I guess my Ron Lyle threads weren't very popular...

    Every time I want to find out how to find rare fights people like to hush up.

    I would like watching any fight of lyle from the 90s. I believe that he wanted a rematch with Foreman.
    I hate his fight with cooney and i saw perfectly early in the fight the accurate moment where cooney did hurt his rib(he had bad a rib before the fight). From this point lyle was with the low guard in order to protect his rib. He was not the same guy,he looked old, slim at 210 pounds not aggressive at all, not even close to the 76 version of lyle 220 ripped pounds full of testosterone not 210 flabby pounds of finished guy. 76 lyle vs prime cooney is a different fight

    Well it could be that they don’t know how to find them either, so what would you have them post?

    I don't expect everyone, or anyone for that matter to know, but it's worth a try. If someone knows where Lyle-Bonavena and Lyle-Ellis is, why not?

    Oh, I’m not saying you shouldn’t try. I’m just saying that’s why nobody responded ... if they knew, they’d probably tell you.

    or could it be that no one was active that could tell me about them?

    There was a poster here many years ago who went by the screen name “ UpWithEvil” . He claimed to have a whole library of rare footage. But I haven’t seen in him around here in a while. Of course I take long breaks from this place periodically too so we might have missed each other. I guess you can look him up in the members index and see if he’s still active. If not there’s gotta people you can find on the internet.

    Does Henry Hascup still hang out here ? I know he was the director of the jersey hall of fame years ago and knew more than a lot of us did. Not sure what kinda film he’d have his hands on but he might have connections

    ironic, I've been trying to land a conversation with him, but he seems elusive

    Yes actually. I just looked up his profile https://www.boxingforum24.com/members/hhascup.13826/ and it seems he was online Monday. I agree if someone knows something about something it'd be him.
