I've watched a fair amount of HL footage of Locche.
Locche vs Duran would've been Amazing. Too bad the age difference was around 15 years.
Locche vs Benitez Also would've been incredibly interesting.
Locche vs Pryor is another Extremely interesting Hypothetical/Dream-Bout.

He looks fantastic defensively however his own attacks don’t seem to be on the same level. I always see clips of him evading but rarely of him doing any damage.

Exactly. He was a spoiler who fought to survive on his home turf and got a lot of shady decisions. People go on and on about his defensive skills but when was he scoring points?? Totally overrated today. If he hadnt been fighting at home his record would be WAY worse.

Yeah. If I'm not mistaken he only has like 14 KO wins out of like 100 something bouts.

So he definitely wasn't a puncher.

It’s good to have your opinion on the matter. I’ve only seen his highlights and it’s all defense. No offence and the punches he does throw seem to be short half the time.

almost like he was in living in "The Matrix" huh ?
btw check out the defensive/evading skills of these 2 "Muchachos" here in this film from 1964.
