Rigonduex has never gone up against anyone as tough as mathebula. He could win the first 4,5 rounds, but past that it's a different story.
It's hard to say until I seen Rigo in that type of fight, but based on their history I pick Mathebula.
He's underrated in NSB but i dont know how you can underrate the guy who punished celestino caballero
Mathebula didn't do too bad against Donaire, either. You say, "the first 4,5 rounds." Do you think Rigo would tire or lose the thread after that? Guillermo has gone the twelve-round distance a couple of times with no real signs of fading.
So, they weight the same, it is call weight classes not "height classes", Rigondeaux by vicious body shot, he will brake a few ribs too...
rigos 5'4, mathebulas 5'11 @ super bantamweight.
Rigo by ko
Mathebula's height would pose problems for most guys, but Jeff isn't a world-beater. Rigondeaux is a major talent. I have to believe "El Chacal" would deal with Mathebula's height and win.
^all cubans. check check and check.
