    ~ World Heavyweight Championship ~

    * Primo Carnera - 76-6-0 {63 KO's} ~ 6' 6" ~ Reach; 85" ~ 270 lbs. ~ {Age; 27 years, 5 months}
    vs.

    ~ The Skinny ~

    Primo Carnera > 'The World Heavyweight Champion' will be making the 2nd-Defense of his
    Championship since he won in it on June 29, 1933.

    Primo had defended his Title once, by defeating Paulino Uzcudon 4-Months earlier on
    October 22, 1933 in Rome, Italy.

    Primo had arrived in Miami, Florida as a 'heavy-favorite' at {5-1}, and was expected to have an easy time
    with the 'light-punching' but expert defensive-specialist that they called 'The Philly Phantom'.

    But in viewing the 'Mammoth Italian' in sparring-sessions, Primo had 'regressed' from his earlier improvement
    as a capable boxer in 1932 and 1933, to now being a just a huge 'lumbering oaf'.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ~ The Skinny 'II' ~

    Tommy Loughran > The Challenger has salvaged his career by winning '6-of-7' since January 10, 1933.

    Loughran, who was regarded as on the 'finest' Ring Technicians in Boxing durinhg the late-1920's and
    up thru 1931, was written off on January 15, 1932 when he was 'blasted out' {L KO 2} by a 'young-and-raw'
    Steve Hamas.

    Many of the Boxing Pundits wrote Loughran 'off' after that loss, and stated that his 'once-great' Boxing Career
    had passed him by at {Age; 29 years, 2 months}.

    But 'The Phantom of Philly' surprised everyone, by scoring '2' Decision wins over 'previous nemesis' Steve Hamas,
    and also scoring an 'upset' {W Split Dec 15} over 'former' Heavyweight Champion - Jack Sharkey on September 27, 1933.
