Forecast for the fight O’Shaki Foster – Robson Conceicao

If not for the unexpected results, the first fight between Foster and Conceicao would not have lived long in the memory of boxing fans due to the lack of dynamism. A rematch likely won’t be in the fight of the year conversation either, but it should provide more action as Foster is likely to improve his offensive output and the July decision is still in the spotlight.

Foster boxed and moved well in his last fight, barely getting hit by Conceicao despite the Brazilian. dealt more than 700 blows (landed at a rate of 10.8%). We’ll likely see similar defensive resilience from him while he slightly increases the pressure on Conceicao in hopes of getting the better of the judges this time.

Conceicao said he will try to make a statement in this fight, but he will have to find a way to land more meaningful punches as his strategy used in the July fight is unlikely to produce the same result if Saturday’s rematch ends.
