Good match up. I'd take Loughran to be able to implement his game plan better by staying outside and forcing Gibbons to come to him...Loughran by close decision in a technical battle.
This is exactly how I think Loughran would have beaten Gibbons..the same type of strategy that Pastrano used vs Johnson.
Well I would say that Loughran will definitely win and Wish him for win . So I hope that He will work hard to win .
Loughran sustained no less than ten knockdowns during his prime, three to Steve Hamas, two to Jack Gross and Leo Lomski (on youtube) each, one to Jack Sharkey (on youtube), Ernie Schaaf, and King Levinski. Gibbons had the necessary skill to bring his power to bear on Loughran's questionable chin multiple times, and the will to use that power in a way that elder brother Mike tended not to, and criticized him for. To me, that's the difference, and I'm going to dissent from the early prevailing sentiment in favoring Gibbons, as much as I admire Loughran. Gibbons was no Max Baer when it came to effective use of power on a gifted stylist. It was he who first starched the slippery Meehan where Dempsey, Langford, Fulton and Wills all failed. He punched out the rugged Norfolk at a time when only Wills and Langford had put him out like that. He actually owned Greb before Harry turned the tables in a third try in July 1920, when Gibbons was approaching 30. Either by stoppage, or through producing knockdowns in multiple rounds, I think Gibbons, a much more dangerously effective power puncher than Sharkey, takes this one.
