Topic: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio WBO 118lbs Title (May 13) - page 3. (Read 477 times)

For Vincent Astrolabio this fight is not really that hard because he used to fight that kind of style of opponent all the time and also a good exposure for him since Moloney is a worthy opponent to give his all. He needs to put on a show here because this is his chance to shine and might be the best way to train harder to beat Moloney.

Pilipino boxers are always known for upsetting their opponents being an underdog and this one is no exception only in Vincent Astrolabio will gonna work harder in his training because if it's not, he will be the one to lose this fight.

Actually, I didn't know that Vincent Astrolabio is a Filipino until you mentioned it in your comment. Well, at first, I believed that Maloney is the better boxer, but I'm going to be biased here and root for Vincent Astrolabio to win.

Astrolabio may be the underdog, but he is only a slight underdog since, based on the betting odds, he has a 2.08 odds of winning while Moloney has 1.72 odds.

We might have to admit it, Moloney on the record is the better boxer here, but as we can Astrolabio is slowly getting on that level. And he wouldn't be in this position if he hasn't had that inside of him, winning against tougher opponents to put him in the second rank behind Moloney.

Thanks for the odds, so yes, it's just slight advantage for Moloney and for me, still a 50/50 fight and Vincent regardless of the odds could pull another upset and may become a champion, just saying. I might be biased, but I will put my money on Vincent here as he is a good and live underdog.

The odds are actually not that far from each other. So it means, the bookies are considering the skills of Astrolabio.
Because if Moloney is highly considered as the favorite, the odds will be like 1.0x, 1.1 or 1.2x odds.
In any case, we will see the real action in couple of days and see if Astro really has something to offer.
Remember, he is a Filipino boxer, and Filipino boxers are known to be one of the toughest inside the ring.

Even the sports bookies are not that sure whom to root because both boxers got a fair chance in winning the vacant WBO belt but because of the fact that Moloney is much more known and fought the likes of Inoue, they listed him as the favorite. That just shows that Vincent here is not that behind, he just need to present what he is made of because this kind of opportunity may not be with him soon if he will not take advantage of this.

Rooting for the Filipino boxer as well, going to take advantage of the line while he is still the underdog.

This is what you call betting with emotions, hehe... Well, I guess I will also jump on the bandwagon and root for the Filipino to win, just to support the boxer. But what will happen if the Filipino wins and Donaire also wins his respective fight? Then we will have three Filipino champions in the same division: Donaire, Tapales, and Astrolabio.

Donaire and Astrolabio are in bantamweight division, while Tapales is in super bantamweight division.

Even Astrolabio will win in this fight, I don't think Donaire will want to fight with him because like you said both of them are from the same country that make not many people are interested to watch it. Donaire fight against Santiago isn't really clear too because there's no bookie add the fight and there's no upcoming news.

Yes, that's actually true, Moloney is the better boxer here and there's no doubt many gamblers will support him in this fight. It's either Filipinos who will bet for Astrolabio or those who want to take some risk.
I am tailing the bet for Vincent Astrolabio here and there's no regret even if he loses. I want to take my chances for another Filipino to win a title and make them popular again in the world of boxing after the recent rest of no title holders for a year maybe, or more.
Marlon Tapales already stepped up his game, I think Astrolabio will do so after he saw his fellow countryman win and I do believe that can boost his confidence to also do the same.
This will not be an easy fight, Moloney avoided Donaire for a reason, but if Astrolabia keeps on being aggressive, he might snatch it thru UD or SD.
Good luck to us.

Although I'm not very familiar with these boxers, I believe that they have almost equal skills based on the betting odds. The name Moloney rings a bell for me because he was supposed to fight Donaire, but he backed out and chose another opponent instead.

I think Moloney is afraid of Donaire. He was probably looking for an easier way to become a champion, and maybe he thinks that Astrolabio is not as good as Donaire. I'm also interested in watching this fight, which will be in less than a week. Hopefully, someone here will share a free live streaming link.

After losing to Inoue I don't think he is ready to face Donaire who although also lose his match against Inoue is still dangerous, so he goes the easy way by fighting the unpopular but dangerous Astrolabio who can perform better than Donaire because he is coming from winning streak, I'd like to see their face off and weigh in, which is going to happen next week.
There's a big possibility that the 118 lbs will have two champions because this is a known territory of the Filipinos after Inoue conquer all the titles.

Asian in general, because this is where they really excel and compare to bigger weights wherein it was American and Mexicans. So in any case, it's good for Filipinos though, we have Astrolabio, and then Donaire and Gaballo if I'm not mistaken, campaigning in this division and has a chance as well for the belt in one of those divisions.

Moloney shouldn't underestimate Astrolabio here, his records might not be good, but I think Vincent has learn from his early defeats that why he is not on the brink on winning a belt. It's not how you start, it's how you going to finished your career and for me Vincent is just about to his his peak.

Yes, bantamweight has been a comfortable division for the most Filipino boxers except Manny Pacquiao as he managed to go up as far as welterweight division, and still brought his speed and power with him. John Riel Casimero came from this weight class too but it's just that his weight is not suitable anymore to stay, he could've been one of the title chaser if he's still at 118.

Back to the fight, this is okay because Moloney thinks he can conquer this belt easily just because Vincent Astrolabio is not that known and doesn't have good names in his record. But just like what the poll here suggests, Astrolabio got a good chance to win and we might see another upset made by a Filipino boxer.
