Still a prat, though.

He predicted a shoulder injury and a win over a one handed fighter? :maybe:

I didn't watch the fight, so I was wondering whether the rumours are true about the upset being caused by a robbery?

No robbery. GRJ knew he lost.

Gary Russell: I Out-Boxed, Out-Classed, Out-Skilled Mark Magsayo; At Least 9-3, 10-2

“I won 10 rounds to two, nine rounds to three,” Russell told a group of reporters after suffering his first defeat since June 2014. “I out-boxed him. Hurt my arm – I knew my arm was hurt coming into the fight. You know, I already stated that I had a injury coming in. I just didn’t wanna reveal what the injury was. Caught a slight head-butt early in the fight. But small things to a giant. I still believe that I out-boxed him, out-classed him, out-skilled him, at least, like I say, nine rounds to three, 10 rounds to two, hands down.”

“It wasn’t even a Plan B, Plan C type thing,” Russell said. “It was more so that I knew that my skill set was just much more superior to his. You know, he couldn’t hit me. I was able to land my shots at will. Whenever I wanted to punch, I was able to control the real estate when I wanted to. If he wanted to fire any shots, I would slide in, smother him, take away any type of effective shots that he attempted to try to throw. My ring generalship and everything, my boxing IQ, it spoke for itself. I wonder what the fans got to say about this. I wonder what the fans got to say about the judges is saying, you know, cuz I’m pretty sure a lot of the fans would disagree.”

Magsayo's Promoter: Gary Russell Absolutely Deserves A Rematch; He Fought Gallantly

“I would say Gary absolutely deserves a rematch,” Gibbons said. “He fought gallantly. He fought through a lot of stuff with his father, with his brother’s passing, the injury he sustained in the fight. So, I wanted to say to everybody I believe he deserves a rematch, if it fits into the schedule, and that he’s a classy guy. He really is, man. The guy showed up, fought hurt or whatever it was, so I like the Russell family. I really do.”

“I would never turn down a rematch,” Freddie Roach, Magsayo’s trainer, told Boxing Scene. “But the thing is, we would do it if he was more active of a fighter and so forth, and we could count on it happening not in two years, sooner. He has taken two years off twice now and I think down time is the worst thing in the world for fighters. And it showed in his performance [Saturday night] – it really did. Activity is the best thing for fighters. It’s just the way it is, in my opinion.”

Before round 4, GR is fine, meaning, the injury happens in the fight.
No one was robbed. Magsayo is cautious and very methodical. He stick with the plan, you can sense from his corner that they are not buying the arm i jury. Magsayo won but it should be UD.
Hope you agree.
