it is a decision for Magsayo , like what most votes here now and I am sure that with his confidence and advantage he will get this title .
though Figueroa on the other hand is great boxer but this is not for him now , the Filipino Moxer has all the potential to partially take this win.
Just being a biased here that's why I'm in favor to Magsayo. But I consider Figueroa as a threat and not that easy to beat.
Both are eagerly want to become a champion and expects them to show all their best to be the interim champion.
Since Vargas lose recently against Foster, the winner of this match will have another challenge to think as they will have to go against Vargas to fully claimed the belt and being a champion.
Same here, I'm also biased, and honestly, I think Magsayo is not yet a complete fighter based on what I've seen on his last defeat. Well, I'm just hopeful that in this small ample of time that he is preparing, hopefully I'll see a major improvement. He is a KO artist, we know that, but he is not so dominant like other boxers who still remain undefeated now.
Much to my surprised Magsayo will not have Roach as his lead trainer he opted to be with Marvin Zamodio, lets's see in this coming fight if Magsayo made the right decision, Magsayo badly needed to win this fight, but changing your main trainer like Roach will make a huge impact in his performance could be bad or good for this coming fight, it will be interesting what Magsayo will show with Zamudio in his corner.
Magsayo, Promoter Explain Change In Head Trainers From Freddie Roach To Marvin Somodio“But they relate more. They’re Filipino. They speak the same dialect. And he just felt like he needed a change. He needed a new gym. He just needed to try something new. And, you know, like I said, nothing against Freddie, nothing against Wild Card, but sometimes you wanna try something new, let Marvin lead, be the lead trainer. And we’re gonna see the results. I think we’ll see very good results on March 4th.”
It is very interesting, if this boxer decided this, it is because he did not see things as good as they had been working, sometimes we make speculations about boxers, and we do not take into consideration everything that may be happening, this refers to personal problems , in their health problems, problems with the same trainers, all this affects, that's why I personally like to know everything, every detail about a boxer, based on it you can obtain more information to make a bet on more coherent and correct way without getting carried away by emotions.
