	However, Kaplan's reign as champion was nearing its end. Despite standing 5ft 4 in., he was experiencing difficulty making the featherweight limit and decided to relinquish the crown to campaign as a lightweight in 1927. As a 135-pounder, he scored wins over [[Jackie Fields]], [[Johnny Jadick]], [[Billy Wallace]], [[Joe Glick]], [[Battling Battalino]] and [[Sammy Mandell]], among others. Amongst the wins were loses to Wallace, [[Eddie Ran]], and Hall of Famer [[Jimmy McLarnin]]. In 1933 he lost to [[Cocoa Kid]] and promptly retired from the ring with a 108-17-13D- 12 ND (26KOs) record.		However, Kaplan's reign as champion was nearing its end.
