O'Shaquie Foster vs. Raymond Ford prediction

Following a string of three consecutive split decisions, Foster came out with a noticeably more aggressive fight style in his most recent win over Stephen Fulton to cement his current title reign. The 32-year-old is still not going to impress anyone with his power, but he showed off a new layer in his game by completely shutting down Fulton, whom he out-landed 191 to 56, according to Compubox.

Foster now faces another technician in Ford, whose only career loss came by split decision against the wild Nick Ball. Foster and Ford share many similarities in their approaches in that they both want to pick their shots from the outside and manipulate the distance with their footwork.

However, as Fulton figured out over 12 long rounds, trying to out-box Foster on the outskirts is much easier said than done. The Houston native is an expert at using every inch of his length to force his opponents to fight at his range.

Foster will be two inches taller and have a three-inch reach advantage over Ford. His distance management will force Ford into an unfamiliar role of being the aggressor, which he has never had to do before in his career. Ford already has a bad habit of over-extending on his jab at times, which creates counter opportunities that Foster will capitalize on.

With his hometown roaring behind him, Foster has every incentive to continue the uptick in aggression he showed against Fulton. Ford will have to show a new wrinkle in his game to win this fight, but he will fall short on the scorecards.
