fight.
Says He'll Do 1t
Its going to be hard, but I'll do
1t, Loughran told the United Press.

Around fistIc circles today Lough-
rams difficulty in getting inside the
weight limit was taken as an in
dlcation that a new champion will
be crowned Thursday night.

strong, hard-hitting opponent.
Betting odds have taken a sudden
drop within the past few days, COM
ing down from 81 to 1 on Loughran
