Notes

Richard Guy (Pittsburgh Gazette Times) reported "In the semi-final Joe Chip knocked out Harry Greb with a right hook to the jaw in the second round. While Greb was down his manager, Red Mason, spit water on him in the hopes of reviving him. Seeing this move Chip rushed to the ropes and threatened Mason." Pittsburgh Post on December 1 said "Harry Greb was around yesterday without a scratch ready to meet anyone at or near the welterweight limit. Greb has no excuses to offer, except that he met a better man and hereafter says he will not go out of his class and meet a man who weighed 156 pounds in the afternoon, while Greb only scaled 142."
