Locche. The only man that have gotten me interested in boxing or martial arts in general. And I discovered him only a few years ago.
Dude had a record of 114 wins (only 14 KO), 4 losses (only stopped once and that was near the end of his career) and 14 draws.
He won a title in an era with 8 divisions and only 1 champ per weight class. Today there are 17 divisions and 4+ champions. Dude was the real deal. He just had no punching power, that was his only weakness.
If your interested in him in a bit of more broken down fashion the modern martial artist has a video called "the boxer no one could touch explained". He really in bodied the bruce lee quote of "be like water my friend" there may be many boxers like him like muhammad ali, sugar ray roberson, and leonard that used their dodges to fights back but he is them without a bite but the same flow and that always makes him so interesting to me personally
Thanks for letting me know, and I'll try getting to it soon.
He is very interesting, especially since it doesn't look like he hits hard. Great movement for sure, but hands of sponge coment was hilarious 😂
Best defensive boxer of all time
0:45 clip here holyfield kept headbutting him and it caused a massive swell
3:00 hand's of sponge 🧽 instead hand's of stone 🪨 he had excellent head movement tho
Mí abuelo fue Nockeado por él en realidad golpeaba muy fuerte las primeras peleas de él fue Por Ko y después le dijo a su entrenador que no le veía el sentido así y le dijo que iba a mostrar el Arte de la defensa y así fue y recién ante la Pelea de Fuji si soltó sus manos y le calculan qué lanzó unos 68 golpes por round en esa pelea y acertó todo los golpes al cuerpo y a la cabeza del Japonés hasta que no pudo seguir adelante en el Noveno Round ganó épicamente y le mostró al Mundo porque le decían el Intocable ❤
Totalmente falso, burlaba a sus enemigos profesionalmente, cansandolos y probocando un leve desgaste el mismo, pero pegaba fuerte. Provocaba con técnica y defensa, era una maquina.
Rhythm boxing 🥊💪
La Leyenda del Intocable
Unfortunately the guy described it doesn't no what is taking about...sad such a legend
There is plenty of footage of Locche but not so much for someone who fought over 130 pro bouts, much of it is grainy and incomplete footage.
As others have mentioned, the Modern Martial Artist has aa video on him but it might be worth it to watch a simple highlight video as well (haNZAgod has a good one) even if its just on your own time.
He was a seriously impressive illusive boxer. One thing I’ve noticed is he usually stood in a squared stance, facing directly towards the opponent, which is risky but allows the defender to slip in both directions and gives lots of options. When he slipped punches or was cornered it often put him out of position for the squared stance, where he’d then switch to a bladed stance where he uses a variation of the Philly shell. This switch is a good way to transition between defending different angles and also makes the opponent react to a new defensive style mid-attack. These defensive stances are basically opposites. Opponents probably would probably not have been used to fighting someone who defends like that whereas Locche obviously knew how opponents would react/what punches they would throw in the ring, which often meant that Locche was able to take the initiative from the attacking fighter by, even without throwing punches.
8:12 he's not slippery he has great headmovement there's a difference 😂 he just knew where you we're going to punch I watched the modern martial artist breakdown on him. Plus his stance and timing bro insane
I’ve only seen the vid about him on the channel called The Modern Martial Artist where he does a full breakdown on his style, in that vid he said that his nearly unmatched ability to read his opponents “Tells” (how the other guy moved when throwing punches), his great head movement and skill in using angles that made him into 1 of if not the best defensive boxers of all time. It was only shown for a small amount of time here but once he got his opponents rhythm memorized he was able to lean forward, put his hands at his sides and just dodge the punches with only head movements. His timing and head movement have been compared to Smokin Joe Frazier….just minus the power that Joe had. Part of how he was able to predict and read his opponents punches was his ability to move them to positions that favoured him, therefore limiting what kind of punches that could be effectively thrown and landed while he had his dodging skills to drain his opponents stamina. Wasn’t expecting this vid from you at this time but Happy New Year man.
Happy New Year to you as well!
He was on my list and wanted to see some defense. It was crazy to see how accurate he was in predicting his opponents movements, but it makes sense that he put them in positions where it limits punches.
10:05 no lol not even close😂
The part about him hating training is just kind of true, but innacurate. Locche did train. He explained what happened in an interview in his later years. As soon as he won the title against Fuji, he got overconfident, believed he was invincible, and started slacking on his training. And after a few good title defenses later, he lost the belt against the Panamenian Alfonso Frazer, also a legendary boxer in his weight class back then. Locche never got back into his prime shape, and while he did try to win back the belt against the Colombian Antonio Cervantes, who had won it from Frazer, he was unsuccessful. After that, he fought a handful of exhibition fights, and retiring a couple of years later.
Your first comment and like!
If you wanna watch amazing defensive fighters in other sports, then Giorgio Petrosyan, Oley Kiatoneway and Somrak Khamsing are great watches.
He really is chill. It is said that he would take a nap before every fight, and that in the Luna Park stadium he would often talk to the croud during the fights. Also, he wasn't really a soft puncher as the guy in the video said, he definitely could hit hard. Another thing that I've been told is that he didn't like to punch and hurt other boxers, so he would hit just enough to win. There's a popular legend that says that his crew told him to punch the opponent to end the fight and he replied to them "he has a family too!" as he didn't wanted to damage him.
11:40 If you check out stuff on Tyson Fury; he has some crazy movement like that, which is even more impressive given Tyson Fury's size and sort of gangly looking appearance.
Haha he definitely doesn't look like a typical boxer, but he's winning 🤷🏻♂️😂😅
Yesir
Para pelear con Fuji lo tuvieron q despertar de du siesta unos minutos antes. Se levantó, se prendió un cigarrillo y subió al ring
HAHAHHAHA! He's crazy with those cigarettes 🤣
@@WashedOlympian para la pelea con fuji estuvo en su mejor condicion fisica, ya que se lo llevaron a japon y no se podia escapar por que no conocia a nadie, siempre se dice que el salia a comprar algo y volvia a los 3 dias a su casa
Amazing
you should check gustavo ballas another argentinian boxer, he was trained by locche's trainer francisco paco bermudez
Thanks for the recommendation! I try and get to them soon!
@@WashedOlympian thanks bud
el intocable!! my men we need El Chino Maidana from argentina too and El Terrible Morales from México or Julio Cesar Chavez! 89 - 0!!
WOOO!
I'll do my best to get to all of them my friend!
9:35 no in boxing your not really flat footed most of the time unless your some crazy brawler 😂
You should definitely check out more defensive fighters.
Wifred Benitez, Pernell Whitaker, James Toney, Dmitry Pirog, Lomacenko.
Defence fighters in other sports Oley Kiatoneyway, Silapathai, Jaroenthing Kiatbanchong.
Thank you for the recommendations! I'll try and check them out, but I've watched James Toney! It's on the channel. You should check it out!
10:03 Locche wasn't trained by Cus D'Amato or any of his students, so no.
The best defensive boxer of all time, his defense was better, better than ali, better pernell whitaker, better than floyd, better than toney, better than everyone
When it comes to Pernell and Floyd I think that's definitely up for debate.
Ouuuu! Those two will be seen soon! So many boxers! Hahah
@@combatsportlover6919 definitely, but he's just simply better, I'm saying this because I know all of their styles thoroughly
@@WashedOlympian yep
@WashedOlympian definitely gotta see pernell dude, he looks like ultra instinct too
Do you realize how hard it is to stay on your toes for 15 rounds.
Very hard
You need to check out Emanuel Augustus. Also known as the “drunken master” in boxing.
Riiight! He's the drunken master haha. Is it similar to Jackie Chan? 😅😅😅
Please review the drunken master.
Who's that? 🤔
@@WashedOlympian Emanuel Augustus
Thank you!!
10:06
No it isn't. His style is closer to Floyd then to Mike Tyson. Though Floyd is actually a harder puncher then Locche.
And of course they mentioned the Shoulder Roll immediately after which Floyd was a master of.
Ohhh! I haven't seen anything on Floyd, so that's on me for comparing Mike Tyson instead of Floyd. Also, did Mike Tyson use it more offensively or is Peek-A-Boo completely different than the shoulder roll? I mean, of course, but what I'm asking is, how close was I to the Tyson comparison 🤔😅
@@WashedOlympianshoulder roll and peek a boo is 2 completely different things
@@WashedOlympian You weren't even 1 percent close
Don't believe that he didn't have a hard punch what this guy is saying is just for entertainment purposes. He's not being accurate. If you look at the punches he throws they are hard and on point. If this guy thinks he had the punching power of a malnourished toddler I hope he could have a chance if he was alive today to go in the ring with this guy. I think it would change his mind. If he was very disciplined who knows what he could have achieved.
