    • "Tommy Loughran, former light heavyweight champion, last night dropped a 10 round decision to Tommy Farr at Albert Hall. Each weighed 191 pounds. The decision was so unpopular with the fans that cries of "robbery" and boos filled the hall for 20 minutes after the referee's decision was announced. British sportswriters were almost unanimous in giving the American 7 of the 10 rounds. Loughran's manager protested the decision and demanded to see the referee's scorecard, but officials said protests were useless as the referee's decision is final in England." -Associated Press
