He is about the most difficult proposition in the. light-heavy-weight division. Having no particular style, remarkably fast and aggressive, he is a two-handed fighter who never does what he is expected to do. Everything he does, is wrong. He iswhat is known in fistic circles as a•» «•*“clown”—awkwardly clever. And thefact that he has beaten Brennan fourtimes, Kid Norfolk, Battling Levinsky,Madden, Roper and Weinert, although he is little more than a middleweight himself, attests in no small measure to the success of his baffling style.Possessed of an endless store of endurance, he carries the fight along at a terrific pace. More than one fighterhas fooled himself into thinking thatGreb couldn’t last 15 rounds at thepace he sets in the first three or fourrounds, but Harry is stronger and faster at the end of 15 sessions than I he was at the start. JGreb will be matched to meet Bill Brennan soon, and no doubt the winner will meet Tom Gibbons. Tom and Harry should give the fans a mighty interesting evening of fistic entertainment.t
