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.

Almost everywhere else the favorite to win this fight was Russell but here in the forum people were thinking that Magsayo did actually have a chance to pull the upset and he did, while some did out of a sense of nationalism to try to support the fighter that came from the same country quite honestly there were a lot of red flags with Russell that indicated that an upset was possible, and I am happy that Magsayo was able to take advantage of them.

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.

yep, finally we see a new world champion here and with this I'm very happy Cheesy

IMO, it's not a matter of age now because indeed when it comes to age he is still very young.
but indeed in this match we can see how age and experience don't really matter much in this match and magsayo's power is really crazy in this fight.
Congratulations to all of us who are in the gamble magsayo we should rejoice over this

^^ I think Magsayo knows about the shoulder injury that's why he really push the tempo of the fight because he knows that Gary can't keep up with him because of the pain in his shoulder. And I'm so glad that Magsayo won although the score in one judge is questionable for giving the fight a draw. Nevertheless, Magsayo's dream was fulfilled in this fight to become a world champion.

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.

The judge that scores the draw is questionable given the compu box results but this is boxing a lot of controversies when it comes to going to the judges' score, Magsayo is being very careful because he knows he is fighting a strong fighter with a very good experience but like all the opinions here he is indeed lucky, Gary Russell can call a rematch if there is a clause in their contract, the argument is he is not 100% although it's not Magsayo's fault.

As always, they would favor the champion but not enough cheating for this fight. Scoring a draw is insane, they see that the champion is only fighting with one hand and there's no way he could win as Magsayo is also fast and fierce in the fight, maybe next time the favor would go to Magsayo as he is the current champion.

I think it will be blatant cheating if the judges score the fight for Russell as it is very clearly that Magsayo did enough to push the fight and hit Russell cleanly specially in the later rounds.

If for reasons, the judges score it for Russell, for sure there will be a lot of uproar and those judges are going to be in the hot seat for that decision. So they can't allow that except maybe for that one judge who have it a draw. So the reign of Russell has come to an end. Bring Leo Sta Cruz next for Magsayo, sure as hell that will be a entertaining fight.

I like the LSC fight, but let's see, give time for Magsayo to celebrate his win when he goes home to the Philippines. Even the great Manny Pacquiao has sent his congratulatory message to Mark as he manages him.

As I have said before, I suspected that it is a shoulder injury and Russell aggravated it more (I forget what round it is), but you can clearly see that he is wincing in pain and can't throw any decent punch.

I think that was in round 4, and after that, he was already struggling. Good thing Magsayo starts aggressive, and he hit the shoulder of Rusell. Maybe he already knows that Rusell had an injury on his right shoulder and he really targeted it, a dirty move but it was a smart move just to win.

I'm sure Magsayo has learned from that fight although he gets the championship. He was too emotional during the post-fight interview, he said it's been his dream since he was still a kid to become a world champion, now that dream was already achieved, what's next for him?

Looks like the majority of us here are correct with our prediction on who will win the fight.

72% voted for Magsayo and I presume that these people also put their bet on Magsayo.
Can you guys confirm if you won your bet in this game?

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.

He got lucky the 2nd time around, the last match, he was lucky he hit his opponent with a solid punch that resulted in KO, this time he got the champion injured so it was easy for him to attach the beat the champion. Magsayo should be enjoying his success now, but next time he should improve his defense and his footwork, he needed that against a stronger challenger.

In the last match, its not luck it's a knockout waiting to happen Magsayo possesses a knock out power and Ceja is moving close without much defense and in this match, Russell throws an awkward punch that resulted in a shoulder injury because Magsayo has a good movement that made him throws an awkward punch, Magsayo is fast and posses a power, although it could be different results if Russell did not hurt his arm.

I agree, Magsayo may not be a complete fighter but his power is very dangerous, he could struggle in the early rounds but he knows how to keep his stamina and that he still have some power to knock out an opponent, that's exactly what we saw in his fight against Ceja.

Right, we even discussed that a couple of post back. That if Magsayo will have to win, it should be in knockout because the judges might be biased for the champion.

And that's what we witnessed, it was very close score and even one judges from the looks of it wanted to salvage Russell by scoring it a draw. Thankfully, the two judges score it for Mark because they can't do anything about it because Russell was not putting a show and his volume is very low. But no matter what they say, a win is still a win.

Kudos to Gary Russell that despite the injury, he didn't let Magsayo have an easy win and was able to finish the fight at the end. For those who he will say that it's an excuse, no it's real. He even got a draw score on one of the judges. But even without the GRJ's injury, Magsayo always has the chance to upset the champion.

Moving forward, Magsayo now becomes a part of the champion club of PH boxers in history. Manny Pacquiao already congratulated him right after the fight.

Gary Russell is known as a boxer with a volume boxer this is the first time I've seen him with the lowest output, according to one article

Quote

Russell fought the majority of the fight with one arm and was only able to throw 27 punches per round, a far cry from his usual average of 72 punches thrown per round.

He really has an injury prior to this fight and it was aggravated in the early rounds of the fight, but Magsayo did not take that opportunity to overwhelm Russell, who showed great footwork and experience to avoid Magsayo's attack, I like to see a rematch Russell deserves a rematch because he was not 100% into this fight.
