Tommy Loughran (1741 b. in Ills final appearance as a light-heavy weight boxer, retired, the undefeated champion after giving James Braddock (1701 b. an unexciting but thorough boxing lesson in which the latter took two out of the fifteen rounds. The fight was not especially dramatic, but Loughran begins h’s long-sought attempt at tho heavyweight crown leaving a perfect record behind him for ability and sportsmanship. Loughran left the ring tired and stated: “The weight is too tough.” But Braddock, oven in the rounds he won, had no real chance. Loughran showed practically everything a light-heavy-weight can do in the time allotted. The fight, which was for charity, was noticeably free from objectionable features. The crowd gave Loughran a tremendous ovation at the end.
