Moments to note:
[ 0:46-1:18 ] - Augustus took control of the fight early. I messed up the order a little by leaving out the clowning till the end, although he did do some drunken dancing late too.
[ 1:21-2:14 ] - The knock down in round 4 that was ruled low by referee Dan Kelley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFyak-KQn5Y (go to 2:21). The punch landed on the belt, which isn't low, and was effective because of the first punch which clearly hurt Burton. Burton was given as much time as he needed to recover.
[ 2:15-2:34 ] - Of course the fight wasn't totally one-sided. Burton won some middle rounds by pressuring Augustus when he got lazy.
[ 2:53-3:07 ] - Some showboating that was mentioned earlier. He started it off in round 3 but also did it late too.
[ 3:16-3:31 ] - Augustus getting a point deduction for spinning out of a clinch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-TIJ1CCZDs (go to 0:42). I couldn't make it happen in the game (obviously), but it was too big of an event in the fight to leave out.
[ 4:08-4:47 ] - The decision and Teddy Atlas going off (audio taken from the actual telecast). Two judges scored it 99-90 and 97-92 for Burton, while the other had it 98-94 for Augustus.
Things I left out:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQV0EKG1bz4 (go to 0:49) During one of Augustus' good offensive sequences Dan Kelley stepped in and warned him of a low blow when the punch was nowhere near low.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQV0EKG1bz4 (go to 6:50) Burton threw plenty of illegal rabbit punches (punches to the back of the head) of Augustus, but wasn't warned at all. Another thing I couldn't mimic in the game.
- Let me know if there's anything else!

CREATOR'S NOTE: Augustus is featured in EA Sports' Fight Night Round 4, although I had to create Courtney Burton (I just used a default face, it doesn't really look much like him). Augustus doesn't really accurately depict his appearance at the time of the fight either, but it would've been stupid to create a boxer for him when he's already in the game. All I did was change his apparel.
