Comments Thread For: Mark Magsayo Shocks Gary Russell Jr. With Majority Decision, Wins WBC Title

[sicko]

And fight more than once a fughin year

Yeah that is true! He will be a fighting Champion for sure

Cong**** to Magsayo I guess

I do think him winning makes the 126 Division more Entertaining. Him vs Ray Vargas, Leo Santa Cruz, Navarratte all those fights really excite me and can be huge fights

As for Gary, showed he still got plenty left even with 1 Hand, just need to get healthy and active

He should go after Kiko. That's a winnable fight and chance to become a unified champion. Other than that he gets beat by all the other top guys tho.

I don't know how you let a guy constantly spin out to his compromised side, especially if he's not throwing anything. Magsayo showed he can't adjust. He should've been ****ing Russell's liver and make him drop that injured elbow, then bring it upstairs.

I'd say that's more on Roach then Magsayo, Roach is on the outside looking in he should've seen what Gary was having problems with and tell Magsayo how to capitalize on it.

Like I said when Pacquiao lost, you can be older, or you can be inactive, but you can't be both! Great card! Looking forward to February 26th! Gary Antuanne vs. Postol! Gotta get it for the family! MAN UP!

[RuleOfTheSpear]

you got 1 out of 3

Yea, to be fair, the other two were affected by external factors.

nyambayar opponent was a late replacement
russell is injured

Its not Magsayo's fault if Russel did not performed well. Russel knew he cannot win if he trade punches coz of his injury. If Russel did not injured his shoulder, they will may trading punches and there is a high chance Russel will be knocked out... He got speed but he has no power.

Good for Magsayo. GRJ aint fought in damn near 2 years. And barely fought once a year before then.

At some point the fighter should be able to realize what he needs to do. It's obvious he isn't throwing his right and you saw him grimace in pain way earlier in the fight. If he can't take the initiative or is unable to recognize it, then he won't last long at the higher levels. He's lucky Russell was injured.

I called it yesterday when he didn't make weight and its like he has been subconsciously telling everyone that he is going to lose.

2 years off, slight injury, didn't make weight and he hardly sparred for the fight. Gary russel jr should just retire and train his brothers, its obvious he doesn't want this anymore which is ok but brother you can hold that belt hostage.

Wow props to magsayo he's better Than I thought glad he beat Russell who had crappy career all around
