Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo's dream shot at the world is now becoming a reality after WBC has mandated the champ Gary Russell to defend his title against the dangerous Boholano slugger Mark Magsayo.

This is a very dangerous fight for both but I think that Magsayo is ripe for this shot and this is some sort of a reward for the sacrifices that he made, being in the US training and waiting for his fights to come.

Though no odds are release yet but i think Russell will be the favorite here.

What's your thought on this fight guys.

Nice, another good Filipino boxer is once again given the chance to get a title.

Mark Magsayo would have to deal with Gary Russell's speed, not sure though if Gary still possesses that speed, but when he broke out to the scene, one assets he has is that he has quick hands.

But I think Magsayo will have a good chance because I will rate his power above Russell, Gary has the superior speed by Mark punch packs power.

[Darker45]

It's very much expected that Russell will be the favorite here, a significant one most probably. Magsayo has been eyeing for a higher level fight but I guess he is not really that ripe for a top-caliber fighter. I'm not saying that's exactly Russell but he could very well be.

Magsayo's latest KO win over Ceja in the Manny-Ugas bout was more of seeing what he needed to improve than seeing what he has already got.

But let's see. For sure, Magsayo deserves a good opponent. Russell is the man. And considering that Russell will be facing Magsayo after a two-year period of inactivity, it would be to Magsayo's advantage.

[Maslate]

I'm not impressed with Magsayo's last fight although he won by KO but he needed that to win the fight because if it goes to the scorecard, he would have lose that fight.

This fight with  Gary Russell is probably the biggest fight of his career, and though I am not impressed in his previous fight but I would back him to win this fight, not because I think he is better than Russell but because I believe he has a good shot of winning and the odds is very convincing for sure since Magsayo is the underdog.

[Wexnident]

I'd still think Russell would be the favorite for this one. Honestly, even if Magsayo was given the chance to get a title, at most, it's just a chance. I'd say that he was given an opportunity to experience a wider world or something of the sort, but Russell would immediately shut him down. Still, I think it'd be a good experience for Magsayo, might even be able to make it a close fight since Russel hasn't had any fights for quite a few years now. Since the match date is still tba, I'd reckon they'd give him some time to get into shape.

Now, here's to hoping Covid doesn't also fuck this fight up.

[robelneo]

Gary Russell is very dangerous, relentless, and with rapid-fire punches, if he cannot respect Magsayo's power he'll be in big trouble, Magsayo has a chance here if he concentrates on his counter punches just like he did with Ceja, for Magsayo to beat Rusell he must do a
 Lomachencko, go toe to toe and throw a lot of punches and make Russell miss, Rusell is not that powerful boxer, he does not possess one punch knock-out power he overwhelmed his opponents with many punches.

Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo's dream shot at the world is now becoming a reality after WBC has mandated the champ Gary Russell to defend his title against the dangerous Boholano slugger Mark Magsayo.

This is a very tough fight for Magsayo as Russel is one of the toughest in this division .

with standing of 32 total fights but 31 of those are wins and 18 won by Knockouts showing how good this is.

but of course with 1 loss in which  gives magsayo opportunity to add one on its record.

but like what you said this is a dream fight for Magnifico so let the bough begin .

[yazher]

Oh his getting another good fight again, this is fine since he already unleashed his skills on his last fight by knocking cold his opponent. This time he is fighting a champion, he should not be like the last time where he took some punches recklessly because Russel can also knock him out. Either way, this will be a must-watch fight for me since Magsayo is on his way on his journey to be one of the greatest fighters in the world.

[enhu]

I'm not impressed with Magsayo's last fight although he won by KO but he needed that to win the fight because if it goes to the scorecard, he would have lose that fight.

This fight with  Gary Russell is probably the biggest fight of his career, and though I am not impressed in his previous fight but I would back him to win this fight, not because I think he is better than Russell but because I believe he has a good shot of winning and the odds is very convincing for sure since Magsayo is the underdog.

Recovering from getting knocked and then won by KO is a lot impressive, Not all who got knocked got up and beat the champ.

Gary Russell Jr. will end the longest layoff of his career January 22.

He had not fought for almost 2 years, I think he really needs to have good substantial training for his comeback. With Magsayo as his contender who recently got his title this year, he will probably come out as a winner.

[btc_angela]

I do agree that Gary Russell will be the favourite in this fight. No offence to Magsayo, he is good has power in both hands, but I don't think he has the tools to beat a much experience Russell in this fight.

Russell has been holding this belt for 3 years now, but also defended it 5x only though in that 3 years.

Nevertheless, it will be very tough fight for Magsayo, but again, I will give the edge for Russell maybe in a 12 round decision win.

[coin-investor]

Magsayo's only advantage in this fight is Gary Russell's inactivity but style and ring generalship Garyu Russell has the edge, but a fighter with a knock out power always have a chance, this is Magsayo's biggest test to his boxing career, he is touted to be the next Pacquiao and this could be the fight that will define his career, this is a very tough fight for both fighters I have both fighters even but if it goes long distance, Garry Russell could win it.

[rhomelmabini]

Well, aren't both of them that dangerous? Russell may the favorite but I think Magsayo has something on his sleeves and this isn't some kind of favoritism since his my fellow countrymen but I'm rooting on him, it might be tough but I'm rooting he can pull this through.

We can not predict the outcome of this fight because they are both professional and great fighters.
We all know that Russell defending his title, for sure he trained well and harder to beat magsayo.
But our fellow filipino Magsayo  I'm pretty sure that he will do his best in this fight cause and the aim Is to steal the belt.

For this fight I'll support my fellow filipino even though who will win this match at least the pride of Filipino will rise.

It's really nice to know that a Filipino boxer is given an opportunity to make his name well-known and make his dreams come true, which is to fight against his ultimate dream opponent. Mark Magsayo has a standing of 23 wins with a 16 knockouts which I must say is a good record for a boxer. He have good matches which you can really say that whenever he fights, he fights with all his might. That is why he attained such track records. Meanwhile, Gary Russell which is also a reputable American boxer is a good player as well. He has an outstanding record in which he held the WBC title the longest. He has the WBC title ever since 2015. Magsayo said that he has it the longest time around because he mainly fights once a year only, unlike other boxers. Which also makes sense if you will really think about it. But of course, the fights annually isn't an easy peasy as well. It surely is also as challenging as other fights. Only that the probability of holding the title becomes a little more higher due to lesser tries.

Both boxers perform great inside the arena and no doubt their match will definitely be exciting and thrilling to watch. Hopefully, they'll give us an aggressive and intense fight on the date of their game which is actually fast approaching. It's only a few days to see who will take the title. It would certainly be an awaited fight most especially to their fans.

[Saisher]

Its power versus speed, Gary Russell's only loss was against Lomachencko, Russell is not what you might call a power puncher but he is very aggressive and loves to mix it up, he can compare Russell to Ceja, who overwhelms his opponents with so many punches, if he can land one big punch and can answer Russell's aggressiveness then he has a chance to beat him, he should knock Russell out or he will lose by points.

Well, Ceja was defeated by Magsayo. Though I cannot say that Magsayo dominated the fight, but he definitely outlast Ceja on that fight with a viscous straight right hand punch.
On this match it will be Russo as the heavy favourite, of course he's better than Ceja, he also is more quicker and has stronger punches. I don't think Magsayo needs to knock Russell out for him to win. Forcing that thing to happen will put him in disadvantage. Magsayo can actually win by points.

Well Magsayo needs to have patience of this knowing how good his opponent is that's why he need to put a lot of punches landed so that he can win on this fight, although I'm not saying that he might lose to this but what he need to get more better chances is to plan his game style and study his opponent since this will be a tough fight for him. But I still believe that Magsayo could take the win since we know how Filipino boxers eager to win on every match they are on.

And the only way for him to win in this fight is to knock out Gary Russell, I doubt that American judges will favor Marsayo here unless it was clearly a dominant performance by him. And it's hard to knock out Russell as he is also very elusive and has the advantage of hand speed.

So patience and hard work and timing is what he needed to win. And then play good defense though because he will definitely hit by Russell and he might felt in. But hopefully, Magsayo can overcome Russell and win by ko.

Lots of Filipino boxers are creating a good name in the boxing industry this year. It will be a challenging match for Magsayo but will also be a tough fight for Gary Russell since Magsayo is really training and preparing well for the upcoming match. Magsayo is well determined to knock Gary Russell just like what he did in his previous matches.

If Magsayo wants a clear win over Russell, he really should knock him out at early rounds. Because if they will complete the 12 rounds without a knockout or any major happening, Russell will retain his belt. We know that in a lot of cases, judges are bias.  Last time, I betted on Magsayo, I guess, I will bet on him again. Curious what odds the bookies they will give to these 2 boxers.
