    Legra may have been able to go one better than Taylor and outpoint Pedroza.

    The eighties featherweights are maybe slightly overestimated in comparison to the group that was around from Davey Moore through to Marcel.

    Though I had Pedroza beating Taylor, I tend to agree Mantequilla. Legra had that Cuban style with the foot movement and long, quick, flashy punching that might do the trick. I definitely see it being close.

    Pedroza was just too rough and dirty for Legra and would take a decision, or maybe even stop him in the 13th or 14th.

    Legra definitely had the 'floating' style to upset Pedroza here. He was never comfortable with taylor as we know. This is a tough call. Depends on how lenient the ref is with eusebio's head and elbows. I might go for Legra on this one- a potential bad match up for pedroza.
