    15 rounds.

    Who do you have? How will the styles mesh?

    Lots of jabbing. Loughran the far better fighter but I think he struggles here.

    Foster wins a close one, Loughran uses all the tricks of the trade to frustrate Foster, just enough to last to a decision loss.

    Tough one but I'll take Foster once he finds the range and whips in a few hooks. I think his height and reach will be an advantage. Throw in his power and I think he takes it.

    Tommy Loughran has been compared to john ruiz. Take what you will from that.

    And some have compared Einstein to Ernest P Worrell.

    Take that as you may.

    Loughran did handle some punchers with significantly greater height and reach than himself, so I wouldn't dismiss his turning the trick here.

    Loughran by decision, not close.

    The only person to stop Loughran anywhere close to his prime was Jack Sharkey.

    His other stoppage loss was against Steve Hamas when he was shot.

    I think your prediction is a bit reckless.

    I think would be a distance fight...Foster landing the harder blows...and keeping Loughran at distance and fighting defensively.

    Close decision in probably a boring fight.

    All good replys. Two all time top tenners for sure, how would you rate these two there? Pierre and Finnegan had the skills and plan to go late with Bob but he still went 3-0 against them when a little past his best. Tommy could also box for 15 and I think it would be close but still a win for big Bob.

    Just don’t let “Sugar” Roy Jones in there or there’ll be cold bodies in the ring.
