    I would be interested to know what you think about Loughran's jab..he would keep his hands rather low and almost fence with the jab..

    He had a great left jab, and was a great fighter.

    Mickey Walker was even better.

    He really did a big part of writing the book on the stick, as it were.

    Not many fighters were known to dominate fellow champions and top contenders behind the jab alone. His example is a big part of what made the jab go down as boxings key punch.

    I like Loughran alot.
