Bloom fought the immortal Benny Leonard six times, being knocked out by him twice. (He was only knocked out three times in his career, according to Boxrec.) He also lost twice to George Chaney, and fought to no decisions against Jack Britton, Freddie Welsh, Rocky Kansas, Ted "Kid" Lewis, Johnny Dundee, and Leo Johnson.
