Notes
Greb won the newspaper decision according to the Pittsburgh Post. Brown won the first round with body punching, but after that Greb was more mobile and beat K.O. to a frazzle. Even so, Brown kept on coming. "From the third round on, Greb..straightened the Greek out of his crouch with right uppercuts. In the 4th, Greb pasted Brown all over the ring. Greb won the 5th comfortably, but Brown got in a few hard licks. The sixth went about the same, so Greb won the last five rounds."
