Robson Conceicao: record, next fight and profile →
O’Shaquie Foster and Robson Conceicao intend Saturday night to settle the debate as to who’s the better elite super-featherweight, but still swirling around their controversial first bout is the question of how best to document a fight’s activity.
The biggest talking point of Saturday’s Robson Conceicao-O’Shaquie Foster rematch remains what led to its creation – the highly contentious scorecards that defined their first encounter in July.
O’Shaquie Foster realizes he can’t afford to cut it close in his clashes anymore. Judges' cards have been prominent in Foster’s last three contests, most recently against Robson Conceicao in July when a split decision cost him his WBC 130-pound belt.
Robson Conceicao and O’Shaquie Foster really shouldn’t be doing this a second time. Their first fight, July 6 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just wasn’t engaging enough to warrant a rematch.
Pick It: Robson Conceicao vs. O’Shaquie Foster II When to Watch: Saturday, November 2. The preliminary broadcast begins at 5:50 p.m. Eastern Time (9:50 p.m. GMT). According to a Top Rank spokesman, the co-featured bout (Raymond Muratalla vs. Jesus Perez) is expected to begin around 10 p.m. Eastern Time (2 a.m. GMT).
Robson Conceicao is determined to prove that his title win over O’Shaquie Foster was no fluke in a junior lightweight title rematch on November 2 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
An attempt to be undisputed in a fistic sport such as boxing is tantamount to seeking greatness. That was what Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol had in mind when they went head-to-head last Saturday.
O’Shaquie Foster feels like he didn’t deserve to lose his WBC world title to Robson Conceicao in July, a split decision defeat that was derided and decried by many afterward as a robbery. That doesn’t mean he’ll approach their rematch the same way.
