Locche vs Mancini

15 rounds would be a long time for Locche to be in the ring with a young strong fighter like Ray. He'd make Ray look really bad at times but I suspect Mancini would go to the body to slow him up.

 

Well, the scoring system in Argentina and Brazil, did actually mean you needed to win by a margin of four points to win. It's why Monzon and Jofre have multiple draws on their records.

Although I had no idea about the Oz thing, thanks for letting me know man.

 

He done 15 rounds with better guys than Mancini.

 

Locche was stopped once very late career by an emerging ATG. He thrived on distance fights and usually won them by some margin. I'd take him by decision.

 

Locche was only stopped via a cut eyelid, in the very last stage of his career...by Cervantes, who he clowned and decisioned previously....Ray Mancini doesn't even come close to landing anything important on Locche, nevermind anything sustained. Boom Boom get's comprehensively out boxed and loses widely on points vs one of the top 3 defensive masters of all time.

 

Very succinct and true. A Ray Mancini would come nowhere near beating El Untoccable.

 

Mancini gets very underrated. Gave Arguello a great fight.
Gave Bramble all he could handle.
Beat Ramerez silly who went on to become champion.
Thought he beat Camacho on his comeback.
Point is the guy could fight.
I think he beats Lochee because he never stops throwing and targets the body alot more then most.
Sure Lochee is the grester fighter but styles makes fights.

 

Mancini would fare only marginally better than did Fuji...missing most of your punches in a fight demoralizes you.

 

Well Bramble was actually a 4-1 underdog in that so you'd hope Ray gave him all he could handle.

The scoring was somewhat suspect that night too.

 

I'd certainly favor him Red.

Just on the cut - i don't believe the cut stopped the fight. Locche did not come back out between rounds. He had the cut from the early rounds.

Agree he'd hit the wall by the time he lost to Cervantes in the rematch and he hit it pretty quickly. This can happen to fighters that rely a lot on great reflexes etc.

 

I gotcha bud...you're right too. Keep in mind though by that time Locche had over 100 fights....he was tired...with a bit of scar tissue.
