Ray Leonard used the jab and parry the same way SRR used the same tactics vs Turpin (rematch)

    Just had a look at Leonard`s jab against Benitez and noticed how quick it was, Merchant once said Barrera was the fighter who countered the quickest since Ray Leonard and Raay`s counter jab here was really fast,so I had another look at Robi vs Turpin 2 to see if he was just as quick and while he wasn`t his jab was more constant, but I noticed as he jabbed his rear hand was always defending the front of his chin and SRL was doing a similar thing against Benitez, has this been picked on before? Did SRL study Robi and whose jab and parrying was better in the two fights mentioned above?

    So you mean to tell me a great fighter, who had an older even better fighter's nickname, took the time to study the technique and craft of one of the best of all time? Who he was ****ing named after? No. This is just pure coincidence.
