Notes

Greb "easily outpointed" Burns. (Helena Independent) According to the Pittsburgh Post, Greb gave Burns a terrific lacing for five rounds, then eased off and let him stay the limit. Burns could not connect with his punches, while himself being pelted with a rain of blows. An Indianapolis newspaper (the Star?) stated that "Burns took a beating but the master did not apply the blows too hard. Burns was not disgraced. He took a lesson and probably it was just what he needed."
