Hard to say which one will win this fight, but I think the result would be Figueroa via decision. Figueroa is a KO artist, he often beat many boxers via KO, but Magsayo has an iron chin, so I believe we high likely see the fight end via decision. Figueroa have been defending his title for many times, while Magsayo haven't defend his belt at least for one fight. Both of them are in their prime too, so maybe the fight it's like 65/35 favor on Figueroa.

I suggest you watch Figueroa vs Fulton and see the work rate of Brandon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YfRYixUEj4
But he is moving up to 126 lbs and fighting a natural featherweight, so this fight is really very interesting and hard to see who is going to win. Magsayo is coming off from a big lost against Rey Vargas and the same with Figueroa against Fulton. So they really need to win here to get back on track to become another wold champion.

.Figueroa is a volume puncher and the work rate is amazing but the question now going into this fight against Magsayo is if he could bring that work rate and power to the Featherweight division which is the natural weight of Magsayo, that's what makes this fight 50-50 for me.
As we can see on the last fights of Figueroa, he is a slow starter so i think Magsayo should exploit this weakness and attack early to get the KO or at least filed up points so that if this will go the distance, he could win by decision.
Based on that work rate yes, he is a volume puncher, but he doesn't have the power, no sting in his punch that's why Fulton was able to withstand his attack and even Fulton seems to go down, he was able to hold and then comeback again.
If only that volume will just have that power, maybe he will be a great boxer.
As compare to Magsayo, not that much volume, decent work rate but he has the power to send Figueroa into the canvass in this fight.
Magsayo suffered his first defeat on his previous fight, so this is a very important fight for him. He needs to ensure a win here and it will only happen if he has improved from his past performance which he lacks stamina. I hope Magsayo's career will still grow, it's just sad seeing a champion losing his career due to successive losses.
I look at the scores and it was really a very close fight, Magsayo won on one of the judges card. So I think he can still fight at high level although the lost could be big for him mentally. But let's see, he has been given another change to have a crack of the belt if he is going to win this one.
For sure his team are aware of it and wanted to improve from his past performance. Although I think this is much easier fight for him as compare to Vargas. So he better be 100% and win with a bang, if he could KO Figueroa much better of his career.

This is going to be a good match as they are #2 and #3 overall ranking for featherweight division and both are #1 in their country both is a great fighter and honestly I am not sure win who's gonna win in this match. Unfortunately I can't see where I can place bets to this match as they are not available on the market, maybe it will be available when the match is near though I am curious what's the odd of each fighter. Maybe you could add a gambling site where we can place bet?
None of us can assure whos gonna win because this fight is truly unpredictable , they are both have the potential to take the win in this fight.though I wanna support Magsayo here yet I don't wanna put bet completely as I am still undecided whom will be my bet.
Figueroa is also one of the toughest in this division so who ever win will surely keep the track from round one till the end.

Figueroa has so far held only one fight in the featherweight weight category in which he really won by TKO, but he has no experience in this category, which cannot be said about Magsayo who owned the WBC title there, however, bookmakers, and tau AI give preliminary odds in favor of Figueroa, I don't think that victory for him will be easy. Magsayo after losing to Vargas, I think he is very motivated for this fight.
Hopefully that will be the case for Magsayo, he needs to be motivated and at least be in the hunt for the belt he lost to Vargas. No doubt that he is a good boxer, might not be the next Manny Pacquiao from the Philippines, but he has the talent to match up against the champion in the featherweight class. As you have said, he once held this belt when he bet Russell. So that should be in his mind that he is the champion and that he can bet Figueroa in this fight. Not sure about the AI prediction though, I wouldn't rely on that one.

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.
On the other hand, if Figueroa keeps coming into Magsayo and somewhat Magsayo time him perfectly, like in the Ceja fight, then he will definitely be scoring a knockout, and doesn't need to go to the judges. So I guess it depends on Magsayo, he might control the fight in the beginning, if he could do that, the better for him.

We will see that once the fight is already taking place, I'm assuming that after that lost from Vargas, Magsayo and his camp will try to improve that concern. He has been exposed after that fight.
Now he needed to bring his name back on top. Winning this fight is very important for both fighters
so expect them to really exceed from their limits and really to do everything to win.

Brandon Figueroa seems much used to fighting on 122 lbs while Magsayo is already at 126 lbs for a long and even got a chance to be a champion.
Mark Magsayo shouldn't have a problem dealing with Figueroa as he's in his comfort weight. Figueroa on the other hand is a visitor.
Aside from that, Magsayo is surely hungry again to have a world title again. Unfortunately though that he was outclassed by Rey Vargas.

I don't know anything about Figueroa but I've seen Magsayo fight. Magsayo is a good fighter(despite his recent loss) but still needs a lot of improvement if he plans to dominate during his career. anyway, I'll be biased here and vote for Magsayo to win by decision, it'll be an interesting match to see.

This is one of those very difficult matches to predict and most times it because of their rankings and both of them are really great fighters and they are both raked as number one in their various countries and I'm so sure that it wouldn't be an easy fight at all.
I really don't think it will be a great fight for megsayo but rather a very difficult one and I'm sure that at his level in his career I'm sure a defeat at this point wouldn't be a nice one for him as it might seem his not ready for the tittle awaiting him and it might be withhold his promotion.

I want Magsayo to win but as always, I am not convinced by his skills and stamina. Magsayo is just like Deontay Wilder, low-skilled and relied on their power punches to land hoping their opponents can't take it. So just like when I voted for Vargas earlier to beat Magsayo, I think Figueroa stops Magsayo this time. This fight might be a war if Figueroa decides to brawl. Although Magsayo is probably the bigger guy and Brandon might not be able to take heavy punches in his new division. May the best man win.
Lol, that's a bit sarcastic bro but i definitely agree with the bolded text above. Magsayo has always had problems with his stamina, have observed that when he was still with the defunct ALA stable but in fairness to him, he has improved a little with this department but he can't be with the big boys if he always gassed out in the championship rounds.
Just realized that Figueroa and Magsayo have a common opponent in Ceja which if we gauge that one, Figueroa has the advantage as he almost won on that one while Magsayo won by KO but Ceja was leading in the score card which makes me think that it was just a lucky punch that made him won that match.
Being a compatriot of Magsayo i hope that he could land those heavy blows to do some damage to Figueroa and won by knockout as this is the only way for him to win and become a two time world champion.
And maybe we can say that Magsayo got lucky on the Ceja fight? when he caught Ceja late with that and knocking him out? yeah, we can call it lucky punch. But against Figueroa, Magsayo might not get lucky because Figueroa is a different fighter.
He should go for that knockout here, or at least damage Figueroa early and then go for the knockout later.
Magsayo can't allow Figueroa dictate the tempo of the fight, he should be one dominating from the start.
magsayo should not really wait for the right timing to punch the opponent. as much as possible, ko figueroa in the early rounds. if this will go the distance, figueroa might win by UD or TKO. some boxing analysts are already favouring figueroa on this match. but who knows, magsayo can pull it off. should aim for the early round KO though.

Yeah, this is a 50-50 fight where it's hard to predict whose gonna win the fight but for sure Filipinos will be happy as their very own Mark Magsayo is back in the ring to take a chance to grab that WBC belt once again. They maybe have a contrasting style as Magsayo is known to be a KO artist while Figueroa is a volume puncher so this is another acid test for the Filipino slugger.
I am curious what's the odd of each fighter. Maybe you could add a gambling site where we can place bet?
I've browsed some sportbookies and unfortunately they have not yet placed any odds for this fight but rest assured that they will cover this one as the fight is approaching near.
Right, still 50/50 fight, and maybe if Figueroa will be the favorite, it's going to be small that we can say that it's going to be close. Brandon Figueroa is known to be a slow starter, just like in the Fulton fight. And it allowed Fulton to get some scores in the judges early and take the lead. But then he started to get hot in the middle going into full 12 rounds.
So this might be the biggest chance of Mark Magsayo, to used his power to get early and maybe look for the knockout. He needs a statement win here to be relevant in this division. So this is going to be exciting and it could be fight of the year candidate if it goes to the distance.

Even though Mark Magsayo has the power to knock out Figueroa, he still has a lot to do concerning his training because if he can't execute those power punches, it won't be his secret weapon. This guy is good and really needs to work harder to improve because he has the potential to become a phenomenal champion if only he can get straight wins via K.O. But he always gets nervous and loses focus when the battle begins, giving his opponents some chances to score against him and eventually win against him as he does in his last fight. He better learn to finish his opponent until the judges no longer have doubt in their decisions.
Just the problem with fighters who just rely on their power, it that failed, they don't have a plan B just like what Magsayo. Figueroa has a solid chin, and he really moves a lot, and if I'm not mistaken, could be a bit taller which is a weakness of Magsayo as well as he had difficulty fighting against boxers that is taller than him. And if it goes to the judges score card, I doubt that Magsayo can also get the decision. So this fight is all or nothing for him at this stage of his career, a lost will put his career on a standstill as he will not to proved himself ready for title shots again.
