Donaire vs Mathebula Live Streaming on July 7, 2012. Watch here guys for free online.
Just a few hundred miles south on July 7, Donaire will risk his crown for an opportunity to unify titles against IBF champion Jeffrey "Marvelous Mongoose" Mathebula of South Africa at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California to be televised on HBO's Boxing After Dark, and available on live streams all over the internet.
As expected, the Ring Magazines' #4 ranked best pound-for-pound fighter in the world Donaire is heavily favored to hurdle Mathebula by the savviest of boxing observers. But Mathebula is far from the dead underdog he is being portrayed in most boxing betting lines that have pegged Donaire as high as a 14-1 favorite to win.
Mathebula stands 5'10", at least four inches taller than Donaire, and a wingspan proportionate to Kevin Durant. Translation: He's tall and has a significant reach advantage. In addition, the former 2000 Athens Olympian knows how to box and utilize his advantages.
