Magsayo Prepares for World Champ Fight on Jan. 22

 By Mortz C. Ortigoza

Iconic global boxing trainer Freddie Roach (left, first photo below) prepares the head gear of Filipino's World Boxing Council Featherweight challenger Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo before he hits the punching bag. Magsayo will be challenging the crown of American WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. as the main card of the January 22, 2022 duke-out at Borgata Hotel Casino, Atlantic City in U.S.A. It will be shown on Showtime.

 The Maryland native's Russell has been champion since 2015, successfully defending his belt on five occasions. The Bohol resident and sensation Magsayo scored a career-scintillating victory over former champ Julio Ceja in August to earn his first shot at the championship gold. The duo is two of the world’s best 126-pounders.




Russel has 31 wins where 18 where knock outs (K.O), had one loss from boxing great Vasyl Lomachenko and zero draw. Magsayo has 23 wins where 16 were K.Os, and no loss and draw.

An AMO logo is seen on the t-shirt of Magsayo in the photo. AMO 5 in 1 Solution, one of the sponsors of Magsayo, is a foliar fertilizer, insect repellant, fungicide, growth enhancer, and soil conditioner being sold in the Philippines. The product is a seaweed based, nontoxic, environmental friendly and has no chemical residue on all produce. AMO is thriving now because of the skyrocketing prices of commercial fertilizer in the country.


Former Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol, as quoted on news report, saw the unprecedented soaring increase of fertilizer from P800 to P25,000 for the eight to ten sacks that paddy rice farmers customarily use that gravitate them to use organic fertilizer like AMO.
