I don't believe there is but I could be wrong. I haven't seen any.Originally posted by LeTombeur View Post
This is off topic but I always got a laugh about it. I think it was Harry Greb who said that during his fight with Flowers he was cursing and grunting the whole time. At one point he say's "god dammit" or something to that affect and flowers, completely serious asks him politely to not take the lords name in vain. I'd have to look it back up but the story goes something like that and I always got a kick out of it. -
Footage of his fight with Greb deteriorated over time and wasn't salvageable so it was destroyed, I believe there was a film made about his life in the 20s as well which also included footage of his fights but the same happened.
I don't believe there is any out there but you never know, there could always be a collector that has something of him.Comment

I read somewhere they were calling Flowers the southpaw Greb or something like that
unfortunately, that won't help me make an idea of his fighting style since we have no fight fottage of a Greb fight either
