Mark Magsayo confirmed to be replacement opponent for Tank Davis if Lamont Roach pulls out

Why are we even hearing about a potential replacement? You almost never hear about the backup fighter. It’s the new norm in boxing Turki has backups and now all promoters will be doing it not to have cards backfire on them Buy a ticket at your own risk lol

Don't worry, there's still people who buy into Tank's fake resume and think these are good opponents for him. Crazy how De Los Santos is under the same promotion and is at 135, yet Stank's team never wants to send a contract

PBC/Haymon has zero control over their fighters. Showcasing fights is PBC's forte. They are in agreement with their fighters.

I know its a joke but if he really ends up replacing Roach they are gonna have to put quite a twist to hype up Magsayo. At least Roach was a "current world titlist" (from a division below). Speaking of replacement I wonder when they are gonna announce the backup replacement for Inoue-Goodman fight because Ohashi mentioned he's gonna get one for January as they can't afford another extention or cancellation.

That's the joke that it would be funny if it was build up in that way because of the minor connections they do have. Magsayo hired Freddie in the past to be like Pacman, and Tank always been hyped up as the dude brought up by Floyd. Ok lol

Don’t see the connection besides one being from the Philippines and ??? That's the joke that it would be funny if it was build up in that way because of the minor connections they do have.

It's mind-boggling they want nothing to do with De Los Santos who is very much available. Edwin was a late replacement in the Valenzuela fight and won in a very entertaining fashion. Is that not good enough for a pitch to sell the fight? What is Tank afraid of? PBC/Haymon has zero control over their fighters.

It would be funny if this is build up as this era's Pac vs Floyd due to these dudes being the prodigies of Pac and Floyd. Don’t see the connection besides one being from the Philippines and ???

This makes me feel that Roach has some undisclosed injury he got during training that is big enough to make his team unsure if they will be ready for March 1st and they told PBC. Tank probably heard that Roach got injured and assumed fight is cancelled and posted on his social media, but then Roach/his team said they are going to recover and as of now the fight is on, but PBC decided they wanted to be safe and have a backup ready ahead of time. Either that or even worse, they already know for sure that Roach is very unlikely to be ready in time but after pushing the fight already twice PBC didn't want to completely can the event and further lose money. However after hyping Roach up as a champion and formidable opponent they don't want to announce that the opponent for Tank got changed to Magsayo this early to get more flack and also lose out on ticket sales so decided to keep Roach as a decoy until the last minute before they swap. Or maybe they taking a page from Turki who always has backups in case chit goes down It's a safe way to operate and no cancellations makes for a better name

Even the back-up opponent is a former 130lber. Is it too much ask for titlists to defend against contenders in their division?

Well, I suppose they're comparable in that neither fighter was much a threat to Tank. Easy walk in the park type fights regardless of who it ends up being for Tank. Tank is basically on his way to easy bouts, phat checks and retirement. Canelo 2.0. It sure looks that way

mark going night night.... this kid starts out ok then mid-way thru the fight, it's like he just forgets how to fight and just start doing some dumb shiiet.
