Augere Shocks Gotti III

Daniel “The Eagle Catcher” Augere scored a major upset in the co-feature, stopping previously unbeaten John Gotti III with a thunderous left hook in the third round of their six-round scheduled light heavyweight contest.

Augere, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, was offered the bout on late notice after original opponent James Hagler Jr. withdrew due to injury—and he made the most of his opportunity.

Gotti, who had spent his entire training camp preparing for a southpaw, was forced to adjust to Augere’s orthodox style at the last minute. To make matters worse, the Oyster Bay, NY native battled through a stomach bug during fight week but insisted on going forward with the bout.

Despite the challenges, Gotti was in full control early on, snapping Augere’s head back with crisp left hooks in the opening round and landing right hand counters in round two.  The 31-year-old looked poised to close the show in round three, dropping Augere with a perfectly timed right hand.

The Montana brawler showed grit, however, beating the count and firing back under pressure.  As Gotti pressed for the finish, Augere unleashed a series of left hooks—one of which landed flush on Gotti's chin, sending him crashing to the canvas.

Gotti bravely beat the count but was unable to continue, as referee Eddie Claudio waved off the contest at 1:37 of round three, sealing Augere’s shocking victory.
