Arturo Gatti .Vs. Nicolino Loche

[la-califa]

Who would win this bout at 140? Might be an entertaining bout if Gatti's eye's don't cut too badly. 15 Rounds.

[Quickhands21]

Locce would school the brakes off of Gatti.Locche by domination

[Sweet Pea]

:lol:

[Executioner]

Oh gee, what a tough fucking fight to predict.

[MagnificentMatt]

What....?

[TommyV]

:lol:

Yeah, pretty much.

Locche would school him.

[Xplosive]

Locche would wipe his ass with that scrub.

[Robbi]

Is this a joke? Contrasting styles pitted against each other. Locche via a very wide points decision.

[Rock0052]

Locche takes a very wide points decision, and Gatti's pride while he's at it.

[lfsdan]

LOL. See Fuji vs Locche, except for it could be much worse. You think Mayweather schooled him?... Jesus, Locche would make him look like a complete clown. We are talking about the greatest defensive fighter of all time possibly here against one of the most hittable fighters of the last 20 years. HMM really have to think hard

[lfsdan]

AND BTW a prime Locche at 140lbs was pretty damn close to being unbeatable. I would be hard pressed to pick many fighters from boxing history to beat him at that weight. Not bad for a guy who smoked cigarettes in between rounds.

Cigarettes seem to make certain people superhuman.

Monzon, anyone?

Locche would not have dominated Gatti any better than Mayweather did. If you prefer Locche's style to Mayweather's then the manner of domination might be suited to a certain indviduals taste. Mayweather thrashed Gatti for every second of every round in convincing fashion and hardly took a glove in return. He also retired him via TKO.

Not bad for a guy who smoked cigarettes in between rounds.I disagree. I think Locche is about as beatable as an ATG gets. I see him getting beaten by quite a few aggressive fighters from 135 to 147lbs. Some who aren't even ATG's themselves, like, as I've said before, Ricky Hatton.

You actually believe Hatton would have beaten him?

[heehoo]

Locche by wide UD.

Monzon, anyone?

Perhaps me too? I should try it :hey

[teeto]

Locche all-day. Locche would beat Hatton, check out how well Locche blocks body shots, and see how Hatton seemed more and more seemingly unable to create things for his power shots against Mayweather, against Locche, let's just say, if Locche fought Hatton, Ricky would go right out and try and find one of them laser thingys from Men In Black that erases your memory.

[Sweet Pea]

Hatton is far too poor on the inside to deal with Locche, who had more than his share of crafty little inside tricks to go with his phenomenal defense. I do agree though that Locche's style, while pretty much perfected, is a bit too limited to have dealt with the very best at around 135-140.

[sweet_scientist]

Gatti by shut out.

Carlos Ortiz did him.

If anyone could get a stinker of a fight out of Gatti, it might be Loche.

Loche WU15 (11-4)

That´s why he lost to Argentine journeymen like Laudonio, had draws with fighters with less than 10 fights, hometown- decisions against Laguna and an washed up Ortiz, woah, yeah, he´s unbeatable...



to answer the thread- question, Gatti at 140 lbs didn´t have the power to hurt Locche, he would lose a lop-sided decision IMO (119-109)

[Luigi1985]

Some people seems to forget, that Locche´s defense looks brilliant against fighters like Fuji (who had great one-punch-power, but nothing else), but against solid fighters like Henrique he didn´t look that great.

[la-califa]

We are talking about the greatest defensive fighter of all time possibly here against one of the most hittable fighters of the last 20 years. HMM really have to think hardGatti wasn't always that Bum who was slapped around by Mayweather. By the Mayweather fight Gatti was completely shot. In his prime Gatti was a good,fast give and take fighter. he might not have the skill to beat Loche, but he has the determination to at least give it a good fight & anything can happen in the ring, as you all know.

That makes no sense, some people see in Gatti a bum with some power and a great heart, they forget that Gatti wasn´t a 147 lbs or 140 lbs fighter, with Locche it´s the opposite, he was without a question a very good/ great fighter, but he wasn´t Whitaker-like, no way.

A fighter must be willing to go to War. A couple of years earlier at 135. Mayweather would have had his hands full, with Gatti.

Yes, I know what you mean, and I completely agree. I just wanted to say, that people underrate Gatti because they just seem to remember him at the higher weights...

[tommy the hat]

EL intochable by a lopsided decision or cut stoppage

[KOTF]

Locche pitches a no-hitter after this one
