Comments Thread For: Gary Russell vs. Mark Magsayo - Showtime Tripleheader Official, January 22

[richardt]

Article says Career best victory over Cejia. That was Cejia 3rd consecutive loss.

But it came in a war where Magsayo had to dig deep after biting down hard and producing an explosive KO. That showed he had the grit and heart and some skills if nothing more.

just glad to see Gary back in the ring finally

Yes indeed! Wish he was fighting Tank! Where's Gary Antuanne? He should be fighting 2-3 times a year! I hope he doesn't follow in his Big Brother's footsteps!

Rooting for magsayo. What are the odds on this?

Only thing I saw was from box.live where Magsayo was a +100. No way that is correct. I bet he will be at least +350-400, so if you want to put money on Magsayo, better to wait until the fight nears.

Pasig City is proud to have Magsayo as its based stable.

Make or break for Magsayo.

Petros Ananyan-Subriel Matias II. is going to deliver the goods. The Kazak Batyrzhan Jukembayev, surely was the perfect opponent for Subriel Matias to prepare for this rematch.

Antuanne Russell should start to get some big fights soon, I'm sure not too many people want to just voluntarily fight him though so that could be the issue with a talent like him. He was WBA #6 and their recent December Update he is completely off the Rankings so not sure WTF happened

[Stiffjabzz]

Rumors going around Tank up next for gary! Hope he wins this fight and it's true Ill pay PPV for that,Not no Rollie cruz.

Gary’s lone defeat came at the hands of getting his a(ssss) kicked by Lomachenko who he said he would follow to whatever weight class for revenge until a classic case of memory loss appeared!

Gary Russell has rendered himself irrelevant by fighting only once a year, he's hurt his career dramatically.
His self imposed annual Hiatus is a recipe for how not to proceed with one's boxing career.
So for all of the fighter's pursuing productive career's in boxing don't, I repeat don't follow Gary's path.
Whether this is an misguided attempt of extending his career by preserving his body by fighting less, or he/his
team just doesn't know how to negotiate.
Whatever the case maybe he's never fought the rematch against Lomachenko, or signed for intriguing/exciting
matches against so many other champion's or highly ranked contender's.
Instead of being in the mix, he's in the stick's, it just doesn't make any sense at all to me what really happened here?
