Locche had a good hook to the body, a nice attribute to have against a southpaw. I think Pernell would have been smart enough to go downstairs, and he was a busier puncher. Nicotino was used to that, but coming from a southpaw could make it a bit more interesting. While I believe Whitaker should have the edge, that's with no great conviction, and it could get interesting when taken into the championship rounds, territory he never experienced.
ooooo, tough but i give it to pea. more effective offense and more mutli layered (but not necessarily better) defense. i just see pea having more tools in his toolbox
i'd go for whitaker to win a close decision but he would have to get his tactics exactly right a fight that would won by the brain
