Watch Nonito Donaire vs Jeffrey Mathebula Live Streaming Free
Donaire is at his best when he’s countering. He’s shown time and time again a knack for catching his opponents on the way in (as seen most famously in the Darchinyan and Montiel fights). That is not to say he’s totally inept when forced to press, but as seen in his fights with Narvaez and Vazquez, a timid opponent sometimes leads to an impatient Nonito Donaire who resorts to waiting for a tiny opening that will give him the highlight reel homerun punch.
Mathebula comes into the fight as the clear underdog and the unknown commodity. His resume is paper thin, with his biggest win coming in his last fight against Takalani Ndlovu, which was a rematch of a split decision loss in 2010. Mathebula has fought outside of his native South Africa only once in his career, and he lost a split decision to Celestino Caballero in Panama in doing so.
