Gary Russell Jr. a bad matchup for Mark Magsayo, says Peñalosa

“Russell is way better than Ceja so it cannot be compared. Russell is on a different level stylistically. He has good footwork and hand speed though if he gets hit by Mark he can go down,” he said.

Well,  he has a point, so this is a good challenge for Magsayo to train harder as this is his best shot to win a belt from a champion.
He is still young though... If he loses his career will not end but it's better if he will win this fight.

Not only his stamina has to be improved, but he also needs to improve his boxing skills as he could not be lucky everyday to score a knockout as he did in his previous fight.

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.

This is very common when we are talking about the lighter divisions in boxing, there is not a lot of punching power due to their weight but the speed they have is blinding and that is precisely what Russell does to win his fights.

So I agree that Magsayo will need to use a very effective counter punching strategy so he can keep Russell in place and slow down the rhythm of the fight, because if the rhythm of the fight is dictated by Russell it is almost a sure thing that he is going to win it.

[Hamphser]

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.

Magsayo would be the underdog on this fight which is already expected and i havent seen his last fight though but most people been saying that it wasnt that good but lets see if he do make out some alterations or changes.

For sure they've preparing for this upcoming fight and this is indeed the best time on showing off that he could really at least able to bare
on whats upcoming possible fight.

Its not bad to make out some considerable bets for this guy.

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.

Let's see how this fight will go, Magsayo is a rising star in boxing and Russell is a champion who will defend his title. I'm sure it's not gonna be easy for Magsayo, but if he will work hard enough, he definitely has a shot here, and the best thing he should do is to win by KO.

For all the marbles, I think this should be a must win for Magsayo. No pressure, but I think if he win in impressive fashion against the much touted American, Magsayo stocks will go up.

Yeah, indeed hard work and training and trust to himself that he can pull a big upset because he will be the underdog here. But he was the weapon which is his right hand and for sure Russell knows that. So Magsayo should rely on his power and make Russell very uncomfortable if he wanted a chance to win.

Good analysis by Gerry Peñalosa here, yes I do agree that it will be a bad match up for Magsayo.

The foot work alone of Russell might make Mark Magsayo chase him all around and it could affect his strategy because he has to find that opening.

And Gary Russell has a good boxing IQ and good defense as well, so it's going to be difficult for Mark to even corner him so that he can give one power punch. Ceja is more of a brawler while Russell is a technical fighter, and any time a style like that, a technical boxer wins majority of it.

True, but you can't underestimate the heart of a Filipino, for sure Gerry knows that because he himself was a underdog against Jhonny Gonzalez of Mexico and won it via KO (body shot).

So there is a chance that even though Magsayo will be the huge underdog here based on his so-so performance against Ceja, this is still a winnable fight for him. He just go there with the correct mindset that he can win and knockout his opponent and bring glory to the country again.

Venue: TBD

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.

I've seen some of the toughest fight of Russell and the only guy who has beaten him was Lomachenko this dud loves to mix it up and engage like Ceja, but the big difference is Russell has a knock out power, Magsayo will be fighting the fight of his life just like Kambosos and he should be 100% ready, to mix it up and fight Russell power to power, I'm picking Magsayo to win by knockout he has a puncher chance because of his ability to knock opponents with one punch.

It is undeniable that Gary Russell has a good footwork and hand speed which I think was his advantage over Mark Magsayo and this fight might be the first defeated record of Magsayo but I didn't belittle Filipino fighter because we all knew that the spirit of a Filipino fighter unfold once they are inside the ring. I think that with this upcoming fight Mark Magsayo is the underdog but I am also picking Magsayo to win this game either by knock out or by unanimous decision.

Filipinos are known to have huge power as well, they might not have the proper training in the beginning specially about footwork and others, but they make it up by developing power on both hands.

So if Magsayo landed a solid punch on Russell, maybe he will knock him out because Russell is not known to have a good chin. And that is the chance that Magsayo should work out, his timing in order to make another upset in this division although he is a champion himself. But the biggest price is the WBC title.

I think it will be an exciting match. I have seen plays of Russell and indeed he is a great boxer. His footwork, form, speed and powerful punches. His stamina could keep up until the 12th but I guess it will depend on how this opponent might bring up during the first rounds. The only thing I have noticed was somehow he struggles with his reach especially with taller opponent but nothing else. With Magsayo, I think he was trained very well. He has this powerful punches that I am hoping to see during this fight. He just needs to know how to land them properly. Hopefully he could keep up with Russell until the end of the round. I have seen some of his KO fights and I think he surges early, might fatigue early too.

This is a good match for Gary Russell and a great challenge for Mark Magsayo to achieve his dream. He is undefeated coming from a sensational KO win against Julio Ceja, so Russell knows how strong his punch is and he will prepare for that fight well to defend his belt. I'm rooting for the challenger here.

I would also route for Magsayo in this fight. Not that I see it would be easy but I like to be surprised on how he will be handling the holder. Russell do know how to play the fight. I have also watched the fight between Magsayo and Ceja and it was a clear KO though the had some difficulties on his part. Ceja was a bit aggressive and they both got tired half way. I think Magsayo could pull this out if he does the same with Russell because I think he could tire him for sure.

[agustina2]

Regardless of the status of how strong Gary Russell is, it's a good bet that Magsayo is the underdog. In that way, I will not have any difficulty placing my bet since I will be biased on that match. Expecting at least @3 or @4 odds for Magsayo once the bookies now listed the match.

Magsayo I'm sure will give his best as if he loses that match, his bid for a much higher target will wait for long.

Russell Jr is the classic example of trying to go on your own without a good promoter.  The dude fights like once every 3 years lol.  That said, he's one of the most skilled fighters out there. Honestly, I don't think Magsayo have hope with Russell, Russell is a tested fighter

Lol, I made a quick run-through on the fights of Russell and you are right, this guy needs Bob Arum  .

One thing I've noticed also is that the quality of opposition that Russell has is not quite impressive for me, only Loma is the big name that he has fought.

For sure Magsayo will be the underdog on this one but how much we will win in case we bet for him remains to be seen but regardless of the number I will still be backing MMM because he has that power punch that could make the opponent face the canvass. Last time around, he was behind on the scorecards but when that power punch landed, everything was history but that doesn't mean he has to always do that way, he has to devise a plan on how to counter the footwork of Gary.

i do agree with that, because last time, he just got this lucky punch, if not, he won't win that fight as he was losing. so he needs to run down his strategies on how to get ahead even in the first rounds. don't wait to use that punch because it may never come the next time around.
as he is the challenger on this match, he should be the aggressive one, if not, he won't get the belt and may just end up as UD in favour for russell.

Yeah, that's one complain about Russell though, he is good but haven't been tested against a good opposition on the last 3 years and then he claims he is one of the best in the division. To be honest, he is really that good when I first saw his fight, skill wise he could be one of the top in this division but he doesn't want to extend and again fought good boxers maybe except now as he will face what he thinks is the weaker champion in his division. But he will be wrong if Magsayo caught that chin of his.

[Jawhead999]

This is another good fight and worthy bet an underdog, Magsayo has a good chance to beat Russell. Take a look with his record he's still undefeated and already fight many good boxer.

I wonder why Russell is only defending his belt instead of taking more belts? This guy only have WBC featherweight, if he lose he wouldn't have any belt. Probably he don't want to harm his record, as the previously he lose when he want to obtain WBO featerweight from Loma.
