Locche UD

Locche wasn't much of a hitter so he probably wouldn't KO Khan, and Khan ain't too shabby as far as Boxing skill goes so he'd make it somewhat competitive, but Locche would win comfortably.

Locche, something like 10-5 in rounds

That's a very good opposition !

Amir Khan is a great technician and I consider him to be still a pretty underrated fighter. Sadly he never had quite the chin or the championship quality to make a lot of mistakes during his fights. Nicollino Locche for what I know had a decent enough chin for what I know of (At least he took those 3 hooks at the end of the 6th round against Fuji really well ... The only ones he did take in the whole fight I believe)

We don't have a lot of clean material for Locche and that's a shame because the man was a master. I believe that the night he beat Fuji to win the light-welterweight championship he was the greatest. To make the Japanese world champion quit out of frustation and exhaustion at home you gotta be some fast and smart mf.

Locche has a built-in radar for punches in his brain, he is a super-human to me. Despite all of Khan abilities I really can't give him any chance to score a lot against Fuji and there's no way he will KO him with a lucky combination.

Great styles match. I think Locche would win a close decision. He was great at having elusive head movements. His long left hook was an interestingly effective punch.
