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.

Both fighters need this win, especially Magsayo who just lost a split decision against Vargas this is a very even fight both fighters are capable of delivering a knockout and both fighters can go the distance, the fight could go either way because they have the same style and power, of course, I'm in favor of Magsayo, this is going to be a much tougher fight for Magsayo, Figueroa loves to break down his opponent with his body shots so I hope Magsayo is ready for this.
Magsayo's gas tank is questionable though, he might get tire as the rounds go, as compare to Brandon Figueroa who is known to have a deep lungs. So it will be dangerous of Mark if the fight goes to distance as he might lose again on the decision.
So for him, it's better to rely on his power here. Yeah, I know he feel in love with his knock out power. And when it didn't come that's where the problem is. Just like against Vargas. It was a war but at the end, the judges gave it to Vargas because of accuracy.
I’m sure Magsayo team knew exactly what’s their weakness and probably focus on increasing his stamina for his training camp. That weakness only highlighted on the recent match since he have a pretty good run before that split decision match happened. This is same when Manny Pacquiao first lose to Morales, Pacquiao team focus on how to counter Morales aggressiveness by improving Pacquiao footwork to catch up Morales.
Having a explosive punch is a great disadvantage on boxing since everyone can improve their stamina through proper training. I will bet for Magsayo this time since many people just criticize him because of his recent loss neglecting all his previous good run. I really believe on training improvements.

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.

That was quick. Probably both protagonists are already training earlier when the WBC announced mandatories for Vargas-Foster, Fulton-Figueroa II, and Magsayo-Dogboe. Things changed when Fulton opted to remain in his division and defend his WBO and WBC belts to Naoya Inoue. Magsayo then replaced Fulton to challenge Figueroa which makes sense because Dogboe might be difficult to stage since it is handled by a rival promoter Top Rank. I think Dogboe is not interested in a WBC eliminator since he might get a real shot at the vacant WBO belt.

I will give the slight advantage to Magsayo in terms of power, but for the work rate, it's Figueroa here. This is probably like the Ceja war, going back and forth and then Mark will caught Figueroa later with a big left causing him to go down and kiss the canvass and not make it.
Interim belt and probably after this the winner will against fighting Rey Vargas, and if my chance my prediction will happen, it will be a trilogy for Vargas vs Magsayo.

Yes, I agree that this is not an easy fight, Figueroa gave Fulton one hell of a fight and there are fans who says that he was robbed on that win. Nevertheless he has move on already and for added motivation, this is for the vacant WBC featherweight championship.
So I expect a lot of fireworks in this fight. Yes, Figueroa might not have the power, but he is going up in weight at 126 lbs so maybe the added pounds will have some effect on his power punches.

This is going to be very tough for Magsayo as Figueroa is a volume puncher and rugged inside boxer. But it suits Magsayo's style because he is a inside operator as well. The thing for me or the advantage of Mark is that he has the power and could score a knock out victory.
He needs this win, to stay on top, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to get another belt in this division.
So hopefully he can bounce back again.

So, this is now official as PBC has announced that this fight will take place this coming March 4.
For fans of Mark Magsayo, i know that you are eager to watch him rebound on his recent loss to Vargas but for me this is not an easy fight for him.

This isn't an easy fight for Brandon but so is Figueroa, Brandon is not a hard puncher and loves to fight inside and mix it up, if Magsayo is going to win against Brandon he better make sure that he can last a full 12 rounds because Brandon can keep up as we have seen on his match against Fulton.
Brandon throws a lot of punches like Vargas so he should impose himself by connecting big shots, this fight is 50/50 for me but I'm hoping that Magsayo can bring on his best form because Brandon is one tough fighter.

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
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.
