Clips of Nicolino Locche found on YT

locche was awesome. one of those extremely rare fighters who make the defensive part of the game incredibly fun to watch.

 

yo that ref was round as ****

 

ref was soo fat!

 

Unbelievable fighter. Looks like a janitor, you never expect to see that kind of upper body movement even though you know he has it. It's almost a surprise everytime

 

Ref looks like Lou Duva on a 2 week binge.

What a fun fighter. That guy is a trip.

 

Incredible how Locche was just able to sit in the pocket and make his opponent miss time after time.

 

Not only that but seemingly NEVER miss a counter shot time after time.

 

I saw Locche's name in the IBHOF and decided to check out any existing footage of him. I was shocked to see what essentially was the precursor to Sweet Pea. Extremely slick, poised and practically unhittable(El Intoccable indeed). What was shocking was how hard to hit at point blank range he was. The fact that he had minimal punching power actually made it worse for his opponents because he simply wasn't gonna get rid of you. You'd have to either suck it up and miss all fight long while getting countered or like one of his opponents did just give up out of fatigue and frustration.

 

Never seen this before! Thanks a million Boxed Ears added to my HDD:good

 

Those are the kind of skills you can only acquire if you have the kind of innate intelligence and wherewithal that a genius posesses. Locche was indeed a ring genius, perhaps the most well schooled and intuitive defensive technician to ever fight, with a wealth of ring experience to perfect his technique.

For those who haven't seen his fight with Takeshi "Paul" Fuji, it's up on Youtube. Easily the best footage of Locche available in full. The definition of the word "masterclass". Mesmerizing stuff.

 

That highlight is a thing of beauty really made my night watching these. Amazing stuff
