The last five rounds of the bout were fought in a drizzling rain. According to the Pittsburgh Post, Gans won only one round, the sixth, although two or three others could have been called even. Greb was as fast as ever, showering blows on his bewildered foe. Gans did land a steaming right in the 6th that hurt Harry and kept him under control for the rest of the round. Greb was in complete command in the last four rounds, when he opened his bag of tricks fully and Harry got a great ovation when he left the ring. The report in the Wilkes-Barre Record also felt that Greb won in easy manner, also only giving Gans the 6th round.
