	Tommy Loughran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tommy Loughran (Born November 29, 1902, Philadelphia, PA, - Died July 7, 1982, Altoona, PA) was the 1927-1929 undefeated Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world and is regarded as one of the most skilled fighters of all time.
		Loughran's effective use of coordinated foot work, sound defense and swift, accurate counter punching is now regarded as a precursor to the techniques practiced in modern boxing.
		Considering the conditions, Loughran's state and Carnera's connections, it is not unfair to assume some sort of corruption was at hand.

		Tommy Loughran (96-23-8, 18 KOs with 45 no decisions) - I had a tough call between Loughran and Sam Langford.
		I loved the way Loughran boxed to win, which he needed to do since power was as foreign to him as sportsmanship was to Mike Tyson.

		Motivation was never going to be an issue for either side, Kilmessan would be keen to hang to the title they won so dramatically last year and there was also the added bonus of boasting rights as a win would put them back ahead of their greatest rivals from Trim.
