Well now, let me tell ya, this whole thing with boxing and O’Shaquie Foster, it’s just a big ol’ mess, ain’t it? This poor fella, he done everything right, but them judges… well, they sure didn’t see it that way. You’d think after all that work, he’d be able to walk out with his title still in his hands, but no, he got robbed, just like that. Foster had defended his WBC 130-pound belt a few times already, but when it came to his fight with Robson Conceicao, somethin’ went sideways real quick.
Now, this here O’Shaquie, he was doin’ his thing just fine. He was ahead in the fight, punchin’ and movin’ like he was supposed to, but when the scorecards came in, you could tell something wasn’t right. They gave it to Conceicao! That ain’t no fair way to run a fight, I tell ya. Even the folks who was watchin’ at home knew who won, but the judges… well, they had other ideas. Some people said them cards were just plain “putrid,” like they had a mind of their own.
And I don’t know about you, but when Stephen A. Smith starts speakin’ up about it, you know it’s big news. He’s a big sports fella, and he was mad too. Said them judges messed up something awful. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just him. Fans everywhere were talkin’ about how Foster was robbed. Some folks even called it straight-up theft, like they took his belt without even blinkin’. Ain’t no way Foster deserved that, not after all the effort he put into that fight.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Conceicao’s a good fighter, but he wasn’t the better man that night. O’Shaquie Foster did more than enough to keep that belt. But, like I said, them judges—they had their own way of seein’ things. It’s a real shame when the sport is tainted by such bad callin’ like that. Foster deserved to keep what he worked so hard for.
But here’s the twist, though: Foster didn’t stay down. Nope, he came back strong. After that loss, he fought Conceicao again, and this time, he got his revenge. They went at it in Verona, and wouldn’t ya know it, Foster reclaimed his WBC junior lightweight title. It was a close one, but in the end, them scorecards flipped in his favor. A split decision, 115-113 for Foster. So, the man’s a two-time world champion now, even though they tried to take it from him once before.
It just goes to show, you can’t keep a good man down for long. Foster showed that even though them judges messed up once, he was still the better fighter when it counted. Now he’s back on top, and that’s what matters in the end.
So, if you ask me, Foster was robbed the first time around, but he fought his way back and proved them wrong. That’s the way boxing goes sometimes, but it sure ain’t right when the judges can’t see the truth. If you ask me, Foster deserves a lot more respect for how he handled all that mess.
