Emanuel Augustus travels to Courtney Burton's hometown and gets robbed by the officials. Dancing and pounding his chest, Augustus hits Burton at will in the third round and then drops him onto his hands and knees with a pair of body shots in the fourth; however, Referee Dan Kelley rules them low blows and gives Burton precious recovery time. After a few competitive rounds, Augustus starts talking to the crowd, dancing and dominating Burton in the eighth. Kelley again makes his presence felt when he bizarrely docks Augustus a point for spinning himself around in the ninth round. Augustus finishes strong, out landing Burton big in the tenth, but the judges see Burton a split decision winner by outlandish margins.
