Notes
Greb was fouled in each of the first two rounds and was given a rest in the second. Delaney, a good boxer, tried very hard all the way and landed his best punches. But Greb simply overwhelmed him. Harry was sharp and won every round. Regis Welsh was moved to call Greb "the marvel of the ring, the one fighter who has defied time." Reported in the Pittsburgh Post.
