Magsayo vs. Russell | Fight Highlights #boxing #boxingvideos #shorts #sports

Mark Magsayo ended the seven-year reign of Gary Russell Jr., defeating the heavily favored American by majority decision to win the WBC featherweight title at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.

The scores were 115-113 on two cards for Magsayo (24-0, 16 knockouts), while the third had the fight a draw at 114-114. Russell (31-2, 18 KOs), a 2008 U.S. Olympian, was making the sixth defense of the belt he had won with a fourth-round knockout of Jhonny Gonzalez, but was fighting for the first time in nearly two years.

“This is my dream. My dream just came true. Ever since I was a kid, this was my dream. I’m so proud that I’m a champion now. Thank you so much to the Filipino fans for the support,” said Magsayo, who was a 4-to-1 betting underdog with some outlets.

Magsayo, a protege of Manny Pacquiao from Tagbilaran City, Philippines, appeared much bigger than Russell, a crafty southpaw from Capitol Heights, Md. Magsayo got off to a quick start in the first two rounds, landing heavy shots to the body, which opened up bigger punches upstairs.

Russell is a good boxer, but he has a problem with accepting defeat. He lost.

Only if you dodged the uppercut ..but you didn't you lost cause you don't side step son

[Whatchutalkingaboutwillis]

Seemed like after that clean uppercut up top and the following MEAN right uppercut to the body and the contineous body shots after that slowed Russell down. It was close at first. But he faded tad bit there at the end. I have to watch the whole fight though to really gauge it.

Russel is just a product of media hype. He's got nothing...

[DaveRamirez-xcez]

Gary clearly lost this fight everyone saw it, he should just accept it.

[TheDearBrotherPodcast]

I was at the fight. I saw Gary get beat with my own eyes. Whole crowd knew it. Gary talks a lot! But that’s about it

[s.g.]

Russel fought dude with one arm half the fight and still gave him problems

[truthhurts]

Bros right hand was clearly hurt. Stop the cap.

[truestory__]

This was another guy who was calling out tank lol

[jasonpettway]

Russell do you want to let his hands go for some reason. mag has a bad habit of leaving his head open, Russell could’ve took advantage of this just seem like he was scared to let his hands go as usual
