Figueroa being a volume puncher can put Magsayo into a disadvantage. If Magsayo failed to KO Figueroa I think, the hardworking and volume punch of Figueroa will enable him to win the fight. Magsayo often have problem with his stamina and often time fell short of breath even before the fight end. So if Magsayo failed to fix this problem, for sure Figueroa can dominate the later part of the fight while Magsayo is having trouble keeping up due to stamina issue.
Why it became a disadvantage for Magsayo if Figueroa is a volume puncher? Since when being a volume puncher can put disadvantage on any boxer? It's just a normal scene for a boxers to face a volume puncher. Magsayo already have many fights on his career and it's impossible that only Figueroa is the only volume puncher there.
It is obvious, if a boxer hits more points, and the fight ended in a decision, the one who has raked more point is a winner. And most of the time, the person who worked hard gets the sympathy of judges into winning the fight.
Magsayo already handles even much deadly fighter compare to Figueroa. No disadvantage for him but I see both should be equal. Strategy will be the key.
It is not about how he handle, it is about who get more points. Volume puncher more often gets more points than a boxer who only rely with his 1 punch ko. So when the fight go a distant, a volume puncher also known as the hardworking one often wins the fight.
What I'm saying on that is, do you really think that Magsayo didn't face already a volume puncher in his entire career for you to say that it will become a disadvantage for Magsayo? My question is, how is Figueroa being a volume puncher can give a disadvantage to Magsayo like you are saying that the latter is new on that kind of thing?
It's obvious that Magsayo is already aware of Figueora's way of fighting and it's not a disadvantage to Magsayo that Figueroa is a volume puncher since "
Magsayo alone is a volume puncher too that sometimes even leading to KO".
As I said, strategy will be the key where it will depend on how these both boxer will execute it on a right timing.
Both of you have good points. A volume puncher is not a guarantee to win fights because it also depends on the accuracy, defense, and impact of those punches. Looking at their styles, Magsayo's defense is his offense which means he can be targeted pretty easily by Figueroa but he might become open to Magsayo's counterattacks too. Magsayo's chin is durable and while Figueroa is also battle-tested, he might not be able to take heavy bombs in this new division. The problem with Magsayo is his stamina and once Figueroa can feel that he can take Magsayo's power shots, he will start imposing his brawling style and his deadly body attacks on Magsayo might end the fight or at the very least take out a portion of Magsayo's limited gas.
Magsayo is not a volume puncher. He's got big arms which means they're heavy and it might be the reason why Magsayo's stamina is limited. And when it comes to world-class experience, Figueroa has a huge advantage although they were in the lower division I still believe it matters.
So maybe @Jawhead999 has a very good point of the odds becoming 65/35 in favor of Figueroa. Maybe that's more sarcastic bro @bisdak40 because my odds prediction in this fight is only 55/45 or 60/40 for Figueroa.
