Possessed of nothing more than a stout fighting heart and the abil- ity to skip away from dangerous blows with the grace of dancing master, Loughran will stake his soft-punching attack against the numbering advances of Primo Camera in an attempt to wrest the championship from the ponderous Italian.
 Loughran, who retired in 1929, as light-heavyweight champion to pick up the trail that leads him into the Madison Square Garden bowl ring tonight opposed to Camera, will concede every physi- cal advantage to his opponent.
 n One-Sided
 Virtually everything is on the side of the champion-betting, weight, height, reach and age. Loughran, however, has the great CT experience, and it is upon this factor that he hopes to capitalize by skipping away from the Italian in emergencies or attacking with his rapier-like Hicks and jabs.
 Whether Loughran will be able to continue this sort of an attack depends on his ability to avoid Carnera's club-like blows.
 Consensus among boxing men to- day overwhelmingly pointed to a Knockout victory by Camera inside of eight or ten rounds. But there were some, very much in the minority, who believed that should the battle last fifteen rounds, the Philadelphian would win the de- cision.
 The unattractive possibilities that the bout offers, plus a storm which swept this city on Monday and showers yesterday, has kept the fans away from the box offices. Should the bout draw a total gate of $100,0OO, the promoters will consider themselves very fortunate.
 Stormy Weather
 The weather bureau predicts Fair and Warmer" for tonight but it would not be surprising to see the fight postponed for a second time a sudden change in weather sets in before evening
 Meanwhile, Loughran advanced on Miami lfrom his West Palm Beach retreat while his opponent loafed at home in North Maimi. The fighters will meet at D. m. for the weigh-in which is expected to show Camera at approximately 260 pounds compared to 1855 for Loughran.
