Youre missing tons. I have 30 amateur and professional Lyle fights and I know there are more.

Has anyone seen the entire Lyle-Shavers fight? The footage that I have seen skips a lot of it. If so, was it fun to watch?

The full version is available silent. It's a great fight but would arguably be more enjoyable with the ambience of crowd noise and commentary. And more than one camera angle.

I dont know if the Lyle vrs Shavers fight was aired live over the radio in Denver,
like a lot if not most of his earlier fights there.
Lyle was really big there in the early to mid 1970's.
(although there was some loss of interest in him after the Quarry fight
and particularly the loss to Ali in 1975.)
