WBC super featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster says Raymond Ford needs to spend less time talking and more time preparing for the punishment he expects to deliver when they meet this Saturday night in Houston.
Foster and Ford go head to head on DAZN from the Fertitta Center in a fight that has become increasingly personal during fight week. Foster made it clear he’s not worried about Ford’s confidence or social media exchanges coming his way.
“Hey, you don’t talk to me like that and react to everything I say. You better work on your chin, do some neck exercises. For some of these s***s, you’re going to get beat because we’re not worried. We’re built that way,” Foster told Matchroom Boxing.
The fight matches two of the best fighters in the 130-lb division, but Foster seems focused on making it physical. Ford moved up after losing his WBA featherweight title to Nick Ball last year and now faces one of the sharpest counterpunchers in the sport. Foster’s comments suggest he believes Ford underestimates the hitting power and toughness he will face on Saturday night.
Ford spoke confidently throughout the promo, but Foster sounds like a fighter who expects a hard fight rather than a technical chess match. Saturday’s main event could turn into one of the more physical fights of the year if both men stay in the pocket as Foster expects.
