Notes

The referee was Benny Franklin, the promoter of the bout, after Greb refused to accept the commission's choice of referee (Charley Short) and demanded that Al Ross of Pittsburgh be the referee, which the commission rejected. Kaiser's contract called for title fight and he weighed in at 160lbs at 2pm. However, Greb said his contract was for catchweights and he did not weigh in for the bout. Baltimore Sun According to the Pittsburgh Post, Greb won every round. After subjecting Keiser to a bad whipping for the first four rounds, Harry eased up for a few rounds, although keeping things well in hand. In the 10th, Greb opened up again and pounded Keiser so terribly that the referee stopped it in the 12th after Fay went to the canvas.
