Nicolino Locche ~ "The Comeback"

[Bill Paxtom]

~ Antonio Cervantes vs. Nicolino Locche 'II"

~ The Bout ~

Both fighters looked physically fit. The Champion - Antonio Cervantes would have a 3" Height
and 5" Reach advantage, to go along with youth {6 years, 3 months younger} speed and new
found power.

The 5' 9" Cervantes, now had a more muscular upper-back in his thin body.

Nicolino Locche looked his typical self, with a thick upper-body, to go along with his natural
brute-strength.
