Eder Jofre training and a small Footage of his fight with Leo Espinosa..New video now

:goodFoda. Valeu.

 

When I first got into boxing there was seemingly hardly any footage whatsoever of Jofre. More enthralling stuff here, cheers Vic.

 

Any Jofre is appreciated. I really want to see the whole fight between he and Caldwell.

 

Class A thread Vic..thank you!

 

Oh how you taunt me...

There's like 10 seconds of it on YouTube although I would ask- when didn't Jofre look spectacular?

 

A bit of an odd one, if Laguna had fought Jofre before he outgrew bantam how would he have got on? Green, but ranked no.2 by The Ring behind only the champion from Brazil, and as we know the Panamanian was an iron man and skilled boxer who took on the best at feather and was one of the best lightweights of his era. At bantam his best win was probably Jofre's old foe Eloy Sanchez. Jofre had stopped him in six, Laguna a few fights later in 4.

Jofre had just taken the title, beating Caldwell and Medel and in '62 it would've been a great matchup despite Jofre being in his absolute prime and Laguna being way off his. Knowing Laguna I'd expect him to put on at least as good and most probably superior showing to the also very good Caraballo(surely El Tigre would go the distance?! Even then!).

 

great footage Vic!

 

I think Jofre would be much stronger at the weight as well as more refined and experienced. I could see a beanpole Laguna punching very sparingly down the stretch and being outpunched.

 

One things that impresses me in all the clips of Jofre is his body attack, he really dig there with both hands.
