Notes

The Pittsburgh Post reported that Fisher rushed Greb wildly, but Greb easily sidestepped and flayed the caveman badly. Although stated to be a veteran of over 200 fights, Fisher was made to look like an amateur by Greb. In the infighting Fisher only tried to tie Greb up. He landed only five or six clean punches and did less well than in previous fights with Harry. Fisher was dazed and bleeding in the last three rounds, but a glutton for punishment and stayed.
