"Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia, loomed Wednesday as the outstanding contender for the light heavyweight crown as a result of a decisive victory over Young Stribling, the pride of Georgia. Taking seven of the ten rounds fought, the clever Philadelphian atoned for two colorless defeats in previous meetings by winning the unanimous decision of three judges after a bitter battle at Ebbets Field Tuesday night. In the first three rounds the Southerner's rushing offensive broke through Loughran's guard often, but after that the Philadelphian was master of the situation." -Associated Press
