Fight Analysis: Mark Magsayo vs Rigoberto Hermosillo Saturday in Los Angeles By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Wed, 30 Sep 2020  Unbeaten Filipino featherweight Mark “Magnífico” Magsayo, born in the paradise island of Bohol, can’t wait to battle Mexican Rigoberto Hermosillo in a 10-round main event this Saturday, October 3, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, USA. The stage could not be a better gold for the promising Magsayo (20-0, 14 KO’s) as he is set to star for the first time as the feature fighter in a major television network on a Saturday prime time. After completely missing boxing action in 2018, the world-ranked "Magnífico" returned in 2019 with a couple of wins, including a victory by points over veteran former Thai titlist Pungluang Sor Singyu. However, to many fans, Saturday’s clash could be a tough rumble for the Boholano star as the Mexican is a natural southpaw attacker who dangerously advances forward throwing explosive bombs. That’s where Magsayo’s effective counter-punching skills should give him the upper hand. That we shall see. On the blue corner will be 28-year-old Mexican Rigoberto Hermosillo (11-2-1, 8 KO’s), a native of the historic city of Guadalajara, who in fact lands into this encounter against Magsayo after suffering 2 consecutive defeats. 😬 His first loss was to fellow Mexican Manny Robles III, and the 2nd one a set back to Ukrainian Viktor Slavinskyi last November. Would Saturday be a 3rd defeat for the Mexican? On paper, the seemingly more skilled Mark Magsayo appears to have more than enough boxing talent in him to deal with the less-refined Hermosillo, but in boxing there are no small enemies, anything could happen. 
Former ALA stalwart Magsayo now headlines a card in Los Angeles this Saturday under MP Promotions and Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions. Should the 25-year-old Pinoy warrior emerge victorious, the chances for him to challenge for a 126-pound world-title increase exponentially. This is extremely important. Absolutely. This a superbly awesome opportunity for Magsayo to headline in the United States, looking impressively good. Will Magsayo seize this golden opportunity by scoring a sizzling win, similar to the one stable-mate Casimero delivered last Saturday? His many fans say yes. 🥊 Or will the Mexican brawler spoil his evening? That’s what we have to find out. “Magnífico” Magsayo is promoted by Manny Pacquiao’s MP promotions, the company that also guides the careers of Filipino standouts Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas, Johnriel “Quadro Alas” Casimero, among others. Saturday’s exciting rumble is produced by Premier Boxing Champions live on FOX. Magsayo vs Hermosillo in Featherweight action. May the Best Man Win!
