Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Japinat]

I agree, it is better for Magsayo to be slick, and quick and must launch a scoring punch rather than a knock-out punch.  This way he can compete against Vargas in scoring.  Besides not putting much of force on the punches can render him more mobile and quick.  He should know when to launch heavy knockout punches and the scoring punches.  Sadly, Magsayo is all brawn and not using his brain during the fight against Vargas.  

For sure Magsayo's camp is already aware of those problems. If ever given a chance again to face Vargas, those problems will surely be addressed. Let's also consider the fact that Magsayo isn't really outscored in the match as he won the one judge.

Surely Magsayo has learned a thing or two about Vargas's strength and his weakness especially recently when Foster revealed how to defeat Vargas, although I'm not sure that Magsayo can use that one because they have a different fighting style and Foster is quite slick, that is why Vargas failed in his attempt. This time, Magsayo should level up his game because he will get embarrassed for sure if he didn't learn something from their first encounter.

today's fights even made me laugh, and they are fights in which there is a big difference in odds, it looks like they will be fights between professional fighters vs amateur fighters, just look at some examples:

Aloys Youmbi - Jiri Krejci

Aloys Youmbi = @1.02

Jiri Krejci = @17.00

Does anyone have the courage to bet on Jiri Krejci?

Mohamed, Adan-Rodriguez Jr, Francisco

Muhammad = @1.02

Rodriguez Jr = @17.00

Does anyone have the courage to bet on Rodriguez Jr?

I wonder how these guys' trainers feel when they see that their athlete isn't even given as someone who has at least a 40% chance of winning the fight, it looks like they don't even train

That will be bigger in a parlay.  Just kidding. On whose card is this? I don't how the odds ended up like this, it's like they are predicting these boxers are sandbags.
I just checked Stake.com and a lot of boxing fights later are heavy underdogs.
Just to make it clear that is not the Mexican Francisco Rodriguez Jr that has 37 wins. This is the one fighting Adan Mohamed.
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/971058 - Francisco Luiz Rodriguez Martin
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/981482 - Adan Mohamed
Upon checking the stats, yes it's just reasonable. Adan never lost yet and has 2 knockouts.

For the other bout, Jiri Krejci has 2 losses and 1 draw and Aloys Youmbi has 2 wins with 1 knockout.
Just bet for the knockouts, maybe it will be more profitable.

He need to adjust and learn from his past mistake, adding more on his stamina so he can last long with good breathing, unlike with that first encounter where he didn't manage to win the fight, but for now better to focus with his upcoming fight and think about Vargas after he succeed with these opportunities to come back.

Let see if he will win and start preparing for the title fight if, in case Vargas will negotiate right after Magsayo wins his fight.

The odds are very attractive indeed, but we don't know who this two fighters are, so for me? I don't have the courage to bet on both of them. Book makers are good as what they are doing at, giving us that odds and so it doesn't make sense unless you personally know this two boxers.

For the trainers, it's the nature of their job, maybe they will try to do their best to train Rodriguez Jr.

But at the end of the day they lose the fight then there's nothing they can do about it.

They will eventually get to that point if ever Magsayo will have a pretty performance and defeat Figueroa. The winner of this fight will determine who will challenge Vargas's belt and if ever he won't negotiate, there is a strong chance that the WBC might participate to get this bout done as I think Vargas is almost due for a mandatory fight. For now, let's just see first how will Magsayo play his card against Figueroa and wait for the outcome.

It looks like magsayo can survive and will fight as best he can and I think there is a chance for him to win the fight because in some news I heard he has prepared everything and is really training quite well in terms of attack defense and stamina or breathing.
That way I'm sure at the meeting of the fight he can fight well enough and beat vargas and can continue the fight to be able to take the championship belt.
This fight is a good opportunity for magsayo so he will prove and give his best to win.

[chaser15]

Let see if he will win and start preparing for the title fight if, in case Vargas will negotiate right after Magsayo wins his fight.

Winning against Brandon Figueroa is Mark Magsayo's ticket for the rematch with Rey Vargas. No need for Vargas to negotiate as it will happen because the winner between Magsayo and Figueroa will be an interim champion and Vargas needs to defend his title.

Let's talk about Magsayo vs Vargas later on once we see the winner of Magsayo vs Figueroa.

Just roughly 3 weeks of waiting and we will see the winner of that match.

Yes, it's inevitable, they might get their rematch if Mark Magsayo will win against a very tough opponent in Brandon Figueroa.

Just roughly 3 weeks of waiting and we will see the winner of that match.

And most likely they are really pushing themselves in the last 2 weeks of training, and then in the last week probably doing light trainings only so that they will not get burn out and just ready and prime for fight night.

I'm looking at our favorite crypto sport bookies and so far, no odds has been released yet.

[harizen]

Another exciting match will come this weekend. The clash between Luis Nery against Azat Hovhannisyan at 122.

They just made their official weigh-in but Azat lacks only a few after weighing 121.6. Should not be a big deal though.

The winner of this match will be the mandatory challenger of who will win against Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue.

Magsayo stated the he expected to win that match but decided to respect the judge's decision. It means Magsayo didn't really being overwhelmed by Vargas' strength. Also new to Magsayo's experience fighting against a long reach and much taller compared to him.

Figueroa has the same specifications as Vargas with height advantage and long reach. Magsayo will use his experienced fighting Vargas in his fight against Figueroa.

One difference though is that Brandon is more of a brawler type of boxer, face first and are not afraid to engage his opponents in the middle of the ring or even in the corner. We have seen him in that Fulton fight wherein he narrowly lost.

And if Magsayo is looking for a rematch with Rey Vargas, and so is Figueroa against Fulton. Same mindset of Mark, he thinks he win and he disagree with the judges score. But he can't do anything for now. So this two are looking for a big win in their clash.

The winner of this match will be the mandatory challenger of who will win against Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue.

I haven't seen any of Azat Hovhannisyan but looking at his record, he is not an easy opponent and he also possess power. Luis Nery is a very good fighter, heavy handed, decent speed and tough chin but he is not invincible anymore in this division. In his fight with Brandon Figueroa, he was winning the early rounds and was hitting Figueroa with his power punches. But once Figueroa was able to figure out his game and was able to take those heavy power punches and deliver his own non-stop pressure, Nery succumbed and was stopped. This is Nery's chance to prove that he can still fight the best in this division or he should move back to his old division.

We will know or conclude if who will be the one that will earn that chance to move to another fight and chase for the belt.

This fight will be very unpredictable for sure. Although I'm obviously rooting for Mark Magsayo, if he performs the same way as he did in his last fight, then I won't be very hopeful that he can win this one. This is a redemption fight for him since he was once an undefeated fighter but suffered losses against Vargas. The way for him to climb back up is to start winning again.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Friends, I might disappoint you by saying that Bivol vs Beterbiev fight is not going to happen in nearest future. The reason is simple - Dmitri Bivol is representing Russia. In November 2022, Mauricio Sulaiman, world boxing council, has removed Russian and Belorussian boxer from ranking and dont allow them to participate. So either the war ends before their potential fight (not likely), or he will make an exception for Bivol (also not likely), or Bivol would have to change his passport. Probably both will have one more fight before they might possibly meet.

I don't think all those options will happen. Damn war and politics affecting our beloved sports. Thanks for clearing that out though, it seems like we forgot there's a war happening out there.
Also according here, he has not approached WBC yet for an exemption.

“Bivol has not approached the WBC (to ask for an exemption)," Sulaiman told reporters and Izquierdazo. “At our last Convention, we were very clear about our position in relation to fighters from Russia and Belarus. And that is the case with Bivol."

Well, I guess we have no choice but to wait for that war to end.

We almost forgot it since it's been a year since these 2 countries are still bombarding with each other. Many Ukrainians are affected, heritages being destroyed and at the same time, sports has been affected on these 2 countries and that includes the boxers from Russia and Belarus which is a bit unfortunate if you are a boxing fan. I just hope that this war will end soon or maybe this year, and I also hope that this war between between 2 countries will not escalate anymore to the point that other countries will join the war.

I guess the best option for Bivol with the 3 options that he shares is to change his passport. I don't expect the WBC to make an exception for him just for the sake of money. Very disappointing, but understandable and it's beyond his control anymore.

Recently I have watched a short video of Beterbiev being interviewed in the airport on a return home. He has said that he is interested in unifying belts, but he has added (figuratively, not saying directly) that "a fight can not happen if one boxer wants to fight, but other dont want to fight". He did not say directly that Bivol refuses, nor he refuses to fight Bivol. But he has made it clear that it is not easy to make this fight. There is something in between. Management, money, politics, tactics. So guess we just need to wait.

Well, that's a great detail, I also think the same, although now the contracts surprise me because of the clause that they always make them sign so that if or when the fights take place, even if the boxer doesn't want to, he has to make use of activating said clause, I I am more of what they think that if the boxer does not want the other to always try to find a way to convince him, now there are many things like social networks, then there is no need for an apparent clause, I imagine that such a clause is to ensure the spectacle, but I don't see it very clearly is my way of seeing it, things are now handled on another level.

I agree, it is better for Magsayo to be slick, and quick and must launch a scoring punch rather than a knock-out punch.  This way he can compete against Vargas in scoring.  Besides not putting much of force on the punches can render him more mobile and quick.  He should know when to launch heavy knockout punches and the scoring punches.  Sadly, Magsayo is all brawn and not using his brain during the fight against Vargas.

This is a redemption fight for him since he was once an undefeated fighter but suffered losses against Vargas. The way for him to climb back up is to start winning again.

I think we all want Magsayo to win in some way, what I think is that if he has trained very hard he has a good chance, otherwise if he is training little without trying very hard he will lose, because even if it is an unpredictable fight to fight after training very hard. he can give very good results if he works hard because it is the only way to have a level.

Another exciting match will come this weekend. The clash between Luis Nery against Azat Hovhannisyan at 122.

They just made their official weigh-in but Azat lacks only a few after weighing 121.6. Should not be a big deal though.

The winner of this match will be the mandatory challenger of who will win against Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue.

Big fight indeed if that's the case.
Here are the odds for the fight which will happen later in Fox Theater Pomona.


Luis Nery is younger at age 28. 33 wins, 25 KOs, and 1 loss.
Azat Hovhannisyan is 34 years old. 21 wins, 17 KOs, and 3 losses.
Nery had more bouts experience even at his young age. Will definitely bet for him on this fight. He is also the favorite to win. I just wish he learned that mistake from the fight against Figueroa where he was defeated with a body shot. Strengthening his body will be a big plus for him from now on.

Yes, it was the first time that Nery was really exposed by someone, a pressure fighter like Figueroa who just come forward and just want to go toe to toe with him. And when his power is not affecting his opponent, he doesn't have any plan B.

And then he gasses out late in the rounds and Figueroa was able to sustain his run.

It's interesting as well that Casimero wanted to fight Nery before but it didn't happen. It could have been crazy fight with two heavy bombers.

He feel in love with his one punch KO during that fight and it didn't work his way. So it's better to have another plan if your punching power is not working, but it's hard for Nery to adjust on that one as he was really confident he can beat Nery and overwhelm him.

So this is a tough fight for him, and I do agree that Azat Hovhannisyan is no easy opponent for him.

But he need to win badly, to get his name and win again the belt.

A younger fighter with more experience I guess this is a solid upside so we'll see. I'm just trying to get more wins right now betting on each possible winner with just a few dollars to throw every fight. Hopefully, accumulate some wins based on the odds and tips from here.  

Wood Leigh vs Lara Mauricio. About this match, which do you choose?
