I think it is clear who i am rooting for.

First of all, good match.

Let`s look at how each defined himself during the Great crusade and HH.

Sigismund was hands down one of the best mele fighters of the adeptus astartes, the first emperors champion and High Marshall of the Black Templars, who excel at close quarter combat. The skills and devotion of Sigismund were beyond question, and he was granter the title of `personal champion of the Emperor`, and challenged and killed whatever chaos champion he found during the Battle of Terra, and was essentially the most trusted advisor of Rogal Dorn and his second in command. The primarch himself recommended Sigismund to The Emperor to be His champion.

Abaddon was second in command to Horus, captain of the elite Luna Wolves first company, and the second best fighter in the legion, after Horus. Abaddon also served in some group that gave council to Horus. In body Abaddon was towering and imposing ,in mind however he was only devoted to Horus, and prone to panic and anger. What distinguished Abaddon was the Ulanor Crusade, where he alone, wearing terminator armour, managed survive and kill some elite orc nobs. Abaddon was trusted by Horus and his legion.

These short biographies reveal the following information about them.

As champion to The Emperor Himself it is inferred that Sigismund exceled at one on one battles, as opposed to Abaddon being able to fight many orcs at once with help from other terminators.

Sigismund killed elite chaos space marines, whilst Abaddon killed elite orcs.

The mental state and calm, headstrong behaviour together with his loyalty to the cause place Sigismund as more mentally sound than Abaddon, at any one time.

Sigismund wears armour of The Emperor`s personal champion as opposed to Abaddons terminator armour.

And above all, one thing is made very clear. Sigismund was the champion of The Emperor Himself and Abaddon was the champion of Horus. Which one do you think is it better to serve and fight for?

If it is a one on one, mele combat hands down Sigismund will win. If Abaddon has a gun, again Sigismund will win.
