Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-08-17, some good exchanges between Jessie Magdaleno and Rafael Rivera but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.The former Wbo super-Bw champion Jessie Magdaleno entered this fight with a professional record of 26-1-0 (18 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.9 featherweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Leo Santa Cruz). He suffered his only loss when he faced Isaac Dogboe last year (Jessie Magdaleno vs Isaac Dogboe), but he came back to win against Rico Ramos in 2019 (Jessie Magdaleno vs Rico Ramos).
His opponent, Rafael Rivera, has a boxing record of 27-3-2 (18 knockouts) and he entered as the No.66 in the same weight class. He has already fought twice in 2019 losing to Leo Santa Cruz (Leo Santa Cruz vs Rafael Rivera) and beating David Godinez.
