Possibly "to match his skill in boxing". It's a bit of a stretch, but it could refer to the leather boxing gloves.

Vorpar's answer is better than mine. If the two are fighting in a boxing ring then they are most likely wearing leather gloves. To meet leather would imply leather gloves touching - like in a sparing match.

Thanks, John, for the explanation.
Your reply helps me very much to understand the question.
BTW, what do you mean by a sparing match? Is it a match where two boxers hardly attack each other?

Angliholic - OMG, I can't believe that I spelled sparring incorrectly! Please excuse me for this error.
In a practice sparring match, there is usually a trainer and the boxer. Part of the practice match involves the boxer punching a leather covered

Thanks, John.
So, is it right to conclude that a sparring match is a practice match and an exhibition match?

The phrase in question is spoken at 2:32 and it means that Hector needs to start fighting back in order to win the $1000 prize.
