Notes
Greb and Baker had a torrid battle. The first round was even, and Greb won the second with a body attack. The first two minutes of round three was a toe-to-toe exchange and Baker finally broke ground and Greb dropped him for "7" with a fight to the jaw just before the round ended. Baker fought cautiously and got through round four, but Greb decked him twice in round five and then put him down for the count with a right to the stomach. (Source: Pittsburgh Post.
