This coming Friday over ESPN2 from Foxwoods Resort at Connecticut country, a treat is awaiting valid boxing fans - not the main event that has Paul Malignaggi vs. Donald Camarena - but rather, the very talented and entertaining pugilistic vagabond Emanuel Augustus, displaying moves in and out of the book.

Augustus has been raped in Muskegon, and victimized across the USA in white collar fashion while battling the political system in points north, south, east and west - and with it, the resume` of 31-25-6, 16 KO’s is about as realistic as the jolly elf sliding down the chimney, the bunny with the candy or the tooth fairy.

Couple off the top examples, the Muskegon rape in the Courtney Burton affair - hometown lunatic referee Dan Kelley goes the round by round harassing route before penalizing Augustus for "spinning from out of a clinch" - helped two of the scoring hacks see Burton the winner.

Second bit of hometown criminality came while Emanuel was well ahead on points in a bout at lone star state of Texas - with homey Laurence Cole in the role of babysitter - late in fight only recourse that can help the local kid is a DQ.

Regardless, our fighting tourist Emanuel Augustus, has never yet refused a dance - thus, when the original partner copped a plea (Joshua Clottey) the week of the fight, he once again agreed to the new face.

With Augustus, it matters not - a dance is a dance, whether it Snow White, Cinderella or the evil witches of NSEW  - so, be there to watch a skilled practitioner adjusting to new opponent and veteran Jaime Rangel, a southpaw currently on a 4 bout losing streak.

Final thoughts to ponder: Is Augustus finally on the receiving end of a gimme … or will the " man in charge" quickly become rattled over some of the Augustus choreography?
