Fight Week

Another sparse boxing weekend with just one major event on the schedule.

Saturday, January 22
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, NJ

Rarely seen WBC featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr. defends his world title against WBC mandatory challenger Mark Magsayo headlining a good tripleheader on Showtime Championship Boxing.

The telecast also features a 12-round rematch between super lightweight contenders Subriel Matías and Petros Ananyan in the co-main event, plus featherweights Tugstsogt Nyambayar and Vic Pasillas squaring-off in the 10-round telecast opener.

      • I remember I believe it was ESPN tried to build Smith into a legit contender I believe he fought out of Tulsa Ok

    • You know, they’re pretty comparable but, ridiculously, Russell has him beat. Thurman started fighting about 14 months before Russell, Thurman has 31 fights and Russell has 32.

  • Oh yeah, Gary Russell still fights…Easy to forget when you only fight once a year needing extra money in the checkbook.

  • I am going to this event at The Borgata in Atlantic City. First live fights that I have seen in a long time. Rooting for Magsayo, nothing against Mr. Gary Russel, Jr.

  • I am not going to miss it because the explosive rematch Subriel Matias vs Petros Ananyan !! Subriel deserved a title shot although is a good thing to revenge his only lost against the rough armenian Ananyan. Go Subriel !!! , one of the most exciting fighters today, he reminds me Felix Trinidad a little bit. For Gary Russell I don’t wake up early in the morning in Spain to watch fights…maybe I will do it for his youngest brother Gary Antuawn Russell that has everything to became world champion.
