Greb won a unanimous 15 round decision and the title. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereported that Greb did not fight in his usual cyclonic style. Evidently fearing disqualification he boxed in orthodox style. Wilson punched mainly for the body, winning the 10th, 14th, and 15th rounds. Greb took all of the others. The 8th was Harry's best round, and next to that the second. Greb won beyond argument even though he fought flat-footed. He was too quick and busy for the plodding Wilson. Nevertheless, it was not of Harry's better showings. (This is from the report of Regis Welsh.) Some writers thought that Greb still used a lot of rough tactics. One writer thought that the fight was close. All accounts showed that it was an ordinary fight, lacking thrills. Neither man was ever in danger of being stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrooklyn Daily Eagle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBrooklyn Standard Union\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eall gave Greb 13 rounds and two for Wilson.
