    I'm posting this because I couldn't find any stand-alone footage last time I searched, but just serendipitously stumbled upon this, from a Ron Lyle documentary. I'd thought maybe O'Halloran had a doughy Tyson Fury-like build, but he was jacked as hell. He wasn't slow either, with an impressively fast left hook for a guy his size.

    But he was also stiff as hell, and doesn't really seem to know what he's doing in the brief clip seen here. (It's right at the beginning, so no timestamp necessary). He just launches that hook several times in a row till he seems to run out of ideas and throws a right, which Ron Lyle easily counters, laying him flat with one punch. (I take it he was already hurt when the clip starts.) He lies face down on the canvas without moving for the remainder of the footage. Anyone know where I can see more of this guy on film? (Aside from his showbiz career, of course.)

    Off the top of my head: Foreman, Lyle, Summerville, and Kirkman. Im sure others exist as well.

    Te fights exist, but the footage doesn't appear to be on any video hosting sites.
