Tommy Loughran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (370 words)
	Tommy Loughran (Born November 29, 1902, Philadelphia, PA, - Died July 7, 1982, Altoona, PA) was the 1927-1929 undefeated Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world and is regarded as one of the most skilled fighters of all time.
	Loughran's effective use of coordinated foot work, sound defense and swift, accurate counter punching is now regarded as a precursor to the techniques practiced in modern boxing.
	Considering the conditions, Loughran's state and Carnera's connections, it is not unfair to assume some sort of corruption was at hand.
