Notes

"Greb outclassed Reddick in every round" (Pittsburgh Post). Reddick showed plenty of courage and willingness, but he was no match for his veteran opponent. In a special to the Manitoba Free Press referee March wrote: 'Reddick can trim a lot of high class light-heavyweights, but he was outclassed in everything but courage by the Pittsburgh wonder man. If Mickey Walker, the welterweight champion, can trim this Greb when they meet in New York next June 16 for the middleweight title, then a one-armed Chinaman wearing a ball and chain can trim a gorilla on his own diamond.' The Toronto Globe said that "There never was a stage of any of the ten rounds when Reddick appeared to have a chance against the shifty champion, but, be it said to is credit. he kept everlastingly trying." For awhile Reddick tried to tie up Greb but never found a way to do it." Reddick tried for a knockout in the last round, but wound up taking "a worse beating than in any of the preceding rounds."
