He won only three of the fifteen rounds.,The blows of both men licked knockout power, but Greb landed the oftener and more cleanly Gibbons won the second, tenth and eleventh rounds, but Greb pointed him 2 to 1 in the rest of the contest. Causes Gibbons (0 Miss As far as the fight itself is con- cerned, Greb's clever footwork enabled him to v out of range of |Gibbons's guns, He danced around the ring and time hnd time again caused Gibbons to miss heavy wallops, after which he would step in and beat Gibbons to it. In the second round Gibhons hpd Greb in a bad way, but th- Pittsburgh boy weathered the storm and came back with a rush at the beginning of the next session. In this round Gibbons caught Greb with 2 powerful left to the stomach, caus- ing the Pittsburgh fighter to cover up in order to save himself. He appear- ed weak he took his corner at the end of the round, but evidently he was in great.condition, for he rushed at Gibbons to open the third star Once more in the tenth round G bons pumped home a brage of powe ful lefte and rights to the stomach and jaw. They were solid smashes, and it seemed us,if they would wear Greb down before the end of the bat- tle. Gibbons, however, was too spent himself to follow his advantage, and Sreb again came out of the corne though nothing had happened. Dempsey at Ringside The St. Paul fighter again had his opponent holding on in the cleventh E but outside of theze three s the battle was mostly one:vay. At the end of the bout the champion, Jack Dempsey, who was one of the ringside spectators, announced in his opinion Greb was easily entitled to the decisfon because of his forcing the is- sue throughout almost the entire bout There was no question but what Gib- |bons was the harder hitter of the two, Ibut Greb far outelagsed him in speed and in ringeratt. Gibbons appeared slow on his feet and was unable to match Greb's footwork. The Ditts- burgh Loxer landed repeatedly o: Gibbons's body 2nd on several occa- sions he drove home hard lefts and rights to Gibbons's head. No Chance With Jack The bout wus supposed to furnish Dempsey’'s next ring opponent, but did not end in the way that it was ex- pected. Gibbons was installed as an 8 to, 5 favorite, and later on the odds jumped to 2 to 1, it being thought that extre poundage carried by the St. Paul boxer would be a decided fac- tor in his favor. . The differeace in weight, howe=cr, aparently had iittle effect, but it was the general con- sensus of opinion that Dempséy wouid have an easy time with either man.
