It's very much expected that Russell will be the favorite here, a significant one most probably. Magsayo has been eyeing for a higher level fight but I guess he is not really that ripe for a top-caliber fighter. I'm not saying that's exactly Russell but he could very well be.
Magsayo's latest KO win over Ceja in the Manny-Ugas bout was more of seeing what he needed to improve than seeing what he has already got.
But let's see. For sure, Magsayo deserves a good opponent. Russell is the man. And considering that Russell will be facing Magsayo after a two-year period of inactivity, it would be to Magsayo's advantage.

Nice, another good Filipino boxer is once again given the chance to get a title.
Mark Magsayo would have to deal with Gary Russell's speed, not sure though if Gary still possesses that speed, but when he broke out to the scene, one assets he has is that he has quick hands.
But I think Magsayo will have a good chance because I will rate his power above Russell, Gary has the superior speed by Mark punch packs power.

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.
