Notes

Newspaper win for Greb (World News) This was a sensational fight. After one minute of action Greb was caught by a right hook and floored for "8." Harry was "wobbling like a drunk" when he got to his feet and Jones dumped him again with a right. Greb appeared out when he got to his feet, pale and shaken, but backpedalled and lasted out the round. Harry started well in the second round but after a minute Jones landed two lefts and Greb was in bad trouble again. He toughed it out, but was still in bad shape when the round ended. Greb seemed to recover in his corner between rounds and from the third round on it was a slaughter. Jones received an unmerciful beating. At the end, the Soldier was bleeding from mouth and nose and there was a gaping cut over one eye. The last four rounds were especially one-sided. Greb's comeback had the crowd wild. This was one of the worst beatings Greb ever handed out. The soldier nearly pulled a great upset but paid dearly for it. Afterward, Greb was unable to remember the first six rounds of the fight.
