A round for Greb. A round for Walker. Hardy Referee Purdy, still in the ring despite his pain, but tiring badly now, was knocked down again. He continued to hobble about in the 14th round when Greb beat Walker's face into the likeness of a suet pudding, flattened his nose, failed to knock him out only because his arms were tired...
