Greb was in tough shape at the end of the 9th after taking a terrific overhand right, followed by a two-handed battering. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press said that "Greb showed himself a tough two-handed fighter, dangerous at all times, but the scientific Tommy cut rings around him and won by a comfortable margin..He jabbed Greb with straight lefts and did good work, also, with his right hand whenever he saw an opening..At infighting Tommy showed marked superiority to the Pittsburgh battler..Tommy frequently made Greb miss so badly that he seemed to be shadow boxing in the middle of the ring..At the close, Greb was bleeding profusely from a split lip and a cut below his left eye. Tommy was unmarked save for a cut on his nose."		The Pittsburgh Post reported that Greb held his own in the fourth round and Gibbons won all of the others.
