Notes

"A slashing right uppercut, wielded by Harry Greb, world's middleweight champion boxer, won him a victory over Jimmy Delaney, St. Paul..Delaney showed well in the early rounds, especially the third and fourth, but he soon weakened under the champion's relentless attack. Delaney's face was badly cut at the end of the fight, Greb was unmarked." (Appleton Post Crescent) "For a time in the middle of the fight it seemed that Delaney might have a chance..He was solving the Greb attack and evolving an offensive that was somewhat bewildering to the champion (with) chugging lefts shot accurately into the champion's stomach and an occasional (solid right cross to the chin, (but then) he began to tire..and Greb moved steadily ahead." (from the St. Paul Pioneer Press).
