    Go look at TheGreatA's post and check out the clip Locche The Untouchable. I didnt think any footage of the first fight exsisted, but it must cause the whole 15th round of the 1st fight is one there. Check it out. Locche just clowns Cervantes with his hands at his side... even starts having conversations with the crowd ala Roy.

    The 15th round is there and I'm pretty sure there's more although I haven't seen it but other people have. Locche won every round.

    Locche was amazing against Fiji. I personally think Locche's best punch was his left hook to the body.

    He seemes to avoide punches with timing and anticapitaion. That 15th round against Cervantes may be the best desplay of defensive boxing caught on film.

    Quite possibly, the way he'd counter or even lead with it was brilliant. I think Locche hit slightly harder than people give him credit for.

    It's the case for most defensive-minded boxers in my opinion.

    Whitaker, Benitez and Pep all scored impressive stoppage wins as well, yet the general opinion of them is that they couldn't punch.
