How good was Jose Legra's jab?

[scorpio83]

I would please like to know how good was former Featherweight Champion Jose Legra and his jab? Also, when I watched Legra's fights from the video, his arms were longer than 63 inches in reach and his actual reach is more like 73 inches. Anyways, watch his fights and comeback to tell me how good was Legra's jab.

I think it was very good for what he used it for which was more a busy punch to use when bouncing around. He had the length to really use a long jab but also blessed with long, fast legs he was often punching and moving so he never really got a lot of mustard on his jab. I wouldn't call it a world class jab but more of a nuisance, more of a volume jab.

His KO ratio at 34% across around 145 fighrs wouldn't suggest he was a big puncher but he had enough to score a (flash/off balance) knockdown of Eder Jofre and hurt him with a 14th round body shot, a clean and beautiful knockdown of Vicente Saldivar, ravage Howard Winstone and buzz Johnny Famechon on more than one occasion in their fight.

Good analysis on Legra's jab.
