    Who wins and how?

    I have Locche on points, he had a much better career for me and was a much better boxer, under rated these days.

    I love to watch Locche's defense, but I just don't think he's scoring enough to beat a high work rate swarmer like Pryor. I'm sure he'll make the Hawk look silly in spots, but anywhere outside of Argentina, Pryor wins on points for me.

    Loche was a master and beat some great fighters but Aaron was a star with a lot of energy so there would be some back and forth action and Loche making Aaron look silly at times but Aaron had a good offensive work rate and that would be taken into account as well as Loche's defensive maneuvers and show boat counters...close decision either way

    Locche is the greater fighter, but he doesn't have the pop to take full advantage of the openings Aaron gives up with all his activity.

    Just hard to win rounds when the workrate of both fighters is so different.

    One guy has barely any offence, a basic left hand with no power and doesn't use his legs and the other is an offensive buzzsaw who can mix up his approach, utilise angles and has an iron chin.

    Locche would get battered by Pryor.

    Locche is well overrated.
