Video of the Fight.

Looking at the full video the left jaguar looks larger but even then the right male is most likely heavier

I respect your opinion and I would agree if you said the left jaguar may look taller, but I don't think Mancha Preta looks larger in the video. Even from that angle with Mancha Preta's back towards the camera sight, the height on the shoulders looks similar and Mancha Preta could even be a bit  taller than Colombiano but when it comes to the comparison GirthWise, the Head size (noting the muscular jaw cheeks on both its clear which one got the bigger head) and specially the Chest it shows a significant difference bar the sheer body mass comparison.

Not the best comparison but you can see both felines bellow even Mancha Preta being closer to the camera I still think FrameWise and GirthWise (Head, Neck, Chest) Colombiano is the larger feline to me even him a bit far from the camera, his frame still screams huge. But as you see up close Mancha-Preta is a rather stocky feline, now regarding HeightWise I think it could go either way as its shown in the video.

Colombiano was a tank and Mancha Preta was a very fit and muscular jag and when it comes to fighting, size doesn't matter to him.

Colombiano

Although having huge frame Colombiano's head still looks rather cartoonish related to his already big body when he is lying down in this video GIF bellow and as he stands up and walks away you can see the whole package.

On top of that if Images comparisons don't do enough justice, Onças do Rio Negro Project had first hand sightings of both individuals in the area of Barranco Alto - Rio Negro and they even captured one of them and stated the other as a possible near 150 kg specimen, that alone gives us a good idea outside of these video/images on who's the larger feline overall.
