Jan. 29,1921 -- Philadelphia: Unbeaten LHW prospect Tommy Loughran steps up to the world of the 10-rounders as he takes on TC Norm Dietz (1-11 career record) in one of the main supports to the FLY World title bout.

Round one, Loughran establishes his jab early, then follows Dietz to a neutral corner where he unleashes a clean cross, following up with some more blows for a strong opening round.

Second round, Loughran stays outside and probes for an opening. Loughran scores with an uppercut, a jab, another jab to dominate the action in this round as well. Dietz's left eye starts to swell up.

Round three, Loughran moves inside to pressure Dietz. He backs up Dietz with an uppercut, connects with a jab, then a right cross. Loughran flicks another jab, then Dietz is wild with a hook. Dietz sticks in a jab, but Loughran connects with a straight right and then a right cross right before the bell.

Round four, more of the same as Loughran follows a jab with two more, and now both of Dietz's eyes exhibit signs of swelling. A big left and an uppercut also penetrate Dietz's porous defenses, yet the TC is still standing despite taking a pounding.

Fifth round, Loughran is looking for a KO, and he shakes Dietz by doubling up on his left that finds its target. He cuts the ring off and batters Dietz on the ropes. Another strong round for Loughran, who is up 49-46 on the unofficial scorecard.

Round six sees Loughran opening with a huge right cross. Dietz sneaks in a jab. Louhgran counters with a hook to the head, and he moves in behind a jab. Dietz tries to tie Tommy up. An uppercut gets through for Loughran, who takes this round as well.

Round seven, Loughran is seeking to finish his man. A big left has Dietz in trouble, and the worsening swelling causes the ref to consult with the ring doctor, who allows the fight to go on. A couple of quick jabs and a late knockdown, but Dietz scrambles to his feet right before the bell.

Round eight, Dietz's eyes are reduced to slits. A hook scores for Loughran, followed by two jabs. More clinching by Dietz. A cross and a solid hook to the head, and Dietz is in full retreat. Loughran follows up with a short uppercut, a three-punch combo, and then lands a solid blow, and down goes Dietz -- this time for the count.

Loughran by KO at 2:50 of round 8 to run his record to 10-0 (6 KOs), now with 494 PPs.
