One of my favorite fighters of all time. Defensive wizard it's a shame he didn't venture out on the world scene. He's an Argentine legend, one of his only fights he had outside Argentina he fought Fuji in Japan. The San Francisco Examiner which had great boxing analysis, printed a report for the fight. My grandpa was in the paper that day so he kept it and still has it. So I came across this little story. Anyways, Locche learned how to say "I'll stand right in front of you and you won't hit me" in Japanese. It drew a huge roar from the press who hadn't seen Locche. Anyways, after 10 round of simply being unable to touch Locche, Fuji quit on his stool and kept repeating to his trainer "He stands right in front of me and I don't hit him."

I'll scan the whole story next time I'm at his house. Locche died recently which was sad but it introduced a lot of people to him and a bunch of his fights hit the net at the time. Argentina also rebroadcasted the Fuji fight the day of his death on national TV so that version is on WBVA now. Or at least it was.

CC for the Youtube clip. Locche was a wizard.
