Yuri Foreman defends his N.A.B.F light middleweight title tonight on Versus network in an excellent match-up against Mexican veteran Saul Roman in the 10-round main event.
Yuri Foreman, 24-0 (8) is a hot New York- Israeli prospect from with a smooth slick boxing style. Saul Roman, 28-4 (24), most recently defeated former contender Kassim Ouma this past November with his volume punching and sheer determination. Roman has been stopped in all 4 of his losses by KO but he is a tough fighter with plenty of heart and those stoppages are misleading. Foreman is a ticket seller 
and has been matched accordingly thus far in his career, but Foreman has had some struggles against pressure fighters in Roman’s mold. The OVER\UNDER for Yuri Foreman vs Saul Roman at 9.5 rounds with the OVER at -360 boxing betting odds.
Yuri has limited power and Roman is definitely the heavier puncher in this bout. Foreman will be fighting in front of a home crowd so he should get some home field advantage if this fight goes to the scorecards. It will be up to Roman to impose his will and break down Foreman with bodyshots to score a stoppage. Despite Roman’s recent success I will give the nod to the faster more clever Foreman to win on points with his movement and ring generalship.
