March 5, 1921 -- Comiskey Park, Chicago: Unbeaten LHW prospect Tommy Loughran faces his toughest challenge to date, as he takes on another unbeaten prospect, Buck Holley (12-0-1, 10 KOs) in a 10-round co-main support to a WBA title fight. Holley to date has demonstrated good power versus TC opposition but probably lacks the boxing and defensive skills so it should go to Loughran if he can stay out of trouble.

Round one: Holley tries to stalk Loughran, but Tommy plants a right to the chin and follows with a big cross. Holley fires back a left over the jab of Loughran. Tommy manages a strong finish with a leaping shot, a glancing cross and a couple of jabs to take the opening round comfortably.

Second round, Loughran fights outside and flicks several probing jabs to establish his rhythm. Louhgran scores with a quick hook to the ribs. A double left is blocked by Holley, who counters with a jab of his own. Not much action for the rest of the round, but Loughran sneaks a right home and appears to do enough to take round two.

Round three, Loughran works inside while Holley tries his luck on the outside. Loughran puts his punches together well and lands a strong combination. Holley shoots a jab to the chest of Loughran. Louhgran takes charge for the rest of the round, scoring with a nifty uppercut and a devastating hook right before the bell that leaves Holley reeling.

Fourth round sees both men willing to mix it up on the inside. Holley sneaks home a right cross, but Loughran retaliates with a a short uppercut and then forces Holley to retreat with a penetrating jab. A jolting uppercut from outside connects for Loughran, who follows up with right cross and another uppercut. Holley tries to clinch but Loughran sneaks home a few more blows right before the bell, ending another strong round.

Round five, Loughran gets even more aggressive as he tries to drop Holley. A straight right from Tommy is blocked by Holley's glove. Louhgran steps back and fires an uppercut. Holley counters with an uppercut of his own. Louhgran's timing is a bit off but a late flurry gives him the round. Midway through the bout, the unofficial ringside expert scoring has Loughran winning by a wide margin (50-45).

Sixth round and Holley tries to be the aggressor. Loughran lands a jab and probes his man for an opening. Holley fires and misses. Buck connects with a jab, then there is a lull as both men engage in some clutching and grabbing. Louhgran tries to set his man up with an uppercut, then he blocks a hook from Holley. Loughran fires a hook to the body. The bell sounds, and Holley appears to be wearing down at this point in the bout.

Round seven, Loughran reverts to working on the outside while Holley tries to apply pressure on the inside. Louhgran pops a hook to the head, and then follows with a two punch combo. Holley retreats and then tries to clinch. Loughran steps back but misses. He then connects with a jab and a straight right just before the bell to take the round.

Eighth round sees Loughran adopt a more defensive posture as a tiring Holley becomes increasingly desperate. Loughran flicks a jab and a combination, keeping his opponent off-balance. Holley fires back with a jab of his own, but his next shot bounces of Loughran's shoulder. An uppercut to the chin from Loughran finds its target, punctuating another strong round for Tommy.

Round nine, Louhgran is fighting outside while Holley tries to launch an all-out assault. Louhgran scores with a right cross. Holley misses with a cross. Louhgran's jab finds its target. A cross also connects for Loughran, who is sticking and moving well. Louhgran uses the jab to set up a short uppercut. Holley gets in a jab but cannot follow up. One more round left.

Round ten, more of the same as Holley's left is blocked, followed up with a three-punch combo. Louhgran counters with a right cross and a solid combination. Holley wings a left that misses. Loughran ends the scoring with a nice combination.

The outcome is a foregone conclusion: it's a lopsided UD 10 win for Loughran (100-91, 99-91, 100-90) to move Tommy to 11-0 (6 KOs), worth 542 PPs.
