Leona put up a good fight as I hoped, and she fights with good techniques, but maybe a little too by-the-book at first, whereas Ken used brute force to create out-of-the-box situations that defy Leona's expectations. I mean, the madlad used his frozen solid arm as a melee weapon(!) and broke her sword with it... but it's also good Leona could counter him with an arm lock after he broke her sword; having a backup technique for such a contingency is smart and pretty telling, she's definitely a veteran fighter.
