I like your positivity towards Mark Magsayo even against all odds and on paper to the majority of analysts, he doesn't have any advantages to match with the Favorite Gary Russell. I'm thinking too that since the fight against Russell will be Magsayo's biggest fight so far, he will aggressively push to achieve the win.
Snatching the WBC Featherweight title from Russell will make his name hyped at the Featherweight Division. It will also open for a chance to get a much bigger fight contract in the future.
