    I messaged PhillyFan about this since he said he'd seen the trilogy. I watched the first fight in parts on Youtube. I found a dead torrent on WBVA for the third. No evidence of the second. Any help tracking these down would be appreciated.

    Try contacting someone like ChrisJS, Fleaman or especially RagingB()ll. They have always had some rare or hard to find footage.

    IB and CST may also be able to help you here.

    I'm not familiar with any of those people nor those acronyms. Care to elaborate?

    They are/were posters on here, who dealt with old, missing and rare films. They are the guys to contact for film stuff, usually.

    IB is IntentionalButt and CST is CST80.

    The second fight was televised live on NBC. Kind of surprised it's not on YouTube. Molina exacted sweet revenge if I remember correctly.

    I'm guessing whatever channel(s) hosted them were wiped for other fights.

    I would go to where the beer flows, women are plentiful and boxing is liked.

    Jesus, I can't find Molina's fights with Juan Laporte or Bernard Taylor either.

    I did find a link to one that was live at least back last April. I wonder how many big classic accounts have gotten iced due to boxing archives being valuable to streaming services.

    There are a few places to go outside of YouTube if you dig hard enough...right now I am short on time on vacation with the fam...still looking for the Lopez fights...this is a decent site w/the Taylor Molina fight...will let you know if i dig up any others.

    I tried ok.ru, RuTracker, WBVA, TC. I will admit I searched the least for the Taylor fight so thank you for that!

    @Zulawski
    If you're already doing the following, then totally disregard:
    Also though, I have mentioned this tactic in a few other threads: When searching for hard to find fights, I have had a lot of success by doing so in the following manner: Тони Лопес - Джон Джон Молина. The left of that dash is the name Tony Lopez in Russian script (I believe it is called Cyralic?) and the other name is John John Molina in the same script. So I will often go to google, type "English to Russian" in the search box/field and then push enter. Google then brings up its own translator where it asks for the words one's wishing to translate, then enter the name/names into the first box, the second box is set to the foreign language, in this case Russian, and presto! Copy results and then paste results wherever it is you wish to do your searching. I will then usually just start with a Google video search using the translated names Google gives me, I will also search with the translated names at certain hosting sites I have come across that operate in countries where the script is relevant, such as ok.ru or vk.com, two Russian FB+YouTube hybrid sites (these Russian sites have very little concern to western copyright laws as well, which is good for us, as MANY Showtime broadcasted fights, old and or new, aren't easily streamed in the States. For real, Showtime is pretty damn hardcore with this. These two Russian sites, they also allow for live streaming, and think about this, we have Russian video hosting sites that allow for streaming live stuff and they don't care about western copyright, surely most here can deduce the point it is which I am beating around the bush about) this is because, at least from what i think I see, when searching things/fights in roman script languages, Google is not gonna return results for the name Джон Джон Молина in with the English/Roman script results just to be nice. However, I also see that Google, as well as youtube, will add in the English/Roman results if I search in a foreign language, such as Russian. I don't know why this happens but my best guess is on account of Google knowing I am in the US? Last, when English isn't getting me to a fight I wanna see, I have the best luck searching in Russian script, Japanese, and Korean, and generally in that order. Obviously hough, not a great amount of luck with the specific searches you have asked for.
