Steele did better than I thought going in. A few close rounds that just didn't go his way in a tough loss. Duran was flat like all season.

What a tremendous war from Harry Greb and Mickey Walker. Hellacious back and forth brawl with both men trading rounds and knockdowns, Greb had just a bit more in the engine over the last 3 rounds and barely shaded it, but what a great fight that was. A tip of the hat to Mr. Walker
