Nicolino Locche (September 2, 1939 – September 7, 2005) was an Argentine professional boxer who held the World Junior Welterweight title from 1968 to 1972.[1] Born in Mendoza, Locche turned professional at the age of 19 and amassed a record of 117-4-14 (14 draws).[2] He had several successful defenses including one over Antonio Cervantes.[3] Regarded as one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time,[4] his way of frustrating his foes with a minimum of head movement and avoiding most of their punches earned him the moniker 'El Intocable' (the Untouchable).[5]

Locche was inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 2003.[6] He died in Las Heras in 2005 of heart failure.[7][8]

Boxing career

[edit]

His family came from the Sardinian village of Villasor, located near Cagliari. Locche was known as "El Intocable" ("The Untouchable") due to his defensive mastery, and became the Lineal and WBA Light Welterweight Champion in Tokyo, Japan on December 12, 1968, after defeating Paul Takeshi Fuji by technical knockout after Fuji refused to start the 10th round out of frustration because of exhaustion and his inability to connect punches on "The Untouchable," according to the Argentine boxing commentators' recount of the bout (Dotora, 2004).[citation needed]

Locche became an idol in Argentina and routinely sold out the Luna Park, Buenos Aires every time he fought at the well known boxing arena. His boxing style made him a legend. He possessed uncanny reflexes, standing in front of his opponents with his hands lowered at his sides, behind his back or even resting on his knees as he slipped, bobbed and weaved to avoid his opponent's punches.[citation needed]

Numerous Argentine sources also cite the fact that Locche's approach towards submitting himself to traditional boxing training and discipline was sometimes lackadaisical. For example, Locche was a known habitual cigarette smoker throughout most if not all of his boxing career and his adherence to the strict dietary requirements of his trade was often quite flexible. It was not unusual to see this in the seconds there was a crowd around him during the one minute break between rounds where he would be puffing furiously on a cigarette.[citation needed]

Locche defended his title six times, against Carlos Hernandez, João Henrique, Adolph Pruitt, Antonio Cervantes and Domingo Barrera Corpas, before losing it to Alfonso Frazer in Panama on March 10, 1972. Locche failed to regain the World Champion belt in a rematch with Cervantes[9] and retired in 1975.

He was champion of Mendoza, Argentina, and South American lightweight and Jr. welterweight. Locche turned professional at the age of 19 and amassed a record of 117-4-14 (14 draws). He was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003.[10] The Ring has retroactively certified him as lineal Junior Welterweight champion from 1968 to 1972.
