Notes

After having had so much trouble with Britton in an earlier fight, Greb won every round of this one. He boxed "scientifically" for the first three rounds, then cut loose with his usual barrage. "As the rounds went along Britton began to grow weary. There was nothing to the fight but Greb. Britton banged in a few good ones in rounds 6, 9, and 10, but was overwhelmed. Also, from the Columbus Citizen, "Greb took every round. In none of them was he forced to use the flailing, slam-bang fighting that won him the crown. Britton was outclassed and never had a chence.."

The bout was fought outdoors, and the Columbus Dispatch noted that the weather was cold. Attendance was only approximately 1,000, and the Dispatch reported that the promoter lost $1,200 putting on the program in the cold weather. The Dispatch also felt Greb won easily, noting that he missed consistently in the early rounds, perhaps struggling to acclimate to the cold weather. Greb later settled down, and the fight would pick up starting in the 5th round.
