    Two great technicians, two great lhws at their best against each other. I slightly lean toward Tommy due to his better jab but this is close to 50/50. Who do you have?

    If i'm pressed for a pick, and i am:D then i'd go for Loughran. Johnson is more rounded but Loughran may still be the better general within his own stylistic make up. Loughran was like a matador, when good attacking fighters advanced he was standing behind them before they knew it, and it was all centre ring. When i think harder though it's definitely conceivable that Johnson is a foil for him, with him possibly having a fuller toolbox to put to use in the chess match he might just edge a victory dropping shots in mid ring.

    I'm going to favour Loughran's defence to come through and get a decission though.

    A Pastrano type victory for Loughran..it's possible that they'd split a few matches..
