    Interesting stuff, not sure if it has been posted before. Delete if so.

    Please post any other visual Greb resources that you have

    Broke his nose in the first 10 seconds. So much for Harry being a slow starter. Of all the films I would like to see, that fight is at the top.

    i don't think that any MW would beat Tunney other than Greb, which speaks how good was Harry Greb when he beat top 3 LHWs of all time and was robbed against Tiger Flowers another great LHw.

    I really appreciate Tunney’s candour - as if he’s reliving the pain.

    Oh boy, loved how Tunney calls it a sorry affair lol. Wish the clip was longer and more detail about the fight itself from him, but broken nose and close/open eyes??? Not sure what he means about that. Yeah Greb gave him a butt kicking.
