O'Shaquie Foster, who has lived and trained in Houston for past six years, faces...
Heavyweights - Victor Faust vs. Lenier Pero "It's a big goal of mine to become part of the club of three-division champions," Vargas said Thursday."I want to be one of the best that there's ever been in Mexican boxing."
The 29-year-old Foster will be there to stop the coronation. Although he'll be fighting just about 200 miles west of his home base, he knows there's a chance he's performing in front of a pro-Vargas crowd as San Antonio's boxing enthusiasts tend to root for Hispanic fighters. Jermell Charlo encountered the same atmosphere there.
"I’m coming to spoil the show," Foster said."I know he's going to have the fans on his side, but by the end of the night the world is going to see what I'm really made of." Although Vargas easily will be the toughest opponent of his career, Foster has plenty of experience against elite competition. As an amateur, he came, losing a narrow decision to future world champion Joseph Diaz in the final of the Olympic Trials. He also routinely trains with Prograis at Main Street Boxing Gym, and he's worked a lot of with former 130-pound champion Shakur Stevenson.
Foster's slick style and ability to smoothly change stances usually gives opponents issues. Vargas, on the other hand, is a little more unorthodox, but is extremely patient, having not secured a stoppage in more than six years. The 32-year-old also already has been in seven world title fights and has picked up plenty in the mind game department.
