When A Gang Leader Confronted Muhammad Ali

- Welcome back to Boxing After Dark! Tonight, we take you back to 1975. Muhammad Ali is fresh off his victory against George Foreman, and every heavyweight is eager for a shot at the Greatest. But for now, Frazier, Norton, and Shavers will have to wait their turn. Tonight, it's Ron Lyle's chance. A former gang member with heavy hands and no fear, Lyle stands ready. It's up to Ali to prove the doubters wrong once again.
Who wins out of prime Ali and prime Mike? This performance alone makes me think Ali, he was a king of IQ in the ring!
I know Tyson was past his prime but watching the Lennox Lewis fight makes me think Ali might’ve out - boxed Tyson but if Tyson connected 😮
@@chrismichaels6928 yeah, and even throughout his career his toughest fights in his prime (besides Douglas) always came from tall lanky boxer types like quick tillis and Mitch Green, those guys would make it the distance and win rounds, and we all know that Ali was the best at using his jab, reach and height to his advantage. The mind games would’ve been fun from both though, I wonder who it would’ve gotten to more…
@@aidenbrooks7529 great point .. wasn’t Mitch Greene on meth or something during that fight? I don’t know much about boxing but he actually looked really impressive in that fight - great jabs and movement. What a character 🤣
@@chrismichaels6928 I do recall Mike saying about Mitch being on angel dust at one point, but then again even the champions of the 80’s were on all kinds of drugs, pinklon Thomas, Michael Dokes etc etc, the 80’s were one hell of a time and the two dominant champs being Holmes and Mike truly was a spectacle, and the fact Mike got Holmes out like he did does slightly throw a wrench in my idea of Ali beating Mike because of how similar there styles are, although you can chalk up a big amount of that loss to Larry’s years out of the ring I guess
As far as brute strength , I would say Tyson.
As far as strategy ,finesse I would say Mohammed
The magic of TH-cam is, at 65 years old, I finally get to look back and watch the historical fights. I was in elementary school when “Ali” was the the greatest. Then, when Tyson was the greatest, I was working 15 or so hours a day, with no time for the fight game.
In high definition also 👌🏾👌🏾
and a soundtrack
Yeah, we can watch best movies, fights, music ...
Good work capturing the battles that I watched.. I no longer marvel to watch the brutality of prize fighting... life with their loved ones would have been better without the brutal sport of beating the hell out of somebody. Google deaths in the ring or injuries caused by.
Isn't this awesome? I also agree one of the greatest things about TH-cam. You can also learn just about anything you want to damn near for free!

Float like a butterfly,

Muhammad Ali
That's beautiful
I'm crying as I hear Muhammad Ali words of praise. For him and Allah
Too bad he was a disgusting racist.
the black supperman
Ali was a brilliant, strong, decent Man...
His career as a Boxer and Human being is unparalleled...
Not to mention his sense of humor!
What a great Guy!!! ❤❤❤❤
His quickness in humor quotes and answers, were as quick as his hands.
You have to work awfully hard at ignoring his "gorilla" BS in Manila before the fight with Frazier. Some of the most despicable behavior in a public figure ever.
@@jg300ascout1 Would you please elaborate, give a link to read, or at least let me know what terms to search for?
I don’t know about the incident. Due to my age (40-ish), I can learn about Ali mostly on what I watch and read. I would really like to know more about the incident you are referring to.
Although I am an ESL, I think my English is quite good; nevertheless, in case I may have misunderstood, the incident you are referring to is something Ali being disrespectful to his opponent; which is why I am very intrigued.
Thank you if you do answer, my apologies if I bothered.

Casious Clay was a better fighter!🫠
@@RoysFineGemsLet me guess. Your favorite social network is Twitter. 🤓
I miss Ali. There will never be another like him.
Me too, I had no interest in boxing until the then Cassius Clay came along and I haven’t had much interest since his departure as Mohamed Ali. The only boxer that gets my interest now is Anthony Joshua probably because he’s a Brit and we don’t get many to shout about in boxing.
And never will be, the greatest ever ❤️
Mike Tyson for just imo
My father took me to a parade in Louisville when they turned Broadway into Casssious Clay, again when he converted and changed his name. My dad was totally about historical stuff. I will never forget
Ali was the champ for all time. The king of the ring & one of the smartest fighters ever.
My mother met him in Vegas. She said his hand was like a gentle baseball mitt when she shook it, and said he seemed like one of the kindest, gentlest people she ever met. Mom didn't watch his fights.
Nice people are nice...until they're not. Nice gentle people are the ones you should wonder about
Then he jizzed in her face
That's exactly what I'd say about Mike Tyson literally softest caring guy you will meet
@@davidcohen4237 ofc bc he has conciousness, not many do
Yo mom got her guts rearranged by Muhammad Ali 😭props gang
There were fighters. Then there was Ali. When you watched him in the ring, you didn't just want him to win. You wanted to be him. An absolute hero.
Rest in peace, Ronald Lyle. Rest in peace, Muhammad Ali. All of the great boxers are retired or gone.
if it werent for tyson,the ear MC MUFFIN would have never happened.
Lennox Lewis is still here, one of the best ever
@@stuartcairney7055
And so is Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, but are they still boxing?
I agree with you alanmorris I at this time I must say that I could not name who is and who isn't the champians. Gone are the greatest. How sad.
Roberto Duran is still around
Muhammed Ali might have said "I am the greatest" but it was with good reason, he was the greatest. Definitely one of my childhood heroes.
KING OF THE WORLD!!! IM A BAD MAN!!!!
He lost 4 times..NOT THE GREATEST
@@tlouishail4141 Ali leads the official list of the worlds top 10 boxers. He was the greatest in my book. First fighter to ever win the world title on three separate occasions.
I was lucky enough to shake Muhammad Ali by the hand in Scotland 1993
He was a very bright man. He could talk about anything. Great sense of humor. I miss him dearly. RIP my friend.
No one comes close to the GREATEST! Thanks for the beautiful memories Muhammad Ali 🙏
Rocky Marciano died undefeated unlike this bozo
Someone said
"If an alien ask me to produce a specimen from mankind, I will present Ali to him"
Muhammed Ali is the greatest ever, i am born 1963 in Germany and i never saw a sportsman like him. Thank you for all sleepless nights in my childhood. I will never forget you. Your life was an inspiration for me.
The great ever Muhammad alli, only God is greatest
Tyson Fury would turn him into a puddle of diarrhea.
He cant be the greatest since he only competed in America that's a contradiction. There are plant of American athletes who said they are the greatest and yet loose to other athletes outside of America.
For example Fedor Emelianenko he competed all around the world and won 98% of all his fights other fighters Alexander Karelin or Buvaisar Saitiev, Vitali Klitschko.
@@adisaakorede thats my opinion, it has nothing to do with religion.
No one will ever replace this showman. It is a very different world now.

He had class, people like Tyson are thugs with who can fight but have no idea about philosophy so they don't last in real life.

Cheap trash talk from loser Lyle
Greatest loud mouth and arrogant asshole
A clown you mean
I followed this man from the beginning and by that I mean from the Olympics . When Ali fought Sonny Liston I was working second shift and I snuck out of work to listen to the fight on my radio in the parking lot. I could have lost my job and I didn't even care my attitude was I'll get another one .
Muhammad Ali was the smartest fighter that I ever seen in my life by far .
The way Ali starts floating is beautiful to watch. His punching speed is ridiculous. Truly the heavy weight goat
As Ali himself said " i float like a butterfly and sting like a bee there's no one as great as Muhammed Ali"... true that
A reliable friend told me, Ali was at a diner eating one evening, and a fan asked him for his autograph. Ali stopped eating, and gave the fan an autograph. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

That was Beautiful, Thanks! The Greatest Ever!
Im not into boxing but Muhammad Alibwas something specia:l pzazz, skill, humour, sheer determination and swlf belief. What an amazing combination in one man.
I don't think many appreciate the power that Ali packed ... he did more than sting, he had tremendous force in both hands. Incredible that he kept on fight so long.
very underrated jab.
When they're coming in at one per second or faster, you better have a plan.
One of Ali 's best qualities was his resilience. He could pull all the energy out of your body and at the same time make you believe that you are winning. Suddenly, you're the spectator of a knockout and there's nothing you can do about it.
Absolutely
Soon
He played scientific mind games with em 🦾
Rope-a-dope
Exactly...You just described the G.O.A.T
Ali being gone from our world still makes my eyes full of tears to this day. Such a marvelous person he was. RIP my hero! Allah May Except You In High Heavens!!!
And Ali still looked good & had humour not like the typical boxer with an angry puffed up face. What a great character. Glad I lived in his glory years to see him.
For many of us who watched it happen all those years ago, the banter between Ali and Cosell is just as memorable as Ali's unmatched greatness in the ring.
He was a true artist in the ring. He gave two decades of unrivalled entertainment. The footwork, the combinations, bobbing and weaving, no one could match his grace. For me, he was the greatest! RIP MA!
Bless your honest heart and mind...
Being from KY Ali always has a place place in my heart.Entertaining smart in the ring . He was the greatest and PRETTY! .Next to Elvis , he was the prettiest man I've ever seen .😂
And HE WAS PRETTY!!
"I've done wrestled an alligator, tussled with a bear - I handcuffed thunder, and threw lightning in jail. Bad."
Been watching Ali for decades and he never fails to make me smile. What an extraordinary human being he was.
Ok Putin meat rider
I remember watching Ali back in his Olympic days and thinking he was the most exciting heavyweight that I ever saw. I consider myself lucky to have been around to see his rise to fame, his struggles and his triumphs. I'll never forget his surprise run with the torch as he struggled with Parkinson's to light the Olympic Flame at the 1996 games in Atlanta. Ali inspired a lot of young people of all colors with his life and his legend will live on for a very long time. We are lucky as a species to have such men and women come along to show us the way and to raise the bar for us to aspire to.
Moron. He was the Olympic champ in the Light Heavyweight division.
As a boy growing up in the 60s and becoming the teenager in the 70s. He made me proud to be of African descent. God bless Muhammad Ali. There is no and will never be another human on the planet as complete as he.
The only time I ever loved to watch boxing was watching Ali, the Greatest. The Greatest Of All Time Boxer.
That’s odd, Ali was one of the greatest Americans ever and you and MAGA are America’s greatest traitors.
My friends and I would all gather in the early 70s and watch it for free. They’ll never be an era of boxing like that. Plus, I also have to add this. Actually, Tyson‘s fights were free on Wide World of Sports when he first turned professional on Sundays.
Wow the early 70's were 50 years ago. Cant imagine living that long and still remembering. Im 28
Yep, Same here. Those were the best of times.
Celebrate 🎉
Yep. That thing called TV.
Bless him, he was the greatest. What a man he was. Nothing but love for this unbelievable man of principles & poetry who stood up for his beliefs. RIP Champ🥊🥊🥊
What beliefs..... that a man was entitled to respect because he chose Islam. Bullshit.
So well put. Ali stood for what he believed and paid dearly but never faltered. I don’t think it’s about whether one follows the Muslim faith but rather Ali’s adherence to his beliefs in the face of enormous pressure.
@@drjimjam1112 Ali used the Islam to get out of serving his country, yet he did not go to a Muslim country to live. He was a selfish coward.
Principles? Spare me
@@timhallas4275 A door, thinking....so nice!
Ron Lyle was my coach for some years every single day after school i would train with him at the Denver gym. He loved us like his own, taught us everything he knew which i will never forget, very great coach you are missed 🫡🫡
I’m glad they bring him up because he was a famous heavy weight champ like the rest of them but no one talks about Ron Lyle . Respect
There aren't many boxers who could take the punches like Ali could.
I feel fortunate to have lived through the Muhammed Ali era.
As a kid growing up in the 60s, I really hated him. His arrogance really irritated me. It wasn't until I got much older and learned much more about him I realised just how great he was. I was deeply upset when his health started to decline. He was certainly something very special.
Me too
I’m somewhat envious but I got to live through the Tyson era so that makes up for it 😁. I almost feel bad for modern folks though as the hvwt division in boxing has sucked for a long time
@@brianmeen2158 That is sad.
That you think that Tyson is comparable to Ali..
Ali was bigger than boxing. He was a leader and a man of conscience.
Early in his career, he did something I NEVER saw any boxer do.
He was beating up an opponent, and he asked the ref to end the fight. He didn't want to hurt the man.
He opposed the Vietnam War -- ending his career at the time.
Ali was a man of character, to be admired for much more than his boxing.
I was born in 73, so I only heard about Ali.
The era of, Ali and, Frazier was incredible. Peace
Maaaaaannnn, what you saying...YES! I was in my mid-teens and my dad was a HUGE boxing fan. I remember we had this huge monstrosity of a tv, a flat screen that was housed in this huge cabinet. Had these little wheels under it so it could roll around. maybe like a 36" or 40" back in the late 70's early 80's. LOL. That tv was only turned on to watch boxing and we would have a house full of people! Those were some wonderful times as a kid. The fight game was never better, even to this day.
@@StatetrooperBillyBill I also traded the TV for the guitar. No regret. Boxing as we knew it is gone. Peace
@@tima.478 Someone's house was going to be that spot. That was OUR era. We lived it . Peace
Your grammar gives me a headache 🤕
@@RandyMorris-wq7tr Real talk! ✌
Ali fights were all EVENTS, each and every one of them. Most on regular tv at the time, no pay per view crap. Ah, those were good times!
This is a Prime TV-quality documentary with a moral compass. Awesome voice over, marketing/advertising/influence arrangement knowledge. The whole shebang. If you were a stock I’d be investing in you Warren Buffett style.
When you think of all the greats that Ali defeated, you have to give it to him.
no KO power
@@italianwaterice9594 So? But he did have KO power and he KO'd a lot of people. I think people say that because he allowed himself to get hit too much in the 70's.
3 out of how many he fought?
Don't need it
A win is a win@@italianwaterice9594
@italianwaterice9594 , Ali finished Frazier, same Frazier who was taking punches from 243 lbs Buster Mathis like its nothing, Mathis was an undefeated boxer before fighting Frazier.
He was poetry in motion and a kind gentleman. I love when he gestured to the referee to stop a fight because he didn’t want to hurt his opponent. It left me gaping and teary eyed. I remember that I had posters of him in my room when I was 10. Now I truly know how great he was inside too!
Ali always had a game plan. His fights against Frazier were the best but when he fought Foreman, Norton & Spinks he was brilliant too. He did his homework every time. Best boxer I have ever seen.
For those who haven't seen it - look up the Ali v "Big Cat" Cleveland Williams fight. His prettiest and most devastating win. Pure class.
I know Ali wasn't the hardest puncher in heavy weight, but I personally think Ali's right hand hit way harder than people expected it to!
Ron lyle started boxing when he was 30 in prison and started taking pro fights that same year, outboxed ali for 14 rounds then got clipped, had a slug fest with George Foreman and they dropped each other multiple times (3-4 in foreman's favour) with last knockdown being ko in Foreman's favour
@@izmirurla35 what in the world does that have to do with Ali hitting harder than people expected?
As for your comment it was round 11 of 15, Lyle was well ahead on 1 card 2 ahead on another card and a draw on the last card, seeing how Ali usually fought he would take Lyle to deep waters and drown him if he didn't TKO him in the 11th. With 4 rounds to go after Ali clearly won round 11 had the ref not intervened then this fight was still up for a majority decision win for Ali. As for Lyle, I'll give him credit he did good until things fell apart for him in round 11.
@@jk_46you are right speed, timing and full extension gave Ali his power not brute strength like Lyle, Foreman, Frazier. He also had the he best chin in the business
What was people's expectation of his right hand?
@@jk_46 Fighters always say they should not have stopped the fight he wasn't protecting himself just a punching bag.
I was young, but I remember my father watching Ali fights in the 70's.
I feel blessed to have watched the phenomenon that was Muhammad Ali.
RIP champ.
Me too with my Dad in the 1970s.
Same here, sadly only the debacle vs Holmes I was old enough to remember and knew what was going on .
Also the period of Sugar Ray ,Hearns ,Hagler, Duran etc ! That's when I really turned pro !
Those were the days. RIP Dad..
Now when last time we watched it on TV.
He is indeed GOAT, on and off the field. I did not see any athlete come closer to his whole of stature. RIP Champ
Truly, the greatest dot not just in Boxing, but in humanitarianism… I am 63 years old and he is still plastic on my wall… I have a whole area dedicated to him… Such an inspiration to me… But more importantly to the world
I dont like boxing, but watching Muhammad Ali and his adversaries fight is something special
Then why don't you like it
@@liltonydeAngelo my father, who is a year shy from 80 years old, doesn’t like boxing either.
Additionally, after Ali’s return in 74, my father was working about 14 hours a day, for 6 days a week. So you can guess his tiredness.
Furthermore, when Ali had a match, those matches were usually made around 03:00 am to 05:00 am due to time zone difference.
Even in that tired situation, and at that light time of the night, apparently (as I was yet to be born), he would wake up an watch the matches of Ali.
He had a different effect on people, which made people who weren’t liked boxing to watch Ali’s matches.
If your question wasn’t a rhetorical one, I hope I could have explained one of the several possible perspectives; which is “not liking the game but liking the player”, somewhat the opposite of the saying “don’t hate the player, hate the game”.
Ali beat Liston, Foreman and Lyle. That’s good enough for me to call him the greatest. But he also beat Frazier, Norton and Shavers, so that’s the icing on the cake.
Liston ,Patterson,Chuvalo
You ever hear of a guy named Rocky Marciano? He retired and was never beat! Probably the best fighters to ever live.
I am an Ali fan but he DID NOT beat Ken Norton even Ali admitted he lost but the judges gave him the fight(s) . Ali said" Kenny had a style I couldn't beat". I watch all their fights and I seen CLEARLY that Ali lost as well
There "NEVER" will be another Ali,in this Era of Boxing,he has defined what a" G.O.A.T" is
The Greatest Of All Time!!!!
He was not only in the Arena of Sports,he was a champion of Civil
Rights as well!!!!!

Those were the best days for boxing. Ali brought back boxing into prime time sports. Him Frazier, Sugar Ray, all the good ones. It’s gone now, I guess it’s all UFC. I miss good artful boxing, all weights too.

Ali taught us much about self pride, honor, courage and perseverance. 💪🏽
Lyle gave him pretty solid competition and challenge there!
Played to a gameplan and didn't gas out, as he was expected too, and matched a more pugilist approach that Ali was known for! Pretty impressive! And ran it to the 11th with a lead in the scorecards! Great fight.
There will never be another Muhammad Ali, man had heart unlike any other....will always be remembered
I was never one for fighting as a sport. But even as a little white girl, Muhammed Ali was a hero, not only to the civil rights movement, but to standing up to the false power that tries it's best to dominate. He proved himself indomitable, honorable, ethical, seemingly fearless beautiful, intelligent and witty. He was a hero, those who believe they should fight, if called to do so by the leaders of their country, without question, will never comprehend. Some of us were born with a conscience and question everything. He was an exemplar of living with conviction , love, bravery & to the end had a sense of humanity and humor, no matter how serious the gov't tried to paint him in a bad light and deeply punish him as an example to others who dare. An example of strength , living clear in his convictions. I know there's no one who's perfect, but this man was and is an inspiration, his life a beacon. Thank you sir for shining a light. I'm grateful for having been touched by it.
Your comment reminds me of his quote; " no one can be perfect, except in intention" !
Oh Yes..no Boxer could compare to Ali intelligence!
That was a beautiful comment.
Beautifully put he was an inspiration to many for so many reasons, a rare treasure, a hero, activist, philosopher exemplar and boy could he entertain!
legit
When Boxing was Boxing, nowadays, the fights I watch should be called 'Hugging'
float like a butterfly sting like a bee his hands cant hit what his eyes cant see..... GOAT
Alis left was lightning , his right was thunder
👍👍
One of the most beautiful men ever. Used his words well, never swore, questioned gracefully, and without rancor.
And he trash-talked daily. I mean, I don't really mind that, but I wouldn't have minded if he swore either... I don't get the logic that swearing is bad but belittling your opponents isn't. I guess it's an American thing, the fascination with trash-talking and the repulsion at swearing.
Ali could be cruel,mean and egotistical. He was horrible to frazier and the racist garbage he spewed on chat shows once elijah Muhammad got into his ear was despicable. He was a truly flawed man....there's a lot I like about him but there's a lot I don't. He is hero worshipped to the point that not many can be objective about him at all.
Lovely comment❤
@@shojaejlali1290 he was a human being and he had faults. As a little girl I despised Cassius Clay and his big mouth but after five fights I had fallen in love with Muhammad Ali and his predictions, his confidence, his self-value, his self-love.

Muhammad Ali was the Legendary GOAT inside and outside the ring.
The Ali era was full of legendary fighters who were 15 round conditioned fighters unlike the jokes of today who blow after 6 or 7 rounds and are no where near the calibre of fighters of yesteryear.
i love how you explain things, making everything clear and enjoyable!
Love the clip with Ali and Cosell with Cosell saying the champion is going into the fight with his confidence shaken 😅

What gladiator's they were, among other's, and all a joy and privilege to witness at work!👍🙏🥰💕💯
Wow what a beautiful commentary thank you for shaping the words that describes what so many of us felt about such a man Muhammad Ali

I’ve been a huge fan since I was a little girl in the 70’s 🕊️♥️🕯️and met his daughter at my Los Angeles clothing salon in 2004, whom gave me a signed copy of one of his books, The Soul Of A Butterfly ❤ Such an honor, to have crossed starry paths with her at that time in my life, as I was at the height of my martial arts, kick boxing and jujitsu practices.
It was great growing up in the 60s and 70s watching Ali fights.
We were privileged. He was an inspiration.
Yeah, it was just great having it on regular TV, so everyone could watch. I hated it when when suddenly it was a special pay video event.
80's too, with all the legendary middleweights battling each other
He was so fast!
2003 to now is the best era to live and witness because VYBZ KARTEL is the greatest human being.
I met Ron Lyle when I was in Middle School. In the 80s, I had to arrest him on a warrant when I worked on a PD. Later I taught at his old high school and had a few of his boxers who worked out at his Red Shield boxing club. I liked the guy. The irony of it all.
Ali was the greatest! What a great boxer, what a great showman, and what a great human being! I miss you, champ!
I met him once and chatted to him privately - nothing like the bragging showman from the ring or in interviews. Just a very thoughtful, kind, and decent guy who always stopped to talk to his fans and sign autographs. Years after I met him I saw an interview where he said that he never declined a request for an autograph because he always tried to remain cognizant of how much the moment might mean to someone. That was him alright - gave me a lovely personalized autograph that I still treasure - I have it framed below the classic photograph of him standing over Sonny Liston.
Ali was the greatest heavyweight of all time in so many respects. Footwork and the speed of the jab being his prime qualities.
The Greatest. Not just in boxing, but also as human being, in charity, professionalism, political talk, ambassador for the poor and disadvantaged....list goes on. A perfect human. How badly we need Ali back in this sick world.
Magnificent, stunning and yet somehow incredible timing and sizing up of his opponents. Ali is still the best I've ever seen, and I was never a boxing fan until him. RIP Ali.
Ali was the only boxer i've ever enjoyed watching who showboated during a fight.
Same - funny I cant hardly stand it from anyone else lol.
He never showboated distastefully. Peace
@@RandyMorris-wq7tr right... The opposite of Conor McGregor
It’s crazy..never thought about it like that🤯I think you’re right🥊it’s probably because of who he was not just in the ring...
He had the greatest charisma, humor, of any athlete i've ever seen full stop! He and Howard Cosell was the greatest 2 man show in sports ever!
More proof that Ali is the GREATEST BOXER OF ALL TIME!! He fought ANYBODY and EVERYBODY in THEIR prime.
Legends are born once, never die in history, nor replaced. RIP Muhammad Ali!
AS long as their is Boxing, Ali's name will Always reign Supreme, he truly was the greatest of all time's.
"there" !!!
I'm not sure about that.
Iron Mike was/is better !
ALWAYS and I say as person born and raised from the same hood that TYSON is from and even Tyson would agree.
And he lost 5 years at his prime. Just imagine what his record would have been.
Hated him as a kid. Was a Frazier kid. But man, over the years watching these old films. No doubt the greatest of all time
No doubt
I was the same way with Michael Jordan 😂😂😂
The Thrilla in Manila was the greatest fight of all time. Those last rounds in that heat were just BRUTAL ! Nearly Inconceivable !! Relentless. That was only fight I ever saw that I thought " Damn, 1 of these 2 guys is really gonna Die in the ring."
When boxing was worth watching. Like everything else it has changed. Miss these old ring bouts.
Ron Lyle should always be remembered, excellent video , Ron Lyle was a monster truck that knocked down George Foreman too, R.I.P RON LYLE 😎🦋🐝🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really liked Ron Lyle. He was one of the better boxers during that time.
@@kevinquinn3763 I still love Ron Lyle and tear up when watching old interviews and fights, ALMIGHTY LORD stopped making Goliaths like these after 70’s😎🦋🐝🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A great fight by two monarchs. just fantastic s.
Fire video as always! Some of the more interesting aspects of Lyle were put on show here undoubtably!
Thank you! I've wanted to make a video about Ron Lyle for quite some time now. What a monster of a fighter!
And do not forget Irish Jerry Quarry defeated Ron L. One of my fav fights. Jerry outslicked Ron at every turn. And yes, RL tagged him several times, JQ's iron chin saved him from going down. It just goes to show you just how good JQ was. George said there were 3 guys hit him like no other, Ron Lyle, Gerry Cooney, and Cleveland Williams.
