July 23, 1921: Cow Palace, San Francisco: Unbeaten LH prospect Tommy Loughran heads west to take on fellow prospect Charlie Nashert aka Young Fitzsimmons. Nashert carries a 9-1 record into the 10-round bout.

Round one: Good hand speed shown by Loughran early in the bout; he scores with an uppercut to the cheek of Nashert. Nashert counters by landing a few isolated punches of his own, but Loughran dominates the rest of the action in the opening round.

Round two: Louhgran fights on the outside, while Nashert tries to work inside. Loughran is effective with the speed jab, and Nashert whiffes as he struggles to find the range. Another strong round for Loughran.

Round three: Loughran switches roles and works the inside versus Nashert, who retreats to the outside. Loughran lands a clean jab, Nashert responds with a hook to the ribs and follows up with a hook to the head. Loughran rallies -- it's a close round.

Round four: both men probe for openings from the outside. A cross connects for Nashert. Loughran misses. Nashert works the jab. Loughran scores with a big left. Nashert retreats but shoots home the jab. Slight edge to Nashert.

Round five: both work the inside this time, and Loughran connects with a two-punch combo. He traps Nashert in the corner and several exchanges follow, with some heavy leather landing. Good action round, Loughran is ahead 49-46 according to the unofficial ringside expert.

Round six: Nashert works inside, Loughran stays outside. Loughran shoots the jab and is scoring well. Nashert sneaks in a straight right. Loughran rips off a jab, and swelling is visible under both of Nashert's eyes as Loughran's two-fisted attack is having its effect. An uppercut scores for Loughran right before the bell.

Round seven: Nashert moves inside, getting more aggressive. Loughran shoots the jab and assumes a defensive minded posture. Not much action, Nashert seems to be tiring by this point.

Round eight: More of the same, Loughran scores from long range and stays away from Nashert's power.

Round nine: Nashert launches an all-out attack, lands a few punches but misses even more, and slick defense and the jab keep Loughran in control.

Round ten: Loughran works off the ropes as a weary Nashert continues to pursue him, still not finding the range. The bout goes the distance.

Scores are 99-92, 99-91, 96-94 for a UD 10 for Tommy Loughran, who moves to 13-0 (6) for 630 PPs.

In other developments, FLY Pancho Villa emerges as #1 in the rankings with a 14-1 record and is set for a championship challenge against Jimmy Wilde. More on this in the year-end reports to come later. Loughran and Walker will continue to be tracked until they emerge as championship contenders.
