MARK “MAGNIFICO” MAGSAYO failed to jumpstart his bid to become world champion once more after yielding to American Brandon Figueroa via unanimous decision on Sunday for the vacant World Boxing Council featherweight interim belt at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. rounds for excessive clinching didn’t help the comeback campaign of the former WBC featherweight champion, who lost in all scorecards—109-117, 109-117 and 108-118.
Magsayo, 27, started strong but faded in the middle rounds as he couldn’t hit his target and yielded to the 26-year-old Figueroa who to a 24-1-1 win-loss-draw record. Magsayo, who lost the WBC crown to Mexico’s Rey Vargas last July, appeared unstable and kept clinching and at times slipping on the canvas.
The Filipino managed to land big punches on Figueroa’s head in the later rounds, but the American endured and went to volume punching to win the 12-round bout.
