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.

Figueroa and Magsayo are a perfect match because they have a similar boxing record, so yes it's not going to be easy for the latter to win on this fight.

There style is contrasting though, style makes fight as they say, volume puncher in Brandon, but Mark loves to have his power tested someone chin and see if he can knock him out.

Quote from: lienfaye on February 18, 2023, 09:17:30 PM

But certainly Magsayo will do his best to redeem himself. He gained his first title but lost it 6 months later to Vargas thus it's expected now that he will prove himself again to deserve another title. I'm not really his fan but as a kababayan I wish him a goodluck for this upcoming fight.

He needs to, remember that when he got the belt against Russell, the later is injured and others says that he wouldn't have won that belt if not for that injuries. And so when he fought Vargas to defend his belt the first time, he lost, and it doesn't sit well. So he has to make a statement win here and proved that his win against Russell and having that belt is no fluke and he is for real and deserved that belt. So if ever he wins, he need to get it back from Vargas.

So this is very important for his Filipino fans, to show that he is still one of the best 126 lbs. This is another ticket for him and could he his second reign to become a featherweight king.

Agree. PH needs another world champion and Magsayo does have a chance to claim the title he previously holds.

I want to see him having a rematch with Rey Vargas as I want what he says about that fight that he believes he won it and if ever has a chance to face Vargas again, a bit of adjustment is just needed. He really pointed out perfectly what's lacking in him in that fight and that's good that he is aware of that.

Vargas seems also turned into a boastful boxer and thinks he can conquer easily what he wanted. Good thing for me that he was truly dominated by Foster in their last fight and the fight is not even close. After that poor performance by him which is not expected by most boxing fans, I Hope Vargas were being waken up to his dream ad realized that everything is not easy to achieve.

So far the result of the poll, there are many Magsayo believers here the poll is not even close Magsayo has a wide edge against Figueroa, lets's see what the odds will be in sports casinos if Magsayo will be a clear favorite but based on both fighters' records and style of fighting it's going to be a very close fight as both fighters badly need this win to keep their title campaign alive.

Don't rely much on any boxing poll here especially involving a PH boxer because most boxing enthusiasts came from PH. Whether a PH boxer is up against an obvious strong opponent or not, the PH community will always be biased toward their fellow countrymen to show support.

Technical analysis-wise, Brandon Figueroa is a real threat to Magsayo. Even though he doesn't have any experience yet fighting at 126, he has the advantage that Magsayo is not used to fighting. I'm referring to Figueroa's height and reach. Magsayo is not that used to fighting an opponent like that and the first one he fought with that trait is Rey Vargas whom he lose.

Experience-wise though, Magsayo surely knows that he is up against something big. They already know what to do and what's left is how to execute it.

Ph boxers have huge supporters here not just for Filipinos but because we know that like Manny they are always determined to win and always eager to prove themselves in the ring.
Magsayo has losses in his past matches and it will surely be another challenge for him to beat Figueroa who is also a strong opponent. He must grab his chance to make a firm name in the industry. He should know how to counter Figueroa's moves who is also an aggressive fighter.

It's going to be a huge challenge for him, it's a step up, and I would say that this could be more tougher than Rey Vargas fight. In here he has the pressure now to make a statement win and the boxer that he is going to fight is really relentless in his attack and believed that he can beat Magsayo.

So this is very important for his Filipino fans, to show that he is still one of the best 126 lbs. This is another ticket for him and could he his second reign to become a featherweight king.

True, I mean, who does that? Surely both camps are doing their own homework on how to defeat the opposite camps and take note about their habits inside the ring and its weakness.

I have to agree. These boxers are surely aware of what to do once they will now face off with each other in the actual match, as it's obvious, part of the training is how to do their plan strategy in reality. They are not just doing physical training and regular routines and workout within several months of preparation but also spend time watching the performance of their respective opponents to analyze what those adjustments need to do.

Actually, every boxer when stepping up into the ring, does have their plan strategy already. They won't just fight empty-handed, of course.

However, the turning point is how to perfectly able to do that strategy in the actual fight as sometimes, there are scenarios that their opponent will just show a unique strategy that was never shown during the boxer's previous matches.

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

Quote

“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.”

I think it could be the issue that Mark or coach Freddy has a tight deadline with some boxers as well that's why he can't give more time to Magsayo. Not saying that he is the reason why Mark lost, it's not and I would agree that it's better if it will be a Filipino so that there will be no lost in translation.

Marvin has guided Mark before and giving him good advise in his career.

I think it's time for Magsayo to go back to his grassroots training against with his old lead trainer.

I'm not saying this is a bad decision but we know how great Roach having mentored Pacquiao and all other great boxers, he knows what to say and how to say things before and during the fight, I don't know Zamudio, but if he wins the fight against Figueroa it's very likely that he will have Zamudio as a permanent trainer.

I believe the training style of Roach is not compatible with Magsayo, the reason why they look for another trainer. I hope they do the right decision though.

Quote from: coin-investor on February 17, 2023, 07:11:27 PM

I hope Magsayo will be back on the right track Figueroa is just too good every time I watched his style of fighting on Youtube I have doubt if Magsayo can match his skill and aggresiveness.

If Magsayo don't change his way of boxing he will be more likely to lose this match. I think the only possible win Magsayo have this is to knock out his opponent that is if he failed to adjust and adopt on the known fighting style of Santiago.

That's not a bad decision because Marvin is already on the side of Magsayo for a long.

As also the same country as Magsayo, it's good to see a Filipino tandem on the court.

Who knows that if Magsayo just continue to win, we will eventually Marvin becoming a popular trainer and soon can reach the level of Coach Roach.

Magsayo and his camp needed to work with how to look for Figueroa's possible weaknesses, just like what you said. This guy has a strong upper body who can engage anytime and can bring his opponent down.

It's tough for Magsayo since he's stamina is his main problem, if Figueroa managed to break him
the chance that Magsayo will fall short in this fight is possible, in that sense that it's not a new trainer
but an old buds who can contribute with what they can do to counter and survive Figueroa.

Every fighter has a way of learning and studying against their opponent and we all know that before the fight they will go for training and also studying the moves of their opponent and once they already know the movement of the fighter they need to counter it so they will train the counter techniques and for this fight not only magsayo have a counter move but also figueroa has that kind of technique as well. Because both fighter aim is to win the match.

True, I mean, who does that? Surely both camps are doing their own homework on how to defeat the opposite camps and take note about their habits inside the ring and its weakness. That will be a struggle for sure, but that's a trade they have to do because it will boost their chances to win the upcoming fight rather than just doing some random sparring without knowing what they are against in the future. That's just like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Should not be a big deal because Magsayo and Roach already parted ways last year even prior to the negotiation of this fight against Figueroa.

Besides, his new trainer Marvin Zamodio can consider a real deal as he worked with Roach as an assistant trainer for a long time and it involves working with some of the big names in boxing too. His portfolio is already big and I even want to see him, as a fellow Filipino, act as Magsayo's coach.

After all, it's only the head coach that was changed in Magsayo's team and all others remained on their post.

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

Quote

“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.”

I think it could be the issue that Mark or coach Freddy has a tight deadline with some boxers as well that's why he can't give more time to Magsayo. Not saying that he is the reason why Mark lost, it's not and I would agree that it's better if it will be a Filipino so that there will be no lost in translation.

Marvin has guided Mark before and giving him good advise in his career.

I think it's time for Magsayo to go back to his grassroots training against with his old lead trainer.

One thing is certain about this match that it wouldn't be an easy one for either of them and though they both want to win , there will be only one winner.
Magsayo has some advantages over Figueroa despite Figueroa being a great fighter, I know the match will be at the favour of magsayo.
But also on the other hand, I was actually putting some other factors into consideration like the height of magsayo which is less than his opponent but I've been a great fan of magsayo and me supporting him isn't because I'm a fan but rather because I see some great improvement on him and his skills which I know matter alot.

Yes true both fighters are good in terms of fighting also they have thier own techniques how to knock down thier opponent but in this fight I'l prefer for magsayo ad we all know how he fight inside the ring how he handle his opponent , magsayo can control the fight by defense and have a good timing then a power punches will be release. But for sure this is not an easy fight because we all know how figueroa fight he is a tough boxer as well so this upcoming March 4 will be the judgment day .

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.
