[Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title

[crzy]

Congrats to the winners, I see that most of the posters here were betting on Magsayo, you enjoy the day. 

That was so lucky for Magsayo, Rusell got injured so he took advantage of it.
If Rusell wasn't injured, I think Magsayo might lose in this fight because the scorecards result were very close, one judge even score a draw.

Magsayo really did a great job and seriously, Rusell looks no injure at all since he also throw good punches to Magsayo, its just that he is not that good to beat Magsayo. Let’s accept it without any excuses, Magsayo dominate the match and he is now a world champion and still undefeated, luckily I place some bet on the last minute.

He can throw some punches but using only one hand, it was not an excuse but he was clearly injured and it helped Magsayo to win that fight. The scorecard were close although Magsayo won via majority decision, things could be hard for him if Rusell had two hands.

If Russell's camp is not satisfied with this fight, they may ask for a re-match once Russell is fully healed.
But we don't know if Magsayo's camp will easily accept the challenge.
But this chance of Magsayo's winning is very good for his career as he got his first world title.
After this, he may get bigger fights and of course higher paychecks.
And sportsbooks may not underestimate him in his succeeding fights.

Not so easy for Rusell to have a rematch unless the camp will prioritize him on the next match. His injury might be serious and need some time to heal, while he is in the healing process, Magsayo can always fight on the top contenders on the division title he is holding, of course, next fight of him, he will be the favorites.

Lol are you serious? Looks no injure because he can still throw punches? Which fight are you watching then?
That wasn't even a convincing win from Magsayo because Russell was clearly injured. Yes, he can still throw punches, with the left hand because that's where  most of his strength is coming from as he is a southpaw.
Didn't you see how he hurt himself after he made a hard right hand straight jab in round 4? That automatically sent his right arm hanging from a pain?

However, congrats to the new Champion.

I'm with Magsayo to win, of course, but you have to watch the full fight. Clearly, Russell is fighting not in 100% because of that injury aside from the weight problem. But like I mentioned, even with Russell at 100%, Magsayo still has the chance to beat him. It's just that we didn't see GRJ's side fighting at 100% but no one to blame there. Magsayo worked hard on that win and now achieved his target, to become a World Champion.

I've noticed that but the show must go on for him. And to say, Magsayo did well on this match and he deserves the belt that he has right now. There's no reasoning that because of this and that, he lost and the other wins.

We're all acknowledging that this is a total win for Magsayo. He's now a world champ and he's happy to get that belt and feeling at the top of the world right now. Any opinions who's he going to match next or there are already rumors of matching him with a possible challenger?

It's clear win, and we saw Russell also tries to fight back, whatever excuses is no longer valid aside from asking for a rematch, Magsayo prepared well and we have seen that from the actual fight, he's quick in countering punches and the stamina that he shows really give him that good advantage, he keeps on moving and trying to find the opening to hit Russell.

Great win for Magsayo and nice odds for everyone who bet on him, especially those who bet as early as the first line have been offered by the bookies..

Yes, i got the odds at 3.80.   Another upset in boxing. Now, I am thinking that the possibility of upset between Spence Jr vs Ugas is high. Who knows, once the boxer is very prepared, he has really good chance to pull off the fight? We will see if Russell will ask for a re-match here. Because it has been years that he is holding the belt and now, Magsayo got it.

From Round 5 to 12, we can Russell is mostly using his left hand. Even he is a South Paw, it should always be associated with using mostly his right hand too for lighter jabs but since Russell is seemingly in pain, he tries to finish the fight with what he currently has.

Congratulations to our Magsayo. Another Pinoy World Champion on our history. Congratulations to Russell. He can ask for a rematch but since it will take time to fully healed his injury, his now catching up with the age before he can ask for a rematch. Magsayo by 28-30 if ever, will be Russel at 35-37. Not a good match now.

[Heartilly]

Even at 33, with a shoulder injury and problems reaching the required weight during the weigh-in, Gary Russell Jr. shows that he is a champion. He's still fast and quick and gives our contender Mark Magsayo a tough match. We see what we expected to the fight, a close bout.

Congratulations to the Philippines for establishing another World Champion and sending a shockwave to the boxing world.

What's next for the reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Mark Magsayo? A title defense or stepping into another division? He can go with 130 lbs after numerous title defenses to prepare his body.

[Fundamentals Of]

Finally Mark Magsayo has earned his championship goal. He really deserves it. Although Gary Russell has not been in his best form prior to the fight or probably even during the fight night itself, still props and respect to him for coming out brave to face the challenger, a very tough challenger at that. And he even showed a good fight.

The fight has opened a lot of doors for the new champion. There might already be a list being floated around for his next opponent but for now it’s the time to savor the long awaited championship moment and take a good rest and have fun with the family.

Yes Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo deserve this win because he have been aiming for this for long time , He had been waiting and preparing this for years and now here it is He finally got his Title and he deserve this.

not like casimero that has a bad mounth , Magsayo is one of the best boxer with good attitude like Donaire and Pacqiuao .

Congratulation Mark, you deserve that .

Have anyone seen Gary Russell interview after the fight, the guy is a sore loser claiming he won the majority of the rounds and teaches Magsayo a lesson in boxing, all he has done in the ring is to run and ducked he doesn't even have an offense claiming that he has one hand, it's not Magsayo's fault why he has that injury what is clear is he clearly losses the fight and none of the judges favors him.

LOL, the x champ is funny, cannot accept his defeat, of course for him he won but for the eyes of the many, it was clearly Magsayo who won the fight, some were even surprised the decision was close, it should be a unanimous decision with big difference on the judges' scores. If I was him, I would just accept the defeat and ask for a rematch, that way he can reclaim himself if he can really beat Magsayo.

[Rufsilf]

Congratulations to Mark Magsayo, you're now a world champion!

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.

I'm impressed with his endurance, his speed and strength, we all can say that he's well prepared for this match. And do you think guys that his age is a big factor against Russell? He's 26 years old while Russell is 33 years old.

Indeed, Magsayo had really prepared well to fight Gary and become a world champion.
As expected, Gary Russell was experiencing some ring rust while on the other hand, Mark Magsayo was so confident about the fight and we could really see in the first few rounds that Magsayo has the upper hand and Russell was struggling to catch up on Magsayo's moves. But I'm really disappointed about how the judges scored the fight, it was the total opposite on how did the match go.

Congratulations again, Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo on becoming a world champion!

That is how a Loser act, this kind of person does not deserve any chances to win because either win or loss? he always have something to claim so yeah I now withdraw my respect on russel.

I use to like Him before the fight but now , He is a total jerk for me and will never watch any incoming fight of Him.

to the winner , you did a great job and will be looking for the coming fight of yours .

Or it was probably just his way of saying, give me a rematch with this man. But if he meant that he really won the fight, he was simply bitter. He should be the first person to know that he wasn't the best boxer that fight night. I guess it was as early as round 4 when he already lost his right hand.

It was Magsayo who clearly won the fight. But Russell was good. He was able to give a good fight despite his shoulder injury. He even managed to earn a draw from one judge and fairly competitive scorecards from the other two.

Yeah, I saw this video earlier and honestly he made me laugh knowing that it's so clear that Mark Magsayo has the advantage of the fight so natrurally the Philippine boxer would be hailed as the winner and the new word champion. I reckon he didn't saw the video of the fight, what he's claiming is the exact opposite of what Mark Magsayo did to him. He can't just accept that he lost
Also, it was Gary Russell's fault why he had injury and that explains why he only used his right hand in the fight.

Gary Russell is a great boxer and already carved his name in the boxing greats, he just cannot accept the loss he is doing a Teofimo Lopez by denying the obvious he is indeed a sore loser, he should just humble himself to gain the admiration of the boxing community, now they are laughing at Russell for being a sore loser, anyway, we looked at the fight even to the eyes of the judges he losses the fight, I lose a bit of respect to Russell for his denial.
