does anyone know anything about this boxer please as I have about 7 press photos of him boxing against other boxers.

[Beanflicker]

Of course, what do you want to know? One of the TRUE defensive wizards in boxing history (not overrated ones like Willie Pep), right up there with Pernell, Toney, Floyd, ect. One of the greatest 140lbers of all time, a personal favourite of mine.

From what I read he was a true natural talent. Didn't like to train, was a heavy smoker all through his career, just a guy who was absolutely born to box.

[andy20066]

need to know how popular he was and if there would be any interest outside his home country

[Kirkland Laing]

Yep, plenty fags, liked a beer, didn't have much of a work ethic when it came to training. Some fantastic videos on Youtube.

I never saw him fight but older posters here said he was very skilled and a great skilled boxer.

What are these clippings you have and what did you want to know? He fought in the shadows of Monzon and could never get in the front seat. He was an absolute genius in the ring who humiliated his opponents instead of knocking them out. You might want to do a little research yourself as its not all that difficult.

If you have actual press clippings of the guy from those days and are trying to sell them then screw all the ebay crap and stick them in kijiji specifically in Argentina.

Just the type of fighter you don't want young fighters to hear about. Lol

He couldn't defend himself on the inside, he shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as guys like Locche, Pernell, Toney, and Floyd.

Whole-Heartedly Agree With The Previous Post

Nicolino Locche

A physical-brute, who was built like a Brick-Mason Laborer. Nicolino, besides having
an incredible defense, could take a tremendous punch to the face or body.

Willie Pep, could not.

Against who? Saddler? You should know that defensive fighters usually have trouble with good pressure fighters. I've seen Floyd struggle many times when a fighter pressured him.

Yeah, but have you seen Floyd, Pernell, or James Toney get hit clean with any consistency on the inside by a pressure fighter? Maidana and Castillo gave him rough fights, they bullied him but they weren't hitting him clean. As soon as Saddler got inside on Willie Pep he ate him alive, it was easy work for him. Willie Pep was fast, he could run and dart in and out, good for him. He's not in the same discussion as Locche, Toney, Floyd and Pernell. They could all do that shit too, but they could protect themselves on the inside.
