    "According to the Boston Daily Globe, Greb earned a few more technical knockouts in Pittsburgh one night, though unofficially. After a female companion in his car was relieved of $95 and a ring on a lonely road in Highland Park by five robbers, Greb reported the incident to the police.

    When they arrived on the scene, the officers noticed blood all over the road. It was not Greb’s."

    from stonehands article "where have you gone Harry Greb?"

    Guys who know about Greb are there any other details surrounding this famed street fight with these muggers?

    This incident is fairly reliably documented.

    A few muggers have decidedly picked the wrong target by trying to take on a boxing champion.

    Yes but are ther any other details surrounding it, Ive heard on one hand Greb never fought outside the ring, but this story says otherwise...
