Notes
Greb won the newspaper decision (Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Record, and Philadelphia Public Ledger). The Pittsburgh Post said that Greb had a tough fight with Loughran. "Loughran, a great fighter, tried hard, fought well, and at times proved a capable foeman, and it was not until the fifth round that Greb really had an advantage." For five rounds, Loughran tied up Greb's body attack. Using a standup style, he cut Greb's left eye and worked him into some tough spots. But he tired in the last three rounds, and Greb mounted his windmill attack to earn victory."
