    I don’t think Chava has fought anyone as slick and fast as Legra who was practically a mini-Ali in style. How does Sanchez handle the movement of a guy like Legra?

    Hi Flo.
    Intriguing match up, don't think I have seen before, if it's over the 15 round route, then I see Sanchez as a winner, think he would be to big, and strong for Legra, and for most FWs come to that, whether Jose can make it to the last bell, not sure, if he does he would have taken a beating.
    stay safe buddy, chat soon.
    Mike.

    Whooa! What a matchup. Not the fighter I would have chosen for Sanchez if I was his manager. Sal always had a tough time with the boxer and thrived against the banger. Legra possessed dimensions and style reminiscent of Patrick Ford only Legra was far more experienced against every style. He went 15 rounds 7 times in his career and knew his way around a ring. I feel it would go the distance and wouldn't be putting my hands in my pockets at a betting window on this fight.

    Legra could very well present the same issues that Ruben Castillo and Patrick Ford gave to Sanchez who had to bite hard to earn a hard fought decision. Question is if Legra can do enough to win by decision or if he gets unlucky and loses in a very tight fight like against Eder Jofre.

    Sanchez by controversial decision.
