O’Shaquie Foster is one of those guys who likely would have received a career definer fight a bit earlier, if not for Covid. He’s 19-2, at 29 years old, and gets a chance to make decades of toil worth it Saturday night, in his home state of Texas, against a tall-order foe, Rey Vargas.
The 32 year old Mexican, maybe he’s a bit more weathered than some assume, and will show wear n tear in defense of his WBC super featherweight title. Foster has had battles, inside the ring aplenty, and while jockeying for position in sanctioning body top. It could be we see a narrative turn for the underdog at the Alamodome as he triumphs in front of friends and family—-but this is a hard lift against a rival who can enter the fight with the knowledge he’s passed multiple exams such as this one.
