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

[Baofeng]

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.

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.

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.

When it comes to betting, I will also go with Magsayo not because I think he is a better boxer but because he is a fellow countryman, and I do that to show my support

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.

Both have different styles and so I doubt that Brandon will mimic the style of Rey Vargas just to win. He has his own way or strategizing in this fight and fight Magsayo the way he knows it.

But for sure it will be his volume punching again, nothing will change a lot here, that's already what we call bread and butter, and that style has been working for him for many years except against Fulton who took all his best shots and received some as well.

Well, in every fight, a fighter could up their game depending on their drive which is more likely from their previous fights.But if we would base on stats, this could be a toe-to-tose or a close match even if they have different fighting styles. The heartbreaker is a heavy puncher and is more agressive but Magnifico has the speed over Figuerroa. This would be interesting for sure because they are fighting for a vacant belt. Both are eager for the spotlight given that their previous fights didn't turn out to be as what they have expected. Hard to guess to be honest but for this fight I guess edge is on The heartbreaker. Outcome probably is by unanimous decision.

It we look at the record though, and basing on their ko % it should be Figueroa that is considered a heavy puncher,

Figueroa - KOs    72%
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/718399

Magsayo - KOs    64%
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/653034

Speed in boxing is relative though, you can be fast, but if you are not going to hit a target then that speed is nothing. Or Magsayo could be fast in his last fight, but when he faces another fast boxer, then again, his advantages becomes 0.

Same thoughts. The possible turning point of this match will depend on how good the execution of their respective strategy is.

Even bookies provide a distant gap on their odds, with Figueroa as a heavy favorite, and Magsayo, on the other hand, is the underdog, I don't really think that way even for let's say not being biased for the PH boxer.

Regardless of everything, the result will just be known on the actual date of this fight. Let's see how this fight will go.

That seems like a very tiny difference which also does not account for more complex probabilistic data inputs such as the opponents who they were fighting against. It seems possible to me that Figueroa might not have been getting tougher opponents who do not easily go down unlike the guys that Magsayo fought in his past matches.

That is only one example of why the KO percentage could deviate. If we were to fix for all the correct variables, perhaps even hidden and unknown variables, then we might see both of them having a very similiar KO percentage number.

Sure Figueroa could be considered a heavy puncher. But so is Magsayo.

They will just pick a thing or two from that fight that they think that could help Figueroa's skills to enhance his chances towards Magsayo. Let's just expect about it already as Vargas is not the same with Figueroa, so it's given that they will have a different kind of approach.

Some versatile boxers can do the same strategy when they find their opponent is weak.  In this case, Vargas had exposed Magsayo's weaknesses, so there is a possibility that the camp of Figueroa will implement the same strategy.  It would be lucky for Magsayo if Figueroa will fight him toe-to-toe and do not take advantage of the reach advantage.

On the other hand, I believe Magsayo had studied Figueroa's fighting style and strategies, I hope his camp can find the weakness of the opponent and devise a plan to exploit it.

Might be, Vargas strategy though is to use his length against Magsayo by using a lot of jabs, and Brandon is not known to jab, he is a very definition of brawler, even in the first rounds of the fight against Fulton, he uses his aggressiveness and try to wear out Fulton. But Stephen was intelligent enough to grab him the moment he goes inside. So I'm seeing the same Figueroa in this fight, same strategy, he will try to wear you down with his volume punching. So it's the sheer volume of Figueroa. But to win against a volume puncher, Magsayo should be accurate enough, even if he has less output, if he is accurate then he has a good chance to win or maybe score a knock down in the later rounds.

I don't think that Figueroa will just literally use his reach advantage but rather just go with the flow with his usual strategy.

In other words, using his reach advantage while being in toe-to-toe fight mode and not treating Magsayo as having a disadvantage. As others say, he's a volume puncher and that means aggressive. Not also considered lucky for Magsayo if the fight goes toe-to-toe as regardless, Figueroa also wants that.

The effectiveness of their respective strategies will now depend on how they will perfectly time it in the actual fight.

I have to agree on what you say but surely Magsayo also has a game plan how to counter Figueroa.

Having a height and reach advantage for Figueroa, Mark Magsayo will treat it the same as how he fights Vargas in their previous meeting.

Since Vargas is the only boxer on Magsayo's portfolio to have such advantages, he will used that reference how to counter Figueroa.

Yeah, maybe Brandon study that fight and how Vargas beat Magsayo. But they have contrasting style and he is not known as a jabber. So I believed Figueroa will still fight his own and what he is comfortable with, go with the flow of the fight like throwing a lot per round.

On the side of Magsayo, he should be preparing for a fighter that is going to put his foot on the gas pedal. He will not not stop chasing Magsayo unless Mark becomes the aggressor and perfectly time Brandon coming in with a perfect straight and score a knock down or a knock out.

[lienfaye]

Figueroa's trainer might got another way how to utilize the skill that he have because they both know that they cannot follow everything that Vargas has done to Magsayo when they first clashed with each other. They will just pick a thing or two from that fight that they think that could help Figueroa's skills to enhance his chances towards Magsayo. Let's just expect about it already as Vargas is not the same with Figueroa, so it's given that they will have a different kind of approach.

Both camp probably watched how these boxers fight and see if what they can do to improve their skills for their own advantage. It's possible that Figueroa's trainer might use how Vargas beat and dominate Magsayo knowing the weakness of the latter is already exposed.

On the other side, Magsayo needs to improve his stamina and timing on when to give an accurate punch. He needs a strategy to take down Figueroa, otherwise he can't bounce back from the previous loss.

I think Magsayo will train harder so he won't lose in the same way again. Figueroa needs to develop more strategies to avoid being predictable since Magsayo is a powerful puncher and a one-hit knockout kind of boxer. Although I admit that he doesn't have the stamina of a real warrior, it can be improved of course.

We should not talk about how Figueroa will win because he is expected to win based on the betting odds. For those who have no idea about the betting odds of this fight, you can check online. Figueroa is the heavy favorite. So, I'm more concerned about how Magsayo will be able to get back on his usual winning path. In his last fight, he didn't look convincing enough. In order to attract the attention of the media, he needs to win via knockout.

Stamina was always been a problem for Mark Magsayo, I even thought that maybe it was because they don't have a good place where to jog as I have always seen them jogging on the second Mactan bridge in Cebu when he was still with the ALA stable but that problem still exist even if he was there in the US, though there is a little improvement but still it is noticeable.

I just hope that Mark will exploit Figueroa's slow start and pile some points in the early rounds so that he will not panic in the championship rounds knowing that he is ahead in the scorecards and not look for that one punch knockout.

No movement is the odds so far though it is still the ML being offered on my favorite bookies.

Of course, he really needs this one here, he needs to gain back his honor and confidence because losing is just part of the game, and to bounce back what he needs to aim. Magsayo was a knockout artist in his early career though he was only fighting decent boxers back then, he was able to overcome them until he was given a fight in America where he seems not to have the same confidence he has before. Therefore, he really needs to strive and get back on his track because right now there are only a few Filipino boxers left to be representative in boxing.

[harizen]

he was able to overcome them until he was given a fight in America where he seems not to have the same confidence he has before.

If you are referring to the fight against Rey Vargas, it's not that Mark Magsayo seems to lose his confidence in that fight. It's just that Vargas is truly different from those foes that Magsayo face before. The notable difference is Vargas has the height and reach advantage and in general, Magsayo is not that used for fighting against that trait. But impressively, Magsayo is still able to win on 1 judge and loses by a split decision.

Against Figueroa, Magsayo will face again an opponent with a height and reach advantage. I do hope that his fight against Vargas will be a good reference on how to make a counter-strategy against those boxers with that kinds of physical traits and advantages.

I have to agree with you regarding the stamina concerns for Magsayo.

But since changing head trainer in October last year, I'm sure his camp already working out for a long on how to improve Magsayo's stamina.

After all, it's not that he's really getting totally exhausted the entire fight but rather just a noticeably lacking strength of his punches. Magsayo was able to survive the 12-round fight against Rey Vargas and just needs a good adjustment on how to make his stamina last longer to be able to keep also his strength last long.

He manages to survive but the quality of his punches in the last few rounds dictates that he just trying to survive and not to fall into a KO, hopefully with enough preparations, they will figure it out not to fall short.

This fight is an opportunity to make a good comeback, so Magsayo really needs to win this fight to have
that chance again in chasing the title/belt. Looking forward to see him doing all-in now since there are many
good and tough competitors from his current division.

This fight is an opportunity to make a good comeback, so Magsayo really needs to win this fight to have
that chance again in chasing the title/belt. Looking forward to see him doing all-in now since there are many
good and tough competitors from his current division.

It's a tough comeback for him because his opponent is highly favored. But we can trust Magsayo to work his way and try to find a way to win. The best victory he can give us is a knockout because fans are starting to doubt whether he is really the real deal or just lucky to have won a championship in the past.
