O'Shaquie Foster prevails in New York City

O'Shaquie Foster W10 Alberto Mercado... In the Broadway Boxing main event in New York City, super featherweight  O'Shaquie "Ice Water" Foster cruised to a ten-round unanimous decision against Puerto Rico's Alberto Mercado, 16-4-1 with 3 KOs. Foster, from Houston, spent much of the contest using feints to catch Mercado with quick counters upstairs. A patient Foster picked his shots well and showed good timing to land with maximum impact and efficiency. When backed against the ropes in round six, Foster found the space to land short right hooks to the body to weaken his adversary. Clearly hurt, Mercado's legs were rubbery in the seventh and Foster wisely continued to dig downstairs. Outboxing Mercado in the closing rounds, Foster seized the victory with tallies of 99-91 (twice) and 98-92. Foster, now 17-2 (10 KOs), is working his way toward a world title shot. source: dibella entertainment
