Notes

World Middleweight Title

Greb was disappointing. He had taken off 13 1/2 pounds in 10 days and did not fight at his accustomed speed, yet won 13 of the 15 rounds. Moore took only rounds 6 and 7. The referee spent three minutes before the fight talking to Greb about fouls and this probably inhibited Harry's efforts
