Nicolino Locche - man what an enigma!

A lazy trainer, who chain-smoked cigarettes in between rounds - one of boxing’s least athletic looking champions - yet the first thing you’re taught in boxing is to not judge a fighter by their looks.

Locche is the perfect example of this - in 136 fights, he only lost four times. He beat hall of famers in Antonio Cervantes, Joe Brown and scored draws with great World Champions in Ismael Laguna & Carlos Ortiz!

Here he defeats dangerous punching Japanese World Champion, Takeshi Fuji to win the WBA Light Welterweight World Title, which he would hold for four years!

I think this is the greatest defensive performance we have in full, on camera in boxing! Maybe Pep’s masterclass against Saddler, yet that win want filmed.. Floyd looked spectacular in many fights defensively, Sweet Pea schooling Jose Luis Ramirez springs to mind. Yet Fuji was so aggressive, which played perfectly into the ‘Hand’s of Sponge’ - Locche!

Amazingly, Locche only ever scored 14 KO’s - TKO’s, this was one of them.

So much to learn from this fight
