Notes
The Pittsburgh Post reported that Greb won 8 of the 10 rounds before the largest crowd in the history of Pittsburgh boxing. The 10th round was even and Miske won the 7th with vicious infighting. Neither fighter was ever in danger of a knockout but it was a grueling affair. Greb was the aggressor throughout. "It was one of those typical Greb fights, with (Harry) rushing in..and baffling his opponent with the very speed and frequency of his attacks." Greb left the ring unmarked, but Miske's face was puffed.
