[Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9)

[Yamifoud]

Although the fight is still very far, but I doubt think the odds are going to change. And if Magsayo shows up looking very sharp and focus then Vargas will be in trouble specially if he underestimate his Filipino opponent.

The way I'm seeing Vargas, he always looked up to his opponent and never underestimated anyone.

Vargas is a good match for the first title defense of Magsayo.

I always said even before that those doubters just have to wait for Magsayo to pulverize Vargas and be recognized more as a champion. I'm seeing a good journey on Magsayo and might become an undisputed champion at the FeatherWeight Division.

Let's see if we will see another KO win by Magsayo. The only way for him to silence the doubters is if he could win by KO, that way he can prove that he has the power to KO anyone even a good challenger. We still have more than 1 month to wait, but I'm already excited watching this fight.

[freedomgo]

Hopefully he would do that, but it's still too early to tell, he has to convince us first and that is by winning this fight without a controversy. A KO would silent people who still have doubted his capacity, so he has to go for that.

Only in boxing fighting mode could prove from the current hard training, I think he will go the extra mile to defend his belt against his challenger Rey, I know that Magsayo has a champion mentality so I'm pretty sure he wins the match for a unanimous victory or even knockout, because his fans really want him to look spectacular in a prestigious boxing match.

Well, if he could find a space to pull a knockout victory then he should do it because as I said, that alone will be the best way to silent the people who doubts his capacity especially now that he needed some wins to continue in the industry and have much more great fight with good pay.

Even if it's a unanimous or split decision would be fine, the thing is he should be hailed as victorious here and before he can have that, he should go for a mile to make sure his win.

We always wanted to see a great fight that will end up in a knock out and hopefully it will be Magsayo who will accomplished it here.

Rey Vargas is a good fighter and others think that he will be the favorite. So imagine if an underdog Magsayo won by a spectacular one punch knock out. Fight fans for sure will remember his name and would gain stature as the premier fighter in this division.

Aside from the fact that we always wanted to see some good entertaining fight with knockout in between rounds or a result, Mark Magsayo definitely needed win this fight and will defend his belt successfully so that his ambitions in the boxing industry to become a known boxer like Donaire, Casimero and Pacquiao will come true.

You're saying that Vargas with 35-0 doesn't have the same or even stronger champion mentality?
Vargas is more experienced, has height advantage and better reach. I think that it's too early to bet on this fight, but once people start coming in you'll see that they are going to be pretty even or betting on Vargas simply by seeing his stats.

Actually it is already good if Magsayo can manage to win this fight against Vargas by a unanimous decision, but yes you are right about that, pulling a knockout victory on the Mexican fighter will indeed silence the people who doubts on his capability and power. I know he cannot be swayed by this types of negative comments, Magsayo have that capabilities and he should do it as he really need to defend his title well.

KO is the most convincing victory, and we all know that Magsayo is capable of doing that. This is his big chance to prove that he deserves the position he is holding now, and since it's his first title defense, he should have a very convincing win, and like we discuss, it should be a KO.

Well, it's hard to just expect a KO, Magsayo has to work harder in order to give that to us. His last KO did not come from a dominant performance because he was losing the fight, and luckily he was able to hit his opponent with a solid punch and knock him out. We have many doubters about him, so he should take that as a chance to inspire himself to get better and better until doubters will realize that Magsayo is a legitimate champion not only on record.

Let's not give him too expectation because Vargas is a good and decent boxer who is going for his title, we know how badly he needs some good win especially this one but a win is a win, no matter what it is. If he can manage to knockout Vargas then it's good, let's just believe in him that he can deal with this.

You got that right, I totally believe that Mark Magsayo can pull that one against Vargas. Although, he still needs to work himself of so that his chances against the latter will eventually grow. This Mexican fighter is not someone we can underestimate as he is more experienced that Magsayo and he also have the height and reach advantage that's why Magsayo needs to work hard for this fight.

Magasayo has a chance to beat vargas in any aspect but all he need to so is practice right now because we all know that vargas is a good and have a athletic skill if you let him release his all punches and then for sure you will be regret after the match. Cause solid punches with a good combination that's the skill of vargas. And in magsayo I don't have any doubt about him if he will trained hard then he can win .

[Japinat]

Magasayo has a chance to beat vargas in any aspect but......

Actually, we don't need to question Magsayo's chance of winning the fight because he is the defending champion and sure he is the favorite to win. We should be looking more at the chances of Vargas as the challenger on beating the champion.

Remember that he is the champion, he is still undefeated, so most bettors would bet on him, now, let's go to the question, is Vargas is big treat to Magsayo, or just an ordinary challenger that can easily be beaten by the champion?

You have a point. Magsayo will be the favorite to win as he is the champion and he's the title holder but the chances of Vargas to win is also somehow big as he have the experience, height and reach advantages but I can say that this fight will be a close bout even if the challenger also have a clean record. Eventually, he will become a stepping stone towards the Filipino boxer's dreams.

When we expect a knockout, then most likely Magsayo will win because that's his specialty as a boxer. However, if the fight will go to distant, there's a possibility that Magsayo will lose because of his boxing style which is not so accurate, he would easily get tired in the end.

I would also like to see a knockout by Magsayo, I think that is the main thing that he will look for, what happens is that if he does not achieve it, I think that his physique will not allow him to withstand so many rounds, and Vargas knows this, in this Now Vargas must have his strategy well established to see how he can deal with Magsayo, it is known that any of them can give a surprise and that in this case Magsayo will also have to work on his resistance because in the worst case if he does not come out with their strategy must be totally adapted to what the fight requires, nothing is written yet, but I think that both boxers must already have their strategy clear.

Only a clean Knockout will impress his critics, sadly. Let's say Magsayo will win this fight against Vargas in a Technical Knock Out but the process is hard and Magsayo struggles, people will still not satisfy with how Magsayo wins. Instead of being happy, they will point out that it should not be the way Magsayo wins.

In Magsayo's last fight when he snatches the title against Gary Russell Jr., people are not satisfied with his win because the latter is injured. They think it will be an easy win for Magsayo but it should be not as Russell will do everything not to give up the title. Instead of giving both boxers good recognition, they end up being looked down.

If Magsayo can find a way to neutralized Vargas physical advantages, I'm seeing a knock out victory. But if Vargas can used his reach and Magsayo having a hard time, this could go on a full 12 rounds and it could be a very hard fight for Mark. So for me this fight will really define Magsayo's career, if he can fight boxers who has huge height, length, and reach advantage and beat him convincingly.

If both fighters doesn't alter their usual style of fighting, it could end with a K.O for either of the two since they are both aggressive with high energy and throws a lot of haymakers.
Though this could be an interesting match up as they both are undefeated.
I can't really tell who has the edge over one another yet as they are both good fighters. At least not until we see them in the 1st to 3rd round.

I hope they'll be both aggressive so we will witness a very exciting fight. It's not going to easy for the the defending champion because Vargas is a great boxer as well, and seeing how Magsayo won his previous fight, I'm not impressed at all so I'm not so confident that he will win against Vargas.

This is already an interesting fight and I'm also expecting a good close bout between these two. Mark Magsayo is the defending champion while Rey Vargas is the challenger, both of them are good that's why this not one of those mismatch bout. They just have to refrain and avoid being a predictable boxer as that could lead to a defeat, anyhow, I'm with Magsayo and I believe that he can defeat a much taller, wider reach and more experienced Vargas.

Magsayo is a defending champion here he must relax, focus and have a good timing if he is in the ring fighting against the veteran challenger Rey Vargas. As a defending champion Magsayo must have a good plan and style of this fight he must trained hard and all of the best study the boxing style and the movement of feet of his opponents.
But in this fight magsayo will be the favorite because he has a strong and a good boxer with in the all time.

I agree! However, he shouldn't take Vargas lightly because the man is also a decent fighter and have a much good experience than him but when it comes to KO capabilities, no doubt Magsayo have that advantage. He should relax, yes but not to rest himself, but in-order to focus more and ensure his victory while training hard. He must believe himself that he can do this because this fight will determine his future in the boxing industry, also, he have coach Freddie Roach to guide him along the way to success.

Magsayo surely already knows that and will never take Vargas lightly. His opponent is even considered a slight favorite. Magsayo 100% understands that he is up against a good and tough challenger. He won't reach his current status right now if on the way, he always looked easy at all of his opponents.

We always want to see a tough fight against our representative. A fight where we can see lots of exchange blows and until the final bell rings, we don't know who will be the winner at the end. That's a good fight to watch instead of a landslide one.
