It would be worse in Argentina. Nicolino Locche was in another class.

I could see Hatton keeping it close here just by being far more active offensively, but Locche would certainly be more accurate and not take many clean shots. Still though he'd have to respond with offense of his own, and I suspect he'd either do just enough of that to win a narrow decision or possibly get a draw.

Hatton would fight like he wants it more, Locche is just a hard guy to take it from no matter how much you want it.

Locche was simply too good for Hatton. Would have taken a rare scenario for Hatton to have won.
