WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney was gleeful on Twitter about WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr losing his world title to underdog Mark Magsayo via a 12 round majority decision
The scores were: 115-113, 115-113, and 114-114.
Post-fight Gary Russel Jr blamed a shoulder injury on his poor performance but Magsayo’s trainer Freddie Roach dispute this – “I didn’t see him hurt with his arm, I didn’t see him stop throwing punches”
Russel Jr still believes he won the fight and told his fans via social media: “I beat that boy ten rounds to 2, 9 to 3, man. I took the old boy to school. Y’all seen what it was”
The unbeaten Filipino Mark Magsayo won his first world title and extends his pro record to 24 wins with 16 KO’s.
