Apologies if it's been done before.

Prime for Prime, 15 rounds-who wins?

Hm, that would be one for Luigi - where is he btw? He knows plenty about Loi. I have not seen enough of both to give a relevant answer but I know that this would be quite competative.

I've seen about 4 mins of Loi in action (in the Johansen and Famechon fights), and I can't tell much from that. I think it would be close though. A battle of cagey fighters, one a more defensive specimen, the other a more attacking kind. I'd probably favour Loi in a close points win but if it happens in Argentina, with the crowd hollering, chanting and laughing their asses off when Locche clowns Loi, it will be hard for Duilio to get the decision.

Probably because hardly anyone has seen anything of Loi sadly.

Also, putting anyone you are not very familiar with together a guy like Locche is impossible. It's not like you're putting Loi in with a predictible if class fighter like De La Hoya.

How about Locche v Tszyu?

I'll start a new thread.

There is much less available footage of Loi than there is of Locche, which is why most folks probably don`t want to give an opinion or prediction. But I`ll go out on a limb and say Locche wins, Loi from the little footage that is available is clearly not the aggressive, high punch output boxer-swarmer that he is made out to be and he isn`t a southpaw either. He could switch between both orthodox and southpaw but he was right handed and fought out of the orthodox stance most of the time. I think Nico`s defensive wizardry would have given the Italian fits all night long and would see him win a close decision over fifteen rounds.

Considering how the both of them fared against Ortiz I'd say Loi was likely a fair bit more than you give him credit for here, or what is shown in the bit of footage of him that exists.

If I were making a pick I'd choose Loi clearly based off of what we know, as it's likely he beat Ortiz in all three of their bouts according to accounts, and Ortiz was a superior fighter overall to Locche and should've won their bout by all accounts. I understand it's not as simple as A beats B and therefore B beats C, but I think Loi at his best had to have been a much more effective fighter than what is shown by the very limited footage, given how he fared throughout his career and against a certified ATG in Ortiz.

All valid points SP and believe me what you wrote did cross my mind before I posted my own thoughts on who I think would have won. I just felt like making a prediction since no one else was seemingly willing to do so, and while I may well be wrong at least I went out on a limb and took a shot in the dark and picked Locche on points. There is more footage of Loi out there and I was gonna get a hold of it which would have allowed me to have a clearer picture of just how good he was, alas the deal fell through and I wasted quite a bit of time in the process.

Yep thatīs it. Luigi85 was a guy who knew plenty about Loi and also had some knowledge about Locche. I think he could have given us some good insights to this fight. Sadly, he isnīt posting on here anymore.

BIG DEE HERE= Loi would win as he would be in Locce grill all damn night.
Loi was one of the best fighters in the last 50 yrs of the little men his ability was finely recognized when he was elect to the Hall of Fame in 2005. His fights to win the Jr Welter title twice was against two Hall of Famers in Carlos Ortiz
and the recently elected Eddie Perkins. With a record of 115 W 3 L 8 D ( 26 KOs) Loi was an excellent Pressure-Boxer with a excellent left hand.
The Lightweight champions of the period wouldn`t step into the ring him
so he fought Ortiz for the newly brought back Jr Welterweight title.
Duilio Loi by 15 rd dec over Locche.
