Comments Thread For: Was Robson Conceicao-O'Shaquie Foster I a true robbery?

Conceicao always gives 100%. His technique sucks when it comes to power; I've never seen any other fighter throw quite so many punches as if he's literally heaving his arms at the other fighter. But I've never felt like I could fault his heart, or his willingness to engage. The only thing that could possibly make him boring, IMO, is that lack of power. He could land 1000 punches and never knock his opponent down even once.

Fact. Even though his fights with Foster and Shakur were monotonous, it is impossible to deny that he sought victory until the end. But he doesn't have the power to take Foster into deep waters like Hernandez did. Just as Foster should stay away from putting pressure on him like Navarrete and Valdez.

The funny thing is that on the Brazilian broadcast, not even Hebert Conceição, who is Robson's training partner, thought he won. This fight was **** and I doubt the rematch will be any better. Foster is a boring fighter and Robson isn't the most exciting either.

Not only was it a robbery it was a heist at the Louvre with a clean getaway

"Was Robson Conceicao-O’Shaquie Foster I a true robbery?"
- Yes, it was.
- Most people who saw the fight live at MSG in NYC, including myself, thought that Foster had won easily.
- Go O'Shaquie, go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it is time to put judges in three different rooms with their own big screen TVs?

I thought Foster won a one-sided fight. I was shocked that the judges stole that fight from him.

Shocky isn't getting any hometown edges.

Good article spot on about the bias and limitations of scoring rounds by viewers and judges. I've seen fights from the corner, ringside, the nose bleeds and my couch. They're different experiences to the senses.

I watched the fight but not carefully, it felt like Shock won but it was dreadfully boring. Hopefully both fighters understand that they need to do more this time around to make sure the results is decisive and clear.

It's kind of funny because I watched this fight with Spanish (latino) commentators, and they had Conceicao winning. I guess 2 judges likes his aggressively : CompuBox numbers showed he out-punched Foster, 701-435.
