We can say to it by his record that he is not a hard puncher that's why mostly of his wins is by decisions. Mostly of the famous boxers are hard punchers that most of their wins is by way of knock out or technical knock out.
But Nicolino is different he is known and became popular as the greatest defensive boxer of all time. Because of his very good skills and technique of defending himself in the ring. He have a very fast movement skill on avoiding the punches of his opponents that make way for him to reach the 117 number of wins on his boxing career.
We could all say that he is a very boring kind of boxer because he is just always avoid and avoiding the punches of his enemy, but if you will just in video the way he fights its just really so amazing because not of all boxers can have a very speed movements on avoiding punches that it is just like in slow motion for him because it is very easy for him to do such a thing and that is why he is called "The UnTouchable Boxer"
Nicolino Locche has become the WBA Light Welterweight Champion on December 12,1968 and for sure you all will be shocked on how he wins the tittle. He fight against Paul Takeshi Fuji which is a Japanese Boxer in the tittle fight. I have said before that Locche most of his wins are by decision result but in this event he wins the match via TKO or technical knock out. It is because when the match is heading on to the start of the 10th round his opponent Takeshi don't want to continue to fight anymore, because he have suffered frustration and tiredness in the fight. On the reason that he could not connect even a single punch to Nicolino Locche and the match was stopped and Locche was crowned as the new WBA Light Welterweight at that moment.
And because of that fight he became much more popular and have a lots of followers and supporters in Argentina. So that is why every time he have a match it was always jam packed and the tickets are always sold out.
