During the {last two rounds ‘Greb showed a burst of speed that permitted him to dance around his adversary and hit him at will. Duripg the ecarly rounds Loughmn landed some stiff blows to the head and body, but he was unable to fathom Greb's peculiar jumping style and the bout developed into a me- |diocre exhibition that brought forth {rounds of hisses from the spectators, |Greb was guilty of considerable hold- ing. Greb won .six of the roynds and four were even, Neither fighter was hurt at any time ddring the bout, but both were very tired at the finish, |due to the continuous pulling and | tugging during all of the 10 rounds. { The first round was slow, with | Greb landing several flight taps to the head.
