The Drunken Master - Emanuel Augustus Insane Style Explained | Technique Breakdown 

Great video on an underrated super unorthodox fighter id love if it you could do a video on the old school textbook fundamentals pure boxing styles used of fighters like joe louis mayweather mike McCallum bernard hopkins bob foster james tony ect....all the famous fighters i know to have used this style has had long legendary careers & its sad that today this old school traditional style of balance defense, couter punching & using short powerful accurate punches in the pocket is fading out with the deaths of trainers eddie futch, blackburn,ray arcel,& Emmanuel Stewart

Subbed!

this is the closest boxers get to fighting DBZ style. moving swiftly away from incoming hits.

Never heard about this guy my entire life and you just reinvigorated my interest in boxing thanks for that video. For context I'm 36 and I was a kid who watched Mike Tyson Fall From Grace when he fought Holyfield. Guys like Lennox Lewis ruined boxing for me.

The Modern Martial Artist Can you do a James Toney breakdown? He was one of the best but I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves always.

I don't get the ahead of his time. He was perfect for his time. Everything has it's moment. But the grass is always greener. Amazing style

@@ebossnz6838 Officials were deducting points from him and claiming he was disrespecting the sport. His flashy style would've been more popular and celebrated nowadays.

Imagine prime Naz vs prime Augustus

He'd be tiktok famous after 1 round

Yeah. He was a savant. He had clairvoyance to the sport.

If you take a look at his boxing register he also use to fight whoever/whenever/wherever like he had fights not even a month apart or something like that

He was the ultimate master. Only perfecting his crafted mattered. poetic af......

@@burdock4419 And never did thou planned, that an arrow could end his adventures.

@@SlytherinnMain Didnt he? The closest person ive seen that could match his particular style was mvp ir capoera. The fluidity im speaking. His technique is a thing of jazz so its never perfect and thats what makes it so distinct.

They thought the same of tyson they just never had fights they could juge tyson ko'd his opponents by the 3rd round

Trinidad amen brother...this cat was an very unique innovator who learned the form and technique so well he was able to transcend making his own lofty style. Bravo

Judges show bias against defensive boxers and showboaters, it's a shame Augustus could of been bigger.

@Terry Harris Augustus was the eye opener for me as far as Boxing fuckery being exposed. What I mean by boxing fuckery is everything outside of what is really happening in the ring affecting score cards. My very first taste of this was Purnell Whittaker vs Ceasar Chavez. I was really young then and didn't understand the technical aspects of boxing but I had enough sense to know that the wrong man won. With Augustus, that Ward fight that is in this video, I was older and had more knowledge about the sport. The way the announcers would trash Augustus was disgusting. I knew what I was watching and the shit this guy would do defensively and then accurately counter from positions that make absolutely NO gat damn sense? They didn't want to appreciate that, they wanted to focus on sucka shit. Those score cards in so many of his fights were so outrageous, my Brother and I would joke, Judge #1 has the bout 247-13, and the shit would be just as bogus in real life. I'm glad people are now recognizing this guy's skill.

Time changes all that

Killuas godspeed😂

He makes me think ultra instinct is real

@@datofficial6062 it looks like it

Facts asf

timescape 1 It is..

God that’s so evil as hell that Augustus was shot. I’m glad he’s alive and healing.

I wish he never got shot. I hope whoever shot him pays.

wait, what? he got shot in the back of the head? what the fuck : (

My god man. Miracle he’s with us. Tough SOB. Wonder what even happened

@@thepjup4507 yeah it was in 2014

Bro was 38-34. Entertaining, but not a HoF fighter.

@@jakelloyd3993 nah man, his record on face value alone doesnt say anything

Some of his losses were robberies

@@jakelloyd3993 he was robbed a lot so his record can’t really be put into hof talks but he def deserves a spot

Dude was amazing but for the most part was only effective against certain types of fighters. Even Mayweather underestimated him and got a big surprise.

You might like the prince naseem aswell

He got robbed with decisions. A lot

Same

Xander: really the SAME here! :-D No no: in the first 3 seconds...!

He was robbed soooo much

joe trevino crooked judges are in all eras...and always will be.

Seems more likely they thought he was making a mockery of the sport and judged him unfairly instead of what he was actually accomplishing in the ring.

@@Thejoeordinary1 That comment was so prolific to anyone who isn't deep into boxing. Because you couldn't be more correct and truth telling.

joe trevino meet the original drunken master. Originator of unorthodox footwork: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BtwrGZnp9b0.html

Shark Deepwater8 Yes, and isn’t it a damn shame crooked judges literally rob deserving fighters of not only wins but of money they could make by moving up in the ratings as they win fights since after each loss they lose some marketability. These boxers put their lives on the line every time they step through those ropes and always come out different than when they go in. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but always different. They deserve nothing less than knowledgeable judges that are fair and honest.

@@salvationbygracethroughfaith Movement is not wasted if it has a purpose. Each step must be precise for what he is doing to be to his advantage.

​@@emblem2425His dancing already contradicts the no movement wasted part though but I get your point. He is indeed a master of his craft.

Impressive

@Flak Rocky? lmao

@Flak he prolly thoight u were talking abt rocky balboa lmao

And mocking your missed punches at the same time

The ultimate insult would be if he suddenly stops, rips out a stinker and then continue dancing while you keep trying to land a contact with the rancid fumes up your nose.

I would have lose my shit and go wild. Making me more predictable.

And people still think martial arts is a joke

Yeah bruh imagine that bruh, crazy bruh wow bruh

Its rocklee

Yes

It's truly phenomenal boxing performances. He has such a handle on the fundamentals of boxing that he predicts his opponent's punches without seeing them. Some of his dodges are truly uncanny. You can see he is actively predicting his opponents moves by the way he moves even when his opponents didn't attempt a swing. While this wasn't 100 percent accurate, as at times he dodges when he doesn't need to or mistimes his dodges, a lot of his dodges are truly unbelievable, and can only happen if you have a good understanding of where your opponent plans to hit you before they even take a swing. The man is moving in a way where he is anticipating his opponents movement several steps before they make the move, and doing so with good accuracy. That's a level of knowledge few likely possess.

Reminds me of a British boxer from the 90's Prince Naseem.

Whos cooler

I'm only 39, dreading my next birthday!! How did you pull through the big 40!!

I'd say many Myths and Legends have a few nuggets of truth in them

J Brown damn sounds like myself expect I’m lucky to not have been shot. It’s sucks tho and they did nothing but cheat him.

J Brown poor guy too bad the systems rigged

Makes me wonder if he learned the style from an actual drunk while being homeless on the streets.

MyLearning Account makes me wonder how much intellect you have...

@@mumblezz__5890 yeah I really relate with him I love Muay Thai and only in the ring am I truly free

This would be the final boss in the hood.

see "bloodborne"

Imagine trying to put his movements in a game period

I am very very close to LOL

Hahahaha....Right!!!

Dude is like a drunken master

I first saw him on Friday Night Fights when I was a kid. Didn't know his name but remembered the style and how the ref kept interrupting his flow whenever he tried to pull a dance move. Found out his name on Facebook about 7 years ago and glad he's getting some recognition.

Just like politics

@@justinesj3778 yo shut up about Mayweather

@Maafa 1619 facts....

@Maafa 1619 like Muhammad ali. The most loved cockiest boxer to exist. Stop talking shit.

Yea because he has an unorthodox fighting style the judges wouldn't give him decision cuz of form it's sad really. I feel like if no rules aren't being broken fighting style shouldn't matter long as u hit them more u should win right x.x? Idk

@@goochsmooch8159 they mostly didn't like that their fighters were made to look stupid. It works if they beat Augustus bc it turns into "he beat an unorthodox guy" if not just Rob EA

yeah, they really robbed him , he won allot of fights and it went to the other guy, that's why i stopped watching boxing, judges are corrupt. They call the fight how they want it, not how the fight went down..

you didn't watch this guy live lol.

Ironically now boxing needs a guy like him to bring boxing back to casual fans

How u did only 18 likes 💀💀

He would be😆😆😆

I've fought a drunken fist student and it is one of the hardest things defend against it's so unorthodox that its damn near impossible to predict what is happened or what's about to happen

Sounds like Eddy Gordo to me 😂

Honestly, I'm surprised more fighters dont take his sort of tactics... we need more innovation

Or a movie!

This is canon to me.

Hahaha

😆 😆 lol

Muhammad Ali had that same conversation with his dad.

Thats hillarious haha

And loses half his fights. What was Bruce Lee's professional record?

Augustus is one of the few examples of people who I think genuinely LOVE to fight. Not for the sadistic thrill of violence, or for the need for money or fame, but because that’s how he best expresses himself.

@@adamplentl5588 Bruce lee was way to good for anyone to challenge him...he smacked the one guy and dislocated his shoulder...he knocked Jackie chan out on accident...while filming..he was a force to be reckoned with

@@GANGSTARSWAGS oh yeah that must be it. He was just too good to ever actually be in any real fight ever at all. You fucking weebs are so stupid.

@@adamplentl5588 well they made ufc after him ...mma=mixed martial arts😂 which he created and made a mixture of two martial arts and named it "jeet kun do" but even Jackie chan said when Bruce knocked him out it has way too much for for someone his size...then can u explain the one handed punch that knocked the one guy atleast 12-15 feet back?? Yeah non of his fights were on camera but we all know he wouldn't just casually show off his abilities.. he'd end up hurting them 💯💯

Underrated comment and fighter

😂👌🏽

I train with this guy😳

Tbh he was robbed so many times. Go see his record. I saw a video of his last ever fight and he was robbed. He wasnt even dancing in that fight. (Judges hated him cause he danced )

@@APAMVs judges and also many boxers hated him because he did everything so effortlessly even in Mayweather fight he cornerd him

I've seen a ref warn another fighter to not do a 360

I would like your comment but it's on 420 and I don't want to ruin it 👌😎

@Simon Hawkins Do it....DO IT!

You mean needing attention.

Khekuto Lian It's a sad shame he didn't have a real killer instinct& or a real KO punch, he would have been invincible.. He always seemed to be having fun,&making it all look so easy. Waaay better than his record

He was the ppls champ in his era..... if you were a real boxing fan you always thought of him when talking about you fav fighters..... I know I did......

@@montbrink4700 Bruh you don't really make any sense!!☻

@@liankhekuto what you mean it doesn't make sense... you must be be an imbecile....... if you were a BOXING fan during his era then you would know who he was and that he was well liked and respected by people who into BOXING....... so exactly what part don't you understand

His thinking is on a different plane to everyone else. If Floyd Mayweather says he was his most difficult opponent who am I to argue.

Totally agree....!! It s a pitty

@acebasespace Actually no....

It would be far worse to be on the receiving end of that style

Imagine fighting him. It would the most annoying and frustrating fights

They wouldn't even allow you at most gyms unless you pulled it out in sparring you'd be admonished

@@MisterVolts ... well that depends on how well it's executed. Some idiot (i.e. me) trying that out would get knocked out in seconds, ducking into a punch.

I can dig it.

Nice 😊

Actually there is nothing special about this. All fighters reach a point in which their muscle memory has been trained enough to not have to consciously think about it and delay themselves. This allows personality and creativity to show because you no longer have to focus on being consistent or adjusting to unknowns. They also won’t hesitate when the brain experiences something “new”. In boxing, everything can be broke down to two movements really. Once someone understands the fundamentals nothing will “surprise him”. This is why Mayweather is so hard to beat.

Or muscle memory

My man Augusta putting that pineal and melanin to work.

Ehhh he lost nearly as many matches as he won.

@@ms-terious robbed tho

Got his number still? This guy would become a may Thai Legend if he learned Mauy Thai. Also how do you train like this guy?

"Both were robbed of victories numerous times".....Bro Aaron Pryor lost 1 fight🤔

@C Matt Emanuel Augustus had 78 fights and 38 losses. True, Aaron Pryor had 40 fights and 1 loss. “Both” is cumulative, as intended, with the majority being Emanuel Augustus’ losses and him being the subject of the video.

This guy is a cross breed of every character on street fighter mortal kombat tekken and killer instinct

For some boxers sure but any who learned how to really brawl would turn him into hamburger meat

Mayweather said Augustus is one of the hardest fighters he fought. Mayweather couldn't read Augustus, because his movement was unpredictable.

Dead or alive 3 is the only game ive played where there is a fighter that uses drunken fist.

Mentally Chill he can read well enough to make hundreds of millions

Not drunk, just loose and confident.

Looks more like a dip of Capoeira to me

I guess if you’re gonna be literal about it

That's kinda the point. Wild, drunken even, but nonetheless having guidance and direction to the flow of chaos.

You don't actually need to be drunk to be a drunken master It a artstyle that use unpredictable movement like dancing and falling to distract enemy into a opening

LMFAO FR FR!!!

Fantastic joke.
