Notes
According to Boxing Blade, this was a close fight, but the decision met with "the approval of the fans." Wilson made his best showing in the early rounds, taking the 1st, 3rd, and 5th. After that, Greb came on and the 7th round was probably his best one. Greb also did very well in the 8th, 10th, and 15th. Wilson's best late round was the 12th. Most of the others were "about fifty-fifty." This was not one of Greb's better efforts.
