Notes
This fight was reported in detail by the Pittsburgh Post. It was a rough affair with lots of pulling and hauling. Roper kept gouging Greb's eyes and even cuffed the referee twice, however Greb won the fight in one-sided fashion. Roper did land good punches in the 5th and 7th rounds. Greb suffered a cut eyebrow in the last round. Roper hit Greb after the bell ending the 10th round and Greb sailed into him. The police had to accompany Roper to the dressing room. Greb and Roper were censured the next day by the Pittsburgh Boxing Commission.
