[Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title

[Reatim]

wow , Congratulations Mark Magsayo , a Philippine pride 

______________________________________________________________

So he defeated Gary Russel  (in which i thought is going to win lol) but as I have read there is a injury when the fight held like what happened in some boxer who loses because of their not so good stand.

But i also agree in the call for rematch because this will seal the talking about the injury reason why Magsayo won the fight.

Gary Russell has very experienced wrestler but Mark Magsayo big and hard wrestler. I hope Mark Magsayo will win this title and i hope Every will be happy that new one will get this Title. Best of luck both but my vote goes to Mark Magsayo.

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.

Here are the possible fights he can arrange with: (within the same division)

Emanuel Navarrete - WBO Featherweight Champion
Kiko Martinez - IBF Featherweight Champion
Leigh Wood - WBA Featherweight Champion
Gary Russell Jr. - Title Defense (rematch)

I don't know if Magsayo's camp plan to unify this but it's a good target before testing the waters on 130–135 lbs.

If i were an adviser to Magsayo, i would take on Kiko Martinez first before going for the rematch or a unification bout with either Wood or Navarrete.

On the three, Martinez seems to be the weakest and a fight with him will give Magsayo more confidence going forward if he wins.

Money-wise, i think he would still receive substantial amount whoever he fights because his fight with Russell, it's been said by one analyst that Mark received 19M Php which for me a big amount already since he is just the challenger to Russell and if he defend or unify then we could expect that he will receive more.

Time to lock the thread guys and as usual, thanks for all your comments and congrats to those who win and also a big congrats to the new champion from the Philippines, Mark Magnifico Magsayo.

See you in his next fight, hopefully this year.
