Robson Conceicao and O'Shaquie Foster make weight and hope to put controversy behind them

O’Shaquie Foster and Robson Conceicao each got here in underneath the junior light-weight restrict on the Friday weigh-in for his or her Saturday title battle at Turning Stone Resort On line casino in Verona, New York (5:50 p.m. ET), regardless of every carrying a substantial chip on his shoulder.

In the meantime, Foster, 31, who bested Rey Vargas in February final 12 months to earn a vacant title and adopted with two profitable defenses earlier than (puzzlingly) being outpointed on the judges’ scorecards in opposition to Conceicao, is raring to show why he deserved the nod within the battle all alongside.
