    I believe Loughran would be able to take a comfortable decision...and this time the PHILLY bias does not even enter in.

    Tommy usually beat the sluggers so I agree,Oscar was very unpredictable though and threw unorthodox punches, so it's possible he might floor Loughran as others did.Tommy would get up , remount his bike and coast to a dec.

    Loughran decisioned the likes of Arturo Godoy and Paulino Uzcudun, who were similar in style and durability to Bonavena. And of course, there is the decision victory over Max Baer. Loughran by a comfortable decision.
