[Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title

[coin-investor]

As far as we want that to happened where Magsayo can find a good opening a big punch, I'm sure Russell on the other hand can withstand that big punch. Russell is not a fighter that won't be knockout because of that. And while Magsayo is finding an opening, Russell also doing the same.

I see the match will be closed and we will see who's body is stronger to take the body blows.

Magsayo to win at Decision 50%
Magsayo to win at KO 60%
Russell to win at Decision 80% (obviously if you know what I mean)
Russell to win at KO 70%

That's my own forecast.

I thought Russell will not make the limit, he was given a half-hour to shelve out that excess pound glad that he did, the injury if true will have an impact on Russell performance but it will be evident in the first three rounds, Magsayo should not be sure of the news of the injury, for all he knows it could be a big trap, Russell is favorite to win according to your prediction, I hope the

Magsayo to win at KO 60%

is the one that will materialize, I'll be waking early to check what page in my favorite social it will be telecast for free looking forward to posting it here.

Yes, I read that Russell needs to burn a few to catch up with the required weight. Seems easy for him to do so but with only just a few hours or a day before the match, it might give an effect on his usual performance on the day of the fight.

Magsayo should not be comfortable and takes things easy thinking Russell has an injury or undergo a little training to burn a few weights. Russell won't be a champion for 5 years with 5  successful title defenses without a big reason.

If he has a good nutritionist and conditioning coach that will not be a problem at all

This is Magsayo's biggest fight and all his best preparations and experience should come out in this fight, this is the one fight he's been waiting for all his life, and for Russell, he is on the biggest challenge considering that he is on a long lay off, had to shed pounds and claimed he has an injury, both fighters are on a big challenge whoever wins it, deserves it, and the boxing community is excited to see an exciting fight.

Surely he has but still, it will take on a load on the fighter's side even by small chance. It's the first time I think he wasn't able to catch up with the weight. But good thing it's only a small weight to burn were for us, it will be difficult but since they are a professional boxer, it won't harm them.

Magsayo was told not to be comfortable that Russell is having a weight problem. He should remain on his usual form the first time the fight was announced.

Three days ago it was @8.8 if you bet for Magsayo to win by knockout but now it is only 6.60, seems like bettors are going for that option as i also think that if Magsayo will win, it would be by KO.

Ring rust, speculation of an injury, not getting the weight at first try and lose of his father on his corner, seems to me that these are the triggering factor on why bettors are going for that option.

The odds are still decent though, wow, congrats in advance you risk on that high odds. That would make you celebrate nicely if you win at that high odds, I'm following on the odds, there's a chance he will win by KO as he also won by KO in his last fight.

Good luck on your bet, this fight will be tomorrow, I hope I can see free live streaming so I don't have to pay and just use the money for betting.  ..... I'm sure most of us here are with Magsayo, so the higher the odds the better and we should not doubt his chances.

[Furious 7]

Even the last time i checked the bookies' bets i saw that magsayo is very clearly the underdog.
with this and indeed I feel that magsayo is worth betting on, I have no doubts about it.
as you said, he still has a long way to go and indeed his technique is also very good and even better he is also a person who can withstand hitting.
I feel even though the match will be tough but still Magsayo will be the final winner in this fight.

Yes, there are no change in the odds despite Russell's announcement that he is somewhat suffering from an undisclosed injury. And Russell said that he appreciate Magsayo because he has accepted this fight and he Magsayo is fighting for the Filipino people to bring honor to his country. I guess he is referring to Leo Sta Cruz who undoubtedly is not willing to fight Russell at this point. Both are champions but it seems that someone is not willing to put his belt on the line. So still have time to put our bet on the underdog Magsayo as it he is still a huge underdog at 3.90.

even with him saying that he had an injury would only make magsayo even more superior.
apart from him being uninjured, Magsayo is already in the lead, especially now that Russell is injured.
the possibility of magsayo being superior is increasingly open and more confident in the victory of this bet.
with me saying things like this doesn't mean i underestimate russell because i know russell is a pretty good boxer but compared to magsayo he still can't be compared

absolutely true even if the stakes are down it is still quite large and still quite profitable to do.
I will be on Magsayo's side apart from him being the seed his opponent is even less favored and even now he has an injury which is still a secret.
this is very difficult for russell because indeed he now looks like there is no hope in betting but it would be great if he did this fight with all his might

I don't think we should talk about the injury as it seems like it wasn't serious enough, if it was, then most probably the odds have changed already, but look at the betting odds now, it's almost the same it was first open and prior to the rumors that the champion had an injury.

Magsayo was told not to be comfortable that Russell is having a weight problem. He should remain on his usual form the first time the fight was announced.

Focus and not to put that advantage inside his mind, though maybe slight difference with Russell's health but likewise, with good nutrionist that may not affect his capabilities, in Magsayo's side, he should continue to think about strategy and what his advantage once they already meet inside the ring.

It's Magsayo's opportunity. Better not to let this big break passed.

Hope he will win and bring another pride to the country, lining his name to all those Pilipino pride..

Hats off to Russell he is a real Dawg for not going down he fought with one hand and still go on to fight Magsayo I feel disappointed on one of the judge for scoring the bout even when it's Magsayo all throughout from the time Russell injured his right hand, it's not the kind of fight people expected but still a win for Magsayo, congratulations to Magsayo for winning a world title.

and in case russell wants a re-match, magsayo said that they are open but in the contract, it said that it is not stated. so let's see how things pan out after this. but this will give magsayo better advantage next fight as they saw his performance. there's nothing much highlight but a KO would be good next time if there will be a re-match.
i guess, sportsbooks will give different odds  next time because they gave high odds for magsayo, meaning they were not looking at magsayo as a boxer that will beat russell. another upset in boxing and another filipino is starting to reign inside the boxing ring.

Though injured, Russell was still too quick for Magsayo for him to land that fatal blow so kudos to him for making that fight close even with that injured right hand.

One positive thing that happens in this fight for Magsayo is that he was able to outbox Russell all throughout the fight and not just relying with that one punch KO.

Lose my bet as i think KO is the only chance for Magsayo win but he proved me wrong this time.

Congrats MMM and to all his backers.

Yep I feel bad to Russell, he still want to continue the fight with his left hand only. Magsayo also showing a good performance in the ring even he win without knocking down Russell. The scorecard was so close, if Russell doesn't injured IMO he can still defend his title again.

Magsayo have chance to follow fellow top Filipino boxer e.g. Donaire and Casimero. What's next opponent he will fight? I'd say better to fight with Leo Santa Cruz or Leigh Wood to get WBA title, the other champions is very though boxer.

even though it's not too serious but an injury is still an injury and this will make some bookies think again about being on russell's side.
on the other hand for betting may still be the same but this does not mean making russell an advantage by not changing the bet there.
i personally probably wouldn't doubt russell's strength and i still admit that he is a good boxer.
but with current conditions and seeing who the opponent is of course the chances are small

[herurist]

Certainly, why would we compare Magsayo to Loma? Magsayo is nowhere near Loma's experience, the man still have a lot to work and prove to be one of those worthy boxer like Loma. Let's save that discussion later, for now let's see how would this fight end as both boxers are tough and willing to do their best to defend its title, but I have no doubts on Magsayo here as I know that he can defeat Russell eventually.

That's right, rather than busy comparing things that can't even be compared right now it's better to focus on what will happen in this battle.
I quite agree to say that Magsayo will stand victorious in this match but of course we can't take Russell for granted.
There are several things that Russell can do, one of which is the power he has.
but even so, magsayo's endurance is quite good and indeed the chance of winning for magsayo is very large.

I guess the power belongs to Magsayo as he is a knock-out puncher, however, his skills in boxing is not yet seasoned, he still needs to train harder so he can easily make an adjustment in the ring. This is a 12 rounds fight, adjustment is necessary and he should not only look for a KO all the time.

it is undeniable that magsayo also has strength but his endurance is better I think.
and yes, if you say experience, of course russell is superior and in terms of age he is also more mature but this can be used as a challenge for magsayo whether he can make something here, especially in balancing the experience that russell has.
