said Duran told him in a clinch " Cuban you know a lot", but that's not why I choose him, but rather he was said to have unlimited potential but squandered it on the Havana nightlife.When in shape he was a serious force.
