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

[Baofeng]

So that's how quickly the odds are changing in this fight. And I'm thinking there could be changes here, maybe Magsayo will become the favorite after all as money are going to pour on his side.

But then again, let's look for more betting options as others suggested, specially Magssayo by KO or what rounds is he going to get the KO.

Update: Magsayo - 1.90, Vargas - 1.80

As I expected, Mark is going to be the underdog here, several pages ago, there was argument as to why Mark will be the underdog. So I guess crypto sports bookies knows a thing on two on this fighter and put Vargas slight favorite.

But I guess this is a good chance for us to bet with Mark since we are going to support him. Still very good and attractive odds in my opinion.

He's not really an underdog if we come to think of it. They are equally talented and strong, both undefeated and had above 60% KO percentage. In fact some fiat based bookies have Magsayo as the favourite.
So, in this case, betting on Magsayo on some of the crypto sports bookies is a good option as the odds listed him at 1.94. That's quite a good profit if you'd ask me.

Well someone has to be the favorite in this fight, so right now it's Vargas. However, Magsayo seems to be inching closer and yeah, wouldn't be surprised if the tide will turn and a day before the fight night, he might be the favorite.

I agree, betting on Mark at money line is already a good thing to do, however, we should be very fast because as I have said, the odds are no long at the 2.x, it's slowly fading to 1.9x.1.8x.

Being overconfident is good for me as long as the boxer follows properly the strategy that they worked hard for and does not treat the fight as an easy match.

I do hope its fruit is positive, I agree that it can give a boxer a boost in their performance but often times boxer who shows overconfidence often messed up causing costly mistakes.  I am not a pessimist here just talking about the worst possible scenario of being overconfident, especially in a boxing match.  And looking at Magsayo's opponent, I believe Vargas has the ability to take advantage of an opponent's mistake.

That's why I said as long as that boxer follows their respective strategy, then being overconfident is just fine. Being overconfident is not that bad since it means regardless of their opponent's strengths and advantages, they are confident that they can match those. Of course, they know there might be some flaws but that what's they worked for during their training.

I'd rather see an overconfident boxer that acts responsibly instead of being too much on a defensive phase and only throwing a few blows if there's a chance. Magsayo as a champion already knows what to do. It doesn't mean he is overconfident too much, he will likely mess up.

This is Magsayo's first title defense after all that's why I'm seeing him as a more pumped and hyped here compared to the challenger.

We have to trust Magsayo to win here, although he is slightly underdog I think he can get this win. It's a very tough challenge but as long as he follow the game plan and always believe he can KO his opponent, sure he will be successful in defending his belt.

Everyone is excited here, may I know if you guys know how to watch this fight online?

I trust him now because I like the fact that he is listed as an underdog in this fight, looks like a little insult on him since he is supposed to be the favorite as a champion. Well, looks like bookies have listened to bettors or some bettors are pounding Magsayo that's why there are some odds movement.

Odds now are as follows.

magsayo 1.88
Vargas 1.83.

I guess we have to take Magsayo now if we still want to get the best odds. I don't see it going back to 2.00, instead, I think it will go down below 1.80 as the fight is approaching. First title defense, I think we should support him on this big fight, the Filipino community is behind him and believe that he will win.

Vargas 1.83.

That was the odds probably many see Vargas will win the game.  Since Vargas's performance in his previous weight class is exemplary having a record of 35 - 0 with 22 KO in his arsenal. Having more fight experience than Magsayo who has 24 - 0 with 16 KO, many sports fan thinks that Vargas has the upper hand between the two boxers.  Regardless, this is a test for Magsayo and I also hope that he will prove himself to those who doubt him being the champion.

Exactly, it's a big fight for Magsayo but if he could prove by winning the fight convincingly, people will not doubt him anymore. He is a champion for a reason, though there are fights that we don't fully believe he won but he is the champion now so we have to respect him. I hope Magsayo would really give a good fight and finish Vargas early in this fight.

Hah, that was a huge pouring of money on Magsayo's side, as he cut the odds and they are almost even right now (I just checked it, didn't change).

So I guess the perfect time to bet on ML when it was 2.x is gone already and yeah, it won't back down and no where we gonna see that odds again for Magsayo. So this is a big fight and rightfully that the odds are going to be close.

That's correct but you can still get a decent odds now if you are eligible already of a price boost from sportsbet.

Odds with price boost is 1.88 only but with price boost it will increase to 1.97.

Well we didn't know how fast that odds are going to swing on favor of Mark. Sometime ago, we keep on waiting for the odds to be listed and then Vargas was the initial favorite. But like in the last 2-3 days, the odds are closing and as you have describe it, money bettors are into Mark. And I doubt that it is only Filipinos, maybe there are even a lot of boxing bettors on him right now because they know that he has the power to change the outcome of the fight with that one punch like in the Ceja fight.

I like to see this one to know if Magsayo could really take on big challenges.

it's his first division that he won as a champion, so if he wants to be a pound for pound boxer, he needs to defend by winning every fight before thinking of going up. Too much pressure on this young fell as there are plenty of boxing enthusiast that still not convince by his real potential, so it's time for him to silence these people by winning this fight.

So that's how quickly the odds are changing in this fight. And I'm thinking there could be changes here, maybe Magsayo will become the favorite after all as money are going to pour on his side.

But then again, let's look for more betting options as others suggested, specially Magssayo by KO or what rounds is he going to get the KO.

Update: Magsayo - 1.90, Vargas - 1.80

As I have predicted, Mark is now the favorite in this fight,

from Stake.com



So again, I'm not surprised, smart money should be on the side of Magsayo here. And I think he will retain his favorite status leading up to the fight night. I doubt that there will be changes, on the contrary, Mark could end up in the 1.7x odd as the favorite and then Vargas 1.9x underdog.

Wow, looks like bettors are really betting on one side only, you are not surprised but I'm a bit surprised, LOL. I didn't expect that he will be the favorite, I only believe that the will be a slight underdog but we have to accept these odds now and just bet on what we think will be favorable for us.

[Botnake]

More options will be up in the coming days and I'm interested in how much they put on "Magsayo via Knockout" because this fight could end via KO because both love to fight toe to toe.

This is what I'm waiting for, a KO win by Magsayo but I have to guess on what round because that has very attractive odds by just betting on Magsayo to win by KO. I think the odds on him winning by KO is not that much, maybe lower than 3.00 as his chance of winning by KO is higher than by decision.

Don't worry, odds will be available soon, the fight is less than 2 weeks already, so maybe a week before the fight, the full odds will be listed in our favorites bookies. For now, we can only bet on the ML lines, you can get it now but of course you can still add more once the full market is up.

Yes, it seems that it's a one side, other might be surprised like you, but for those who have followed Mark, as he is the champion, he could really be the favorite here. Maybe at the start, it was really the physical attributes of Vargas that carry him. But eventually boxers will bet on the fighter that has knock out power and that is Magsayo and hopefully he can live up to that hype.

It used to be Magsayo as the underdog, now it is Vargas.  Looks like there they observed some huge development in Magsayo's camp.  Or probably they are influenced by the last fight of Inoue where the older fighter got floored in a very early round.  So I think, many got the idea that it is possible for the younger and stronger fighter Magsayo to do the same thing.

Or maybe also bookies being moved by how the fans start throwing their money, though I also see your point, Magsayo is now the favorite in some slight difference and a good catch still for late bettors, @ 1.86 or can be more by using the boost is still a better odd for this pinoy champ he will need to defend his title and continue to stay being a champ.

While the fight is nearing, we will expect for more available options, not just the actual odds between the two but additional ways of betting for this upcoming fight.

I hope Magsayo would really give a good fight and finish Vargas early in this fight.

Mark Magsayo should just get used to it because there will be always some people who will doubt his skills especially now that he's still trying to make a legacy to his name in this industry. He should just focus himself with his trainings to defeat Vargas with an impressive ending and a knockout will definitely shut those who doubts at him, maybe not for good but at least he will show his talent once again.
