Although I am not dying to see this one again, I am glad they ordered it.
foster will probably get robbed again if the fight is under top rank , espn , arum. he will need a ko or tko .
No. The right decision was made to schedule a rematch. I think foster comes out swinging this time and takes this fight. Although, I agreed the right man won. That fight was there for the taking by foster. Unless foster has a glass chin, conceicao doesn’t have the power to stop him especially with his power slap shots. Foster by unanimous decision this time.
I hope Conceição KTFO this cat this time.
“The WBC has ordered an immediate rematch between WBC super featherweight champion Robson Conceição and former champion O’Shaquie Foster.”
– Good.
– I was there at the Prudential Center and saw this fight live.
– Two judges were dead-wrong.
– Foster blocked most/all shots thrown at him.
– Gave only one round to Robson.
– Go O’Shaquie, go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gary G., you said “ Foster blocked most/all shots thrown at him.” You forgot to add “but he didn’t counter.” If you don’t counter and let the other guy do all the punching, you lose, period.
“Gary G., you said “ Foster blocked most/all shots thrown at him.” You forgot to add “but he didn’t counter.””
– Robson’s aggression was ineffective.
– Agree that Foster should have thrown more punches to widen the margins of the round.
– You are not going to change my opinion and I am not going to change yours.
– So we agree to disagree.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Effective aggression means you are forcing your opponent onto the back foot. His aggression was 100% effective
Maybe now Foster can stop crying. And maybe next time he will actually throw punches. That wasn’t a controversial decision whatsoever, unless you say it’s because it was split and not unanimous.
“That wasn’t a controversial decision whatsoever,…”
– Did you actually score the fight??????
Here’s a quick assessment Gary and Jody. We can agree to disagree is probably the most relevant statement for this particular fight. I as some of you know saw it Conceicao. I almost think foster fell in love with just blocking shots and shoulder rolls. If he had countered he may of swung that decision his way. Here’s a little advise for oshaquie. Swing and throw punches because if you go out and do the same song and dance, the outcome will be the same. Good day.
– One has to actually score the fight to see who has won.
– “Thinking” that one fighter is victorious while not scoring the fight leads to incorrect conclusions.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Gary, how else would have I came to that conclusion? I scored the fight when it happened and when the fight was over, I detailed my reasons for my decision as well. The only time I would think someone won is if I watched a truncated version of the fight. Good day.
KK:
– I was referring to Jody Partin, if he scored the fight or not.
Oh, my bad! Good day. How’s that weather in Philly?
This is going to be a better fight. Foster will have to risk in order to land, and might allow Conceicao to land as well, and this time, who ever wins, will be no controversy, especially if a knockout happens
Nice to read about a rematch.
We will see if Foster makes any offensive adjustments because we already know Conceicao will continue with pressure and a high punch volume (hit or miss).
The judges may also play a factor as to which boxing style appeal to their eyes, after 12 rounds.
Any time a boxer loses his title by split decision ort majority decision, there should be an automatic rematch. Also if a fight ends in a draw.
As long as it was truly a bad decision
Conceicao landed only 11% of his punches and landed 50 less punches then Foster, so exactly how did he win, throwing and missing or getting hit more.
A rematch is the right thing to do, but I have no interest in seeing it!
The least they could do!! Poor kid was gutted!!!! Haven’t felt this bad since Meldrick Taylor was robbed his chance at a unanimous decision win over Chavez!!
