    Nicolino will go for his 3rd straight win during his 'comeback run'. This will by Nicolino's
    toughest opponent by far. Nicolino who is ranked at #9 WBA is taking on Pedro Adigue
    who is ranked one-notch higher at #8 WBA.

    Pedro Adigue of the Philippines is the former WBC Light-Welterweight Champion, from
    {December 14, 1968 thru January 31, 1970}.

    Adigue is an aggressive-boxer, who comes to fight. The Filipino has won '5-Straight' with
    '4' coming by way of Knockout.

    Pedro is currently the OPBF Light-Welterweight Champion.

    This bout was originally scheduled for January 18th, but Pedro had difficulties in Manila
    with his Passport and Visa.

    ~ Nicolino Locche Performs Like Ghost, Decisions Filipino Adigue ~

    Nicolino Locche 'El Intocable' performed like a 'ghost' in the Ring, and was untouchable
    in winning a 10-Round Decision over former WBC Light-Welterweight Champion - Pedro Adigue
    of the Philippines.

    The Argentinian {138 lbs.} fighting before a sell-out crowd of { 16,270 } at Estadio Luna Park
    did his magic, by 'nodding, bobbing, stepping back and bursting forward' to totally confuse
    the aggressive Filipino, and had the visitor swinging at air most of the time.

    Locche 'jabbed-and-countered', while stepping side-to-side and lowering his arms, baiting
    Adigue to swing away. And when he did, Adigue was unable to reach Loche with a single
    hard-blow.

    Though Locche was in control, many of the Rounds were 'close' or 'even', as the Argentinian
    was minimal with his offense.

    On the other hand, Pedro Adigue was tenacious, and attacked aggressively in every Round.
    But the Filipino walked into counters in every Round.

    Scorecards
    * 199-196 > {4-1-5 in Rounds}
    * 199-197 > {3-1-6 in Rounds}
    * 198-197 > {3-2-5 in Rounds}

    Fight Purses
    * Nicolino Locche ....... { $20,000 }
    * Pedro Adigue .......... { $10,000 } plus travel expenses and amenities.

    "I performed well, and gave the Filipino a schooling. He hardly laid a glove on me, and I
    boxed with smart tactics."

    "I would like one more bout before I challenge 'Kid Pambele' {Antonio Cervantes}."

    Pedro Adigue >
    "This is ridiculous scoring. I was the one making the fight, as I was putting pressure on
    him in every Round."

    "He didn't want to fight, and he backed away every time that I moved in. How could he win.
    I will never come back here to Argentina."
