^^ That's the odds that my favorite bookies released just recently and it is somewhat interesting because the way i see it, it's almost even though Magsayo is the slight underdog but it is not what i expected because in my mind the odds for Magsayo would be at least @3 but i'm still happy with that.

1.71 for Vargas, 2.02 for Magsayo latest odds.

Nah, they are not willing to give Magsayo that 3.x odds that we are expecting, Lol. Because sport bookies knows that Magsayo is a live underdog here and definitely has the tools to beat Vargas with his power alone. But still good or us, double our money right now if we are going to bet this early as the odds might slid a bit and we might see like 1.89 odds as we get closer to the fight date.
I'm surprised with the odds, I think I might take that this early as we never know if that will move in favor of Magsayo. I will also wait for the full market of odds, the KO rounds prediction is more attractive than the ML odds.

The odds for a knockout might be better, Magsayo as underdog and then will win by KO, that will be huge. Nevertheless I will agree that they fight is closer than it appears. Magsayo is a great champion no doubt, he just need to win big here. I'm seeing that a KO win by him will be in the range of 3-4x odds. Still full week ahead of us, we will the full market of odds as the fight is near.

I have check the odds now and looks like it has changed a bit, we cannot get +100 for Magsayo.

here's the updated odds from sportsbet.

Magsayo 1.94
Vargas 1.77

The full odds will be available a week before the fight, most likely.

As I expected, Mark is going to be the underdog here, several pages ago, there was argument as to why Mark will be the underdog. So I guess crypto sports bookies knows a thing on two on this fighter and put Vargas slight favorite.

But I guess this is a good chance for us to bet with Mark since we are going to support him. Still very good and attractive odds in my opinion.

He's not really an underdog if we come to think of it. They are equally talented and strong, both undefeated and had above 60% KO percentage. In fact some fiat based bookies have Magsayo as the favourite.
So, in this case, betting on Magsayo on some of the crypto sports bookies is a good option as the odds listed him at 1.94. That's quite a good profit if you'd ask me.

^^ If bookies can't agree on the odds as to who is the favorite or not, then it's going to be a close fight.
There's no way that will happen, if bookies does not uniform their odds, then it's a day that arbitrage bettors will rejoice as they will definitely take advantage on that easy money.

But for sure as there are more Filipinos watching boxing from this community, of course they wanted Magsayo to be the underdog so that they will get their money's worth of Magsayo will win. For now, it seems that only the ML is listed, but yeah, why not take advantage of Mark as 2.x odds. Regardless of the venue though, I think this will be a good fight.

Here is a compilation of betting odds from proboxingodds.com.

Two books slightly favored Rey Vargas while the other book slightly favored the defending champion Magsayo.

Technically Rey Vargas is the better boxer although he is moving up in weight. He was a long time champion, undefeated, more experienced in world level fights and more stamina since he is used to fight in full 12 rounds. Mark Magsayo's advantage is his power, strength and he's got the heart.

And this fight is going to be in Alamodome, he might repeat what Manny did here years ago when he just stormed and beat the hell out of Marco Antonio Barrera. Will history repeats itself?
This fight is in Alamodome which means the audience will have a lot of Mexican and Mexican-American fans cheering probably for Vargas. And Manny Pacquiao was cheated in Alamodome. Barrera was down in a legit punch but was ruled a slip. Pacquiao slipped and was ruled a knock down. And controversial referee Laurence Cole is still alive and kicking, he might even get the nod to referee this fight.   

I do hope Mark Magsayo wins because he is the more exciting fighter. Devin Haney indirectly calling him a bum should further motivate him and give him the hunger to win championships in multiple divisions. And who knows if the two will fight down the road.

Mark though is not a huge underdog in this fight and this could still be considered 50/50. So this might turn out a difficult fight for him, nevertheless we have faith that the can get over Vargas as one of his toughest foe to date.

In terms of strength, I really believe in Magsayo and indeed everyone must be confident so that there can be no burden in fighting, but on the other hand, as before, you can be confident but not too confident.
I am also in Magsayo's side for now but that doesn't mean we have to underestimate Vargas in this case because we all know that Vargas' power is also quite difficult to beat.
Nah, he cannot do that, instead, he needs to see Vargas as a tough opponent so he will train harder. The chance that this fight will end in a KO by Magsayo is huge, but he has to improve his movement so he will not gassed out, his head movement and quickness has to be present as he cannot frustrate himself if he cannot hit Vargas with a clean shots, that's why patience is a must.
In terms of training, I don't have too much doubt about Mark because sometimes if we look at the last few years, fighters from the Philippines have always prioritized things like this and for Magsayo who is now a champion in terms of status, it's clear he will try his best to maintain his fitness. .
From what I can see he is a boxer who has that and I'm sure he will be able to win if he has to be patient and not get carried away.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
I am hoping to see that as he was really criticized for not beating Russell easily despite the champion literally fighting with one hand only. He needs to silence the critics by beating Vargas which is healthy and a good challenger for him. I'm excited for this fight guys as you are, so let's hope that our champion will be able to defend his title in this fight.

The dude is obviously improving and hopes he won't be pressured in this upcoming fight so far he used his experience fighting in the US very well and he is gaining some more popular than before. nevertheless, he is expected to show some more moves and skills in this fight and more fans are calling for a knockout score to further stretch his confidence to fight more strong boxers in their weight division. Heavy punchers are popular in that division and to be one of them is a huge success and a chance to become one of the legends in boxing history.

Yes, he is improved. He won't climb the rankings if he's not improving. He won't get a chance for a title fight if he's not improving. And now that he finally gets the Championship title, it's clear that he really improved in his entire career in boxing.

He will be able to successfully defend this title. That's what I'm seeing here. We are witnessing another great Filipino boxer in the making that will dominate the Featherweight division and hope he can build a good stand here and move up weight soon.


And he should get used to it because it's quite normal since then that you're getting criticized no matter how good or bad your performance, people will still find a way to criticize. He should just focus himself on the prize and defeat Vargas with a good result as this is his 1st title defense. Vargas won't be a hindrance on his success.

I have been seeing some of the things that the Magsayo fans have said and they are not encouraging at all for Vargas, I don't know, sometimes this confidence is good to make the corresponding bets, I know that Vargas is not in his best form right now , but he can put up a good fight,

Yes, Vargas can bring a good and entertaining fight and to the point that he can beat the champ from this division he has that capabilities
to work more on a good combination and try harder to knock out Magsayo, but it can only be concluded when they are already inside the ring and how they will perform the attacks.

Quote
however, I know that Magsayo is a boxer who does not trust or underestimate the abilities of his rivals and this is something very worthy of a good boxer and I admire him for that, sometimes Vargas' attitudes It makes one think that he still lacks, not only in boxing but in everything, it could also be said that Magsayo, in my personal opinion, I see him as much more professional.


I also see that Magsayo is a kind of fighter who always thinks ahead and not to disregard his opponent's capabilities. He always treats the fight as a good challenge and keeps improving and enhancing his skills to be prepared in his upcoming fights.

Well in an eventual fight against Magsayo and Vargas do you think Vargas will have the upper hand?

Based on experience, Rey Vargas has the upper hand. But of course, experience should not just be the basis. Magsayo as a champion here, I'm expecting he has the upper hand against Vargas. He won't be a champion for nothing. There's also a thing in the mind of any champion that boost their morale once they are now in the ring fighting for their belt.

Like I always said here, just wait until Magsayo pulverize Vargas. That will erase the doubts of everyone that Vargas is the heavy favorite and Magsayo is the underdog even the latter is the Champion and the one defending his belt.

Experience and the height and reach advantage, but if Vargas doesn't know how to used it, then Magsayo will have the upper hand on the power. And we like Magsayo to be the underdog just because he will not win, but we will support and bet for the Filipino.

He has been a champion and for sure, he knows how to used his tools, jab, 1-2. He won fights at decision also, meaning he can go for full 12 rounds with his reach advantage but have the power to knock out his opponent if he has a chance.

And he knows that beating a good fighter in Vargas will elevate his status as the champion and more opportunity for him to unify and become anther legend from the Philippines. So this is a very important fight for him, legacy and money wise.

Yes, that's right. He is on the way, even if the bookies put in as underdog, then it will be a plus for him if he won as a long shot.

Being overconfident is good for me as long as the boxer follows properly the strategy that they worked hard for and does not treat the fight as an easy match.

I do hope its fruit is positive, I agree that it can give a boxer a boost in their performance but often times boxer who shows overconfidence often messed up causing costly mistakes.  I am not a pessimist here just talking about the worst possible scenario of being overconfident, especially in a boxing match.  And looking at Magsayo's opponent, I believe Vargas has the ability to take advantage of an opponent's mistake.


But no crypto sportsbook has listed this fight yet? It is like about couple of weeks and no bookie yet listing for the odds. Magsayo may be the slight favorite here. But yes, he should not be very confident as Vargas seemed to be a good boxer on his own.

maybe it's because bookmakers need to be sure that the fight will happen and for that reason they only list fights 1 day or 2 days before the fights happen, In my opinion bookmakers should list at least 2 weeks before the fights. fights so we can see how the odds would be and how they would vary, this gives a better perspective of who can win the fight, of course, even without odds people already have an idea of who can win the fight, anyway it will be a very interesting fight

It's obviously will happen, it is back by a network and big promotional company. They can simply de-listed it if the fight will not push through. As others have stated, Magsayo's name is not a household name in the Us that's why it didn't get the love as others fight get that even it is months away, it's already listed on some crypto bookies already. It is what it is so we should have patience and wait till they listed in days before the fight date.

Bookies can just easily cancel and suspend the bet if a certain match won't continue due to certain reasons.

A refund will surely follow and that should be a common approach from the bookies. Bookies gave odds reference at least a month or a few several weeks before the fight but that was on fiat bookies. From there, crypto-bettors can picture out what are the expected odds they can get once it will now be listed on the crypto-sportsbook.

Since then, it's really usual to see bookies just listing any Filipino-involved fight 1-2 days before the fight, as others even mentioned, on the crypto-sportsbook.

I think we might see a vastly 'improved' Magsayo here, he knows the noise on his win against Russell Jr. And Roach will have to put up a better plan against Vargas. And maybe they already had it to the tee before this fight. And there could be some adjustments along the way. Just like how he guided Manny to become learn how to used his right as a jab, perhaps Roach will developed Mark into a complete fighter and this fight will be the first time that we will see a different Mark Magsayo, not just pure and raw power, but there could be a lot of head movements and angles.
