Loughran to defend lightweight title vs Braddock at Yankee Stadium
New York reports that Tom Loughran will defend his lightweight crown against James J. Braddock at Yankee Stadium tomorrow in what may be his last light heavyweight bout. Loughran, 175 pounds, has earned little from the title since winning it in 1927 and cites money in the heavyweight division and weight-difficulty as factors. Odds favor Loughran at 7 to 5, with Braddock expected to draw sharp betting as fight time nears.
