    Damn this guy from argentina looked like fun,what a record 117-2-14 (14 KOs),and while obviously not a big puncher,his skills in these few vids are great,also seems to have influenced a number of modern day fighters with that style,was a jr welterweight world champ for 4 years with 6 defences,any one got any more info,kind of heard the name but only just seen the vids

    One of my favorite fighters, he's a blast to watch if you're in the mood to see defense. I wish he would've been born with a punch- he'd have been unstoppable. His best performance was probably in Cervantes I, where by nearly every account I've read, he shut out a HOF fighter. Because footage of that is so hard to come by (I'd love to see it if someone could hook me up, I've only seen the 15th round that's in the YT video), his masterclass is remembered as being when he fought Paul Fuji for the title. He went over to Japan, which nobody really expected, and just flat out dominated him. It's a shame we don't have any real prime footage of him.

    It looks like his defense is effortless almost like he's not even trying.

    Nicolino Loche was another one of those great Argentinian Italians, he had great defensive skill and look at who he made look amaturish (the Great KID Pambelee, Antonio Cervantes) look at his record and see who he beat..some good ones
