Locche

Because one shouldn't let too much time go by without celebrating one of the most unique and defensively skilled fighters that ever laced'em up.

The men he is fighting in these highlights are not stiffs.

ATG Kid Pambele
Journeyman Antonio Ortiz
#5 ranked Domingo Corpas

He was quite the clown, but was a defensive wiz.

I've got about 20 minutes of footage of Locche fighting Carlos Ortiz and he's far less clownish and far more serious in that footage.

Or I think the Paul Fuji fight is on youtube and he's serious business in that one too.

Marbs you were probably there so can you tell me what the orange shit above his eyes was? Think you can see it in the Fuji fight.

I'm not quite THAT old. I don't have any idea. Is it possible it's limited film and a cut mixed with vaseline?

Excellent fighter, I'll admit I'm probably a bit biased as I tend to love watching defensive wizards, but I love how Locche is just able to slip shots so neatly. Shame that he's assumed to be some kind of 60s Sven Ottke by many :(

A guy who gets in the Ring with Carlos Ortiz, Ismael Laguna, Kid Pambele twice, Paul Fuji and Carlos Hernandez is no Swen Ottke ;)

Does the words defense master ring any bells? Excellent post!

It's mind boggling to envision a match up between Locche and Whitaker?
