One guy is younger, taller, longer, stronger, and has shown more against superior competition. Figueroa UD-12īet on Brandon Figueroa (-285) or Mark Magsayo (+215) at DraftKings Sportsbook! John Hansen (21-4) I don’t see a stoppage happening here, so I’m just going to take Figueroa to win on points. Ultimately I see this being a pretty fun fight with some back and forth action, but with Figueroa starting to pull away on points down the back stretch. I also think Figueroa is going to prove to be tank-ier than Magsayo, so will be better equipped to deal with the incoming fire. If you look at the styles, both fighters like to bang it out a lot, and I think that’s going to favor the bigger, longer Figueroa who should be able to work on the inside and middle ranges. I gotta say, I like Brandon Figueroa in this matchup. To keep pace and stay in the fight, Magsayo’s going to have to go at a pace he may not like. Figueroa likes to bring the fight and his volume should help him break Magsayo down, which I think will come late in the fight just on gas tank as much as anything. I just don’t see Magsayo doing enough here. That’s not to say Magsayo can’t hurt him, but it won’t be because Figueroa is suddenly incapable of taking shots at 126 that he could at 122. I also just don’t think featherweight is going to be where Figueroa starts having trouble taking punches. Magsayo is definitely dangerous - he can crack and he’s quick, but he’s struggled badly in some of his wins, and Figueroa is better than those guys. I like this fight, but I strongly favor Figueroa here. Who wins the Figueroa vs Magsayo fight? We’ve got our picks in! Scott Christ (15-10) Brandon Figueroa and Mark Magsayo headline a tripleheader this Saturday night on Showtime (9 pm ET), fighting for the interim WBC featherweight title, with the winner right in line for a crack at Rey Vargas’ full title.
