Nicolino Locche vs. Alexis Arguello @140

Alexis Arguello is one of my new favorite fighters of all time. I think his style would suit well to disrupt locches incredible rythm because alexis was very smart and calculated, and would not over commit himself to fall into locches traps

 

Alexis i think much preferred fighter who came to him, he always knew where to find them, what he didnt like was speedy movers who would lead him a chase, Ernesto Marcel and Vilomar Fernandez both led Alexis something of a Dance, and come out on top on points, In Nicolino he would be facing a veritable Ring "Houdini" Whereas Ernesto and Vilomar would scamper around the ring toevade Alexis, Nicoline can make the punches miss not with legwork, but also with extraordinary upper body movement, of course wher he made a career of evading wild swings from opponents, he will not have encountered anound with quite the precision of Alexis, so he woukld have to be on Red Alert at all times,

But when you combine his excellant movement ability, with that upper body evasiveness, i think it spells out a frustrating Evening for the mathodically aproaching, precise, but no surprises, Alexis, it could be that Alexis would floor Nicolino Early with one of his streight rights, But i would then expect Nicolino to "Shut Up Shop" Jab & Grab, Hit and Flit and generally stay out of Alexis's cross-hairs from that point on, to Leave Alexis a Pursuing half step behind, to (sometimes Literally) run out a close but clear points winner, with a frustrated Alexis, simply a victim of Styles, (albeit with no one quite like Nicolino)

 

Loche is very underrated, I say he makes Arguello look foolish missing, outboxing him to a wide UD, he just had the style and amazing ability to pull off such a feat

 

This would be a very close and entertaining fight which could go either way.

Alexis didn't like boxers. But then, I think about how Antonio Cervantes, a tall and rangy guy with good boxing skills and great power, ultimately came out on top against Nicolino - a favourite of mine.

If pushed to take a choice, I feel that Arguello, a rangy fighter with better skill and power than Cervantes would prevail over Nico - say in 2 out of 3 fights.

 

Locche would not win this.He wasn't very mobile and if you try to stand in front of AA you are going to get it.Lets remember AA was a vicious body puncher and why Locche is very elusive he can't move his body.

 

...........I have neve seen Locche fight, and can therefore render no opinion.

You only wrap the last letters/numbers at the end(after the "v=") in the tags.

 

..............Thanks for that, S_S......I saw that link, and then went to see the five-part nine round TKO loss to Cervantes in its entirety. I sometimes forget how righteous it is to have hi-speed internet now.

I know the loss to Cervantes probably isn't representative of him as a whole, so I'll reserve judgement for now.
