Career Record
Other Resources
A quick, clever boxer who lacked a knockout punch, Loughran had his first professional fight in 1919 and was undefeated until he lost a 15-round decision to Harry Greb on January 30, 1923 in a match for the light heavyweight championship.
Loughran won the title with a 15-round decision over Mike McTigue on October 7, 1927, in New York City. He vacated the championship in 1929 after five defenses to campaign as a heavyweight. Among the fighters he beat in title bouts were Mickey Walker and Jim Braddock, who was later heavyweight champion.
He fought for the heavyweight title on March 1, 1934, against Primo Carnera, but lost a 15-round decision. Loughran retired in 1937. A very religious man who went to Mass every day, Loughran was successful in business after leaving the ring and he was also a sought-after speaker.
Loughran won 95 bouts, 18 by knockout; lost 23, 2 by knockout; and fought 8 draws and 2 no-decisions.
