[Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4)

[coin-investor]

I am not so sure about Figueroa after watching him struggle and lose the fight against Stephen Fulton Jr. in November of 2021 and he only had a single fight in 2022. What happened? Depression? All in all it seems like he is starting to lose steam and its all going a bit downhill for him, currently. That really does not spark confidence for me to bet on him.

I don't think it's a struggle, it was a very close match to me, Brandon though throw a lot of punches and Fulton that eat everything and didn't even go down in that fight. And it's frustrating for a volume puncher to see that. He should be rematching Fulton, but Stephen decided to go to Inoue. While he challenges the next biggest puncher in 126 in Magsayo.

On the other side, Magsayo has been winning and fighting year to year. Absolutely no stopping him! Aside from his one recent loss, his track record is way better. Obviously he is going to win this fight with certainty.

He lost though so he is stop on his track, so both are coming from a lost, and so the winner will obviously bounce back with a big win here.

Both are coming from a huge loss and this is what makes this fight so exciting to watch, the winner will move forward to the title while the loser will have a hard climb to get into the rank, nobody wants two successive losses especially if you're a former champion like these two.
Both have the same fate of losing via decision and I don't think these two will trust the judges so they will try to finish the fight via stoppage, both fighters don't want the judges to have a role in who will move forward or who will drop in the ranking.

I believe only Magsayo is coming off a huge loss because if we check the stats of Brandon Figueroa, he had one loss but that was prior to his last fight against Stephen Fulton, who is currently the opponent of Inoue. I believe Magsayo should be the more desperate fighter here, as he lost his belt in his last fight and needs to redeem himself in this fight.

Odds are already out and as expected, Mark Magsayo was listed as the huge underdog here which for me is a good thing because he is a very live underdog and could upset Figueroa come fight night. For sure i'll be betting for Magsayo here as i love betting on the underdogs but i'll still wait for some options if there are juicy markets offered in the next few days but if there are no better options, this ML is a good one for me.

It's too early to bet, but I like the odds. Magsayo is a heavy underdog, but we should not forget that he was once a champion, so he already knows the feeling of being at the top and at the bottom when he experienced his first loss. I'm excited to see how Magsayo will bounce back from a painful loss, so I have no doubt that he'll win this fight. With that said, I'll take the money line odds.

I expected the odds to have a small difference seeing how Magsayo's performance in his previous fights(yes, including the ones with Vargas), I guess I was wrong and Figueroa is a far-known and more skilled fighter than Magsayo. that being said, I am still confident that Magsayo could win this fight.

That's cool, it makes me wanna bet to Magsayo as well. I really like Magsayo to win this one after his current match, I hope they will come up with good strategy to win against Figueroa. I always remember his name when he got an interview in our local media channels people are happy with him and very proud I hope people here will still do, as former champion I believe once a champion will always be a champion. He needs to redeem himself, I want him to KO Figueroa, just kidding.

This is a great news! But it's not that too early for me because the fight night already fast approaching with now less than two weeks and maybe that odds is the biggest it can get especially for us as we're inclined and betting on Magsayo's favor to win the fight.

Thanks for sharing it @bisdak40

Going for the money line as well. This fight should be good.

[Baofeng]

Good that Magsayo is the underdog here, I think for us backers and supporters of Mark for sure we are willing to take that risk and bet on the ML or other odds that is higher. If even if he losses here and our bets, I think this is still going to be a good fight as Mark is going to carry our flag again.

Fight is getting closer, pull our trigger now, hehehe.

Hopefully Magsayo will go all out, this is his ticket to gain his reputation in this division.

As much as I wanted Mark Magsayo to win, looking at their statistics and how Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, I think this will be a hard fight for Magsayo.  Figueroa is also a knock out puncher with higher percentage KO than Magsayo.  Figueroa has height and reach advantage.  This is where I can see the problem, since Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, there is a chance that Figueroa will do the same tactic.  I hope Magsayo has new strategy and technique to bring at the table and be able to work around those disadvantages and win the fight.

Seeing the poll stats on this thread, wondering if some of them will indeed bet on Magsayo as the odds are quite attractive.
Magsayo should finish the fight as early as he can if he wants a sure win on this fight.
If not, if this would go the distance, high likely that Figueroa will win via UD.
Other betting lines are not yet available but maybe a week before the fight they will open more money betting lines.
Magsayo should not rely that he will land a lucky punch on Figueroa because it may not come if Figueroa's defense is good.

You guys are measuring the wrong way. Yes they might be both coming from a RECENT loss but lets look at both of their track records over years. Obviously Figueroa might have been on a bad luck streak just like Magsayo, but Magsayo's history is less flawed by a 1 fight (draw). So how does one even compare the two histories? Its hard to tell but Figueroa has been showing more weakness in the recent past, so my money is on Magsayo.

Just because he recently had some bad luck in his fight against Vargas and has finally gotten 1 loss does not make this an eventuality which will happen again. 24 wins 1 loss. Cmon.

I definitely agree! All boxers have their own failure in this industry and the good thing about them is that they aren't measured by the loss they had but with what they did after the loss they experienced. Both Figueroa and Magsayo came from an unfortunate situation, both boxers didn't want that for sure but they needed it because by that, they will be molded as a much better boxer. But since we are here speculating and putting some bets, my money also goes for Magsayo even if he will be listed as favorite, it will still be Magsayo.

But looking at the statistics, even though Figueroa has one draw, his knockout record is more impressive than Magsayo.  Besides, Figueroa is taller and has a reach advantage, if Figueroa mimic the strategy of Vargas, I believe Magsayo will have a huge problem in this fight.

Why too early to bet? For me, grab the Magsayo odds now while it's hot.

Odds might have the possibility to change in favor of Magsayo so it's a good shot for me to take that @3.1 odds for him. Actually, good to see that odds turned out like that especially for PH fans as while we are supporting our own boxer, we are also having good odds.

I hope Magsayo can pull a win on this one. Don't like how bookies see Magsayo as a heavy underdog here.

[harizen]

Nice odds for Mark Magsayo. I will surely bet on the Moneyline for him.

I also don't see why the gap of odds turned out like that but yes, it seems bookies treat Magsayo as really the heavy underdog. It's not the first time though that a PH boxer is considered a heavy underdog and it's a good chance for Magsayo to erase that analysis about him.

Figueora has a height and reach advantage which can be compare to the advantage of Rey Vargas and that's what Magsayo is not used to fighting with. But with Magsayo's experience dealing with that, I'm sure he already has a plan for how to counter Figueroa, and the right timing is the only concern.

Sparing some bet for this as well, Magsayo already experienced that kind of fighter when he lose to Vargas, adjustments on how to work
on with the same a like opponent might be on process now with his camp.

Just need a lot of hard preparation to win and have that chance to have another shot with the title match,
looking to see him beating Figueroa even he was tag as an underdog here.

As much as I wanted Mark Magsayo to win, looking at their statistics and how Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, I think this will be a hard fight for Magsayo.  Figueroa is also a knock out puncher with higher percentage KO than Magsayo.  Figueroa has height and reach advantage.  This is where I can see the problem, since Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, there is a chance that Figueroa will do the same tactic.  I hope Magsayo has new strategy and technique to bring at the table and be able to work around those disadvantages and win the fight.

I'm sure that Team Magsayo will have a good plan going into this fight as they don't want the outcome in the Vargas fight to be duplicated. Every fighter has its own style that i think Figueroa is different than that of Vargas style that uses his height advantage over his opponents and one good thing about that Vargas fight, Magsayo wasn't dominated and Vargas even went down to the canvass in round nine.

As i said this fight is 50-50 for me and i'm rooting for Magsayo so i hope that Team Magsayo will exploit every weakness that Figueroa had.

BTW, odds for Magsayo ML have dropped to 2.95, i think this will go south further when the fight comes nearer.

It means that money is already pouring in for Magsayo are early as when the odds are listed. Which also means that gamblers are taking advantage of that early odds for ML because it is very attractive.

And as I have advise, better be betting early, hehehe. And even if there is a slip drop on the odds, still high in my opinion. We might be in for a surprise hear if Magsayo will win in this fight as he is 3:1 underdog.

Both fighter promising to us supporters and viewers they will send us a good fight so thinking that now they are train harder and harder in order to fulfill their promises and we all know how figueroa fight inside the ring and we all know he has a good strategy for this fight against magsayo and fur sure magsayo will make this fight much better and I know he can because magsayo has a good attitude like inuoe silent but have a demon inside.

That is if Figueroa can mimic the strategy of Vargas and give a hard time to Magsayo but we all know that Figueroa is more like an open book because he's been showing a lot of weaknesses lately than the latter. He might have a good KO ratio but when it comes to ring IQ, I will still side with Magsayo. While for my betting opinion and option, Magsayo is also a fellow countryman but I will bet on him not just because of that fact alone but because I do believe on his talent and that he will beat Figueroa.
