Robson Conceicao faces O’Shaquie Foster in a rematch of their highly-controversial first meeting in July of this year.
Despite emerging victorious in the first fight Conceicao (+350) was adjudged by many to be extremely fortunate to pick up the WBC super-featherweight title, with many observers feeling Foster (-500) had done more than enough to retain his title.
The theme of injustice has clearly influenced the prices before the rematch, with Conceicao a heavy underdog to secure the ‘repeat’ win.
While I also scored the first fight to Foster, there wasn’t an awful lot of action throughout, so I do feel that an outright price of +350 for Conceicao To Win is very generous. Having said that, I do expect Foster to ‘right the wrong’ this time around. Look for Foster to force the action a little more this time around and win the rounds even clearer, en route to a decision win.
