Ryan Garner And Michael Magnesi Make Weight Ahead Of Southampton Showdown

The talking is nearly over. Ryan Garner and Michael Magnesi both comfortably made weight ahead of Saturday night’s vacant WBC interim super featherweight title fight at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium.

Garner tipped the scales at 129.10lbs, while Italy’s Magnesi came in at 129.3lbs, setting the stage for what is easily the biggest fight of the unbeaten Southampton man’s career so far.

The winner will move a significant step closer to a world title opportunity, adding extra importance to an already highly anticipated main event.

Garner has spoken throughout fight week about fulfilling a childhood dream by headlining at the home of Southampton FC, while Magnesi has remained confident that the home crowd won’t influence what happens once the bell rings.

Main Event Ready To Go

Ryan Garner looked relaxed and focused as he weighed 129.10lbs for the 12-round contest.

Across the stage, Michael Magnesi registered 129.3lbs and appeared equally comfortable ahead of his trip into hostile territory.

Both men came in comfortably under the super featherweight limit and produced an intense but respectful face-off afterwards.

For Garner, this is the sort of fight that can change a career. For Magnesi, it’s a chance to spoil the hometown celebration and put himself firmly back into the world title picture.

Edmondson And Arthur Dead Even
