I like Magsayo's chances against Russell, Magsayo is a knock out artist who just need one big punch to go through his opponent's chin or body to make a big difference, Russell is a volume puncher who loves to move in and attack, Magsayo should be ready on this and concentrate on his counter punches just like what he did to Ceja.
He is considered to be the next Pacquiao and this is a career-defining fight for Magsayo I hope he can deliver.

That being said, Gary Russell's boxing fight experiences also plays an important role on this one and he's have the upper hand on this match. He also have a clean record but now it has stained because of Lomachenko. Even if Mark Magsayo has a chance of winning because of his complexities, height and reach advantages, still Magsayo needs to be more patient and read his opponents moves because as you said that Gary will do everyting in-order to defend his belt and win this fight. So Magsayo's agility won't be enough to win this, he ought to score and land more lethal punches.
If we will going to refer to the record of both fighters we can say that Gary Russell is a more experienced fighter compared to Mark Magsayo but that doesn't fully justify the capability and skills of both fighters because they are both their own kind of monster inside the ring. Both fighters have a good record and we can say that both have the potential to ace the fight. I don't think if the odds were already out but I bet that this upcoming fight will be a hard time for the bettors which one will they going to bet.

I see how Magsayo play inside the ring and for me he will win on this because I always believe on Filipino fighter and I always support them no matter what. This is not an easy match of course since Russell will defend his belt title and will do everything to protect it. Magsayo have to do everything as well, his chance of winning is very high.

I’m impressed with Magsayo on his last Match, he won even if Manny lose on the same day. Well, Russel is a great boxer too, with that title and with the WBO order, for sure he will be more eager to win and defend his title. There’s still have time for them to prepare and train, I believe those who are able to condition his body correctly will win since they both have the skills and talent, they just have to use it well.
Magsayo fights first before Manny so he didn't see the lost of Manny obviously.
And maybe it will have a big effect on him, who knows as he idolises Pacquiao. In any case it was a close fight though, until he knock out Ceja.
But now it's going to be a different fight because Russell is fast and not a brawler so it will be a big test for Magsayo here.

This is quite interesting because if I'm not mistaken it's been a long time since playing Russell in the international arena and if I'm not mistaken it's been at least one or two years he hasn't played again.
According to https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/479775, his last fight was February 8. 2021, and won via UD, that's over a year already, almost 2 years until his next fight which is scheduled in January next year. we can monitor the odds here https://www.proboxingodds.com/, but it seems like the betting odds for this fight are not yet listed.
Magsayo is a great fighter but he has some weakness too, his boxing skills have to be developed as facing a champion is not like facing his old opponent. Gary Russell is definitely better than Ceja because Russell has some good footwork combined with power, so Magsayo has to match that skills if he wants an upset win in this fight.
Thanks for sharing the site, I'll consider that as one of my bases in looking for the odds availability of this fight.
I see how Magsayo play inside the ring and for me he will win on this because I always believe on Filipino fighter and I always support them no matter what.
Of course, he is really good and it's just nice to see he got support from the Filipino community, and I would not be surprised sooner or later more champions will reight due to that warm support.
By saying support, are you putting your bet as well?

We have 1-1 vote now but that was me who voted for Russell, please don't count that in, I made a mistake clicking it. LOL. Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as Magsayo would win, since Russell is probably the favorites to win here, I want to know how the community vote goes in this fight.
Russell will be the favorite here but looking at the good records of Magsayo, I think he has the chance to win here just like on bis last match though KO might not be possible but who knows. Magsayo is not the underdog here I guess since he’s a good boxer and I’m confident that many bettors will place their bet to Magsayo. I’m with Magsayo here, he’s young and very eager to win.

He has speed, strength and his IQ ring is quite good.
I hope the long pause doesn't make him lose his momentum in this match
I hope so but I like to see more from Mark Magsayo as he is an emerging boxer, a win here will make him a champion which is a big success in continuing to chase his dreams. I'm pretty sure Magsayo realized his mistake in the past, and with that said, I believe he will train harder against this tougher fighter. I hope the long pause doesn't make him lose his momentum in this match

Really? That is funny, I just voted for Magsayo to win the fight so even if we are technically 2-1 on the vote we are actually 3-0, Russell may be the champion but at least to me Magsayo has a real chance of beating him and claim the title, after all I really think the difference in the reach of each boxer is going to be critical in this fight and Magsayo has an important advantage there.

I bet this fight will be fun and exciting to watch soon, because their record and height difference have only small in gaps.
Another challenger from the land of boxers, Philippines, Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo vs. Gary Allen Russell who's also know about his speed and agility.
Magsayo have a 10cm reach advantage than Russell, also their KO rate have a slight gap, 85% and 79% respectively. But I guess it won't be a problem to the American boxer, but hopefully he can really fight well because he been inactive in the ring for almost 2 years this February.

Agree, this would be an exciting fight because knowing that the underdog Magsayo has that puncher's chance of winning his first world title. Even WBC has chosen Magsayao the Prospect of the Year award so I would say that the boxing community has taken notice of MMM's hard work in the ring.
This is a huge fight for him as he is already in the main event, if he wins this one, I'm sure he will get a lot of bigger fights in the future and since he is still young, there's plenty of opportunities that will come to him as long as he keeps winning.
By the way, is the betting odds already available or no yet?

Those two factors could be all what it is needed for Magsayo to win, even if Russell is a champion to spend so much time without fighting is going to affect him, and this is even more true when we think that Magsayo also has an advantage on its reach, in order to counter that you need to know when to get in the range of your opponent and when to get out, this means that Russell will have to be the one that goes at the encounter of Magsayo and this could open a lot of opportunities for Magsayo to counter Russell.

What's your thought on this fight guys.
I have an exciting opinion of boxing them both this time in the ring, America vs. The Philippines, this is great, what more career they have, the name of boxing certainly has its own way to beat its opponent, I honestly don't see Magsayo badly, but Russell has defended his WBC belt five times, most recently by beating Jhonny in 2015.I also haven't seen Russell in the ring since 2020, now he's up and back in the ring against Mark Magsayo in 2022, it must be fun to place a bet for them, I'm also curious what their story will be in the ring, will Russell stay the way he used to be or will Magsayo take the WBC belt instead.

Gerry Peñalosa said that Magsayo is a bad match-up for Gary Russell Jr.
Read the full story.
Gary Russell Jr. a bad matchup for Mark Magsayo, says Peñalosa
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.
While i respect Gerry Penalosa as one of the Philippines pride yet it is only His opinion and we know that actual fight will decide in what is the future of the fight and Mark Magsayo is more than qualify to fight russel in his own strategy but of course MAGNIFICO will face a though fight here .Read the full story.

“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.

Actually, Magsayo is more popular compare to Russell here in this thread.
It's just that, even for locals, we can't really deny the fact that Russell is a big thing and the gap is really wide for the likes of Magsayo. However, it doesn't mean that an upset is not possible to happen.
It's a good show to watch at the start of the 1Q of 2022. I hope more PH boxers will pull some wins next year.

After Magsayo's last fight, he became one of my favorite boxers where I think his opponent cannot underestimate him even though he is winning the fight. As long as Magsayo has some time left, his power is still there that could devastatingly finish his opponent. He has the power to take over the fight in an instant and steal the show from his opponent no matter how his leading the official scorecard. If Magsayo will somehow win this fight with K.O again, then his career will rise and will lift him up to become one of the known and popular boxer in the world.
