THE LOWDOWN
Gary Russell Jr. (31-1) will defend his WBC featherweight world title in this intriguing matchup with Mark Magsayo. The American won the title back in 2014 and has successfully defended it ever since but this will be a tough task. Russell Jr. has an impressive record and can go the distance while also possessing the power to dispose of opponents with 18 KOs to his name.
Mark Magsayo (23-0) has made a wonderful start to his career and the unbeaten Philippine will now go in search of a second of a maiden world title. He has previously held the WBO featherweight international title but this is a step up in class against the dangerous Gary Russell Jr. Magsayo has recorded 16 KOs in his 23 bouts to date and he will believe he has the punching power to cause his opponent problems.
THE PREDICTION
This should be an excellent bout between Gary Russell Jr. and Mark Magsayo as the pair duke it out for the WBC featherweight world title. Defending champion Russell Jr. has been excellent in defending his title in the past and will take some beating but Magsayo looks to have the skills to take his belt away from him. This is a fight that could go either way and it what is expected to be a tight tussle, the judges may be needed to determine the winner.
