For years fight collectors (such as Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Compton) have been searching high and low for even the tiniest clip of actual fight footage of Greb - but all we have is that training video before the Walker fight, where he can be seen doing some weird shadow boxing.
Though it's impossible to tell from the ultra-short clip, I think it's highly unlikely that Tunney's opponent at 2:17 is Greb. If that was the case, it would be a huge sensation!
the guy in the clip looks too tall and skinny, greb was 5"9 and around 168 lbs. only one fight of greb's was actually filmed, greb-walker but the film rotted away before the 60's. i have read a ringside description of some of the rounds of greb - walker and damn i wish i could see the fight
