Notes

American Light Heavyweight Title The New York Times reported Greb "easily won 10 of the 15 rounds". The Brooklyn Standard called Greb "the victor by a hundred fistic miles". The Pittsburgh Post reported that Loughran gave Greb a boxing lesson for the first three rounds, punishing him with a left jab and blocking his punches. For the next 9 rounds, Greb overwhelmed Tommy and built up a good lead, especially with his in-fighting. In the last three rounds, Loughran opened up a strong body attack that gave Harry trouble, but not enough to overcome his big lead.
