	How did Harry Greb go blind.html
		Muldoon said it would be impossible for Greb, with the worry and strain of his wife's illness, to train properly to fit himself for such an important bout and he has, accordingly, instructed the Garden officials to grant Greb the benefit of a delay.
		This afternoon the doctors treating his ailing lamp will render a verdict as to wether the light-heavyweight champion can take to the ring again and on their decision rests the battle.
		It is my opinion that Harry Greb suffered a "retinal tear", the initial cause of his eye problems, in the August 29th 1921 fight with Kid Norfolk but the retinal "detachment" occured over a year later November 10th, 1922 against Capt. Bob Roper.
