Defensive Fighters

I think I saw it on YT some time ago, and it wasn't complete but what I saw truly amazed me

 

Guzman, Calderon and Clottey to an extent.

 

I can't find it now on the web, only full Locche-Cervantes II from 1973 is available what I noticed. Hope that someone will upload that 1971 bout again.

 

YT had the last round or two of Locche-Cervantes I on a while back..Im sure of it..Cervantes was going all out for the KO and Nicolino was shutting him down.

As for the whole fight...I dont know.

A few more names....

Miguel Lora
Miguel Canto
Marlon Starling
Hilario Zapata
Sumbu Kalambay
Pep from whats available
Fidel Bassa

 

Kalambay and Canto are great picks

Here is the Locche-Cervantes I 15th round:

From what I remember, rest of the fight looked similar but with less acting performances by Nico. I Think that this last round could work as summary of this bout.

 

Too mnay greats ones to list
Pea, Pep, Locche, PBF, Hopkins, Wright, Toney, RJJ, Ali, Calderon, Benitez

 

I wouldnt add Ali to this company. Young Ali was all about speed, dexterity and reflexes in defense. Older Ali was often getting hurt when those reflexes were gone.

 

:good

 

Wright is definitely a level below the very best defensive fighters ever.

 

I had heard his name before, but never took the time to look up any footage on him. Thanks for posting the link. Locche had some great head movement and counter punching in those vids

 

Cristian Mijarez, aside from the Darchynian fight

 

JMM can be a pure defensive counterpuncher when he wants to.

Fernando Montiel is a also defensive minded boxer.

Thats if you are asking about current fighters.
