    Mel's offense vs Locche's defense.

    Taylor missed far too much against Chavez and it would be worse against Locche, except Locche wouldn`t wear Taylor down the way Chavez did, instead he`s fustrate him, close fight I feel but Taylor was far too easy to hit.

    I think I concur, but the Locche that beat Fuji vs the Taylor that beat McGirt... damn what a matchup!

    Just watched a bit of Locche v Fuji and he constantly had his trailing heel of the floor, I saw a film study showing this makes it easier to move quicker and it aided his slipping ability, brilliant fighter.

    I haven't watched Locche-Fuji in about a year. I'll do so tonight, and study his footwork.

    It's always worth it...I watch that fight at least monthly,...but then, I'm a confirmed Locche fan boy.

    Given the styles, this is an SD kind of fight that boils down to venue for me....I don't think Taylor lands enough to win in Argentina, but I don't think Locche throws enough to win in the U.S.- volume and flash are hard to overcome for pure defensive slicksters on the road.

    This one's going to the cards, but either man winning wouldn't surprise me.
