Stop Holding Your Hurt #RTTBROS #NightlightStop Holding Your Hurt #RTTBROS #Nightlight George Foreman shared, “Back when I was boxing in the '70s, Joe Frazier hit me in the face, Muhammad Ali knocked me out, and I got knocked down a couple of times by Ron Lyle before I got back up and claimed victory. All those fights had one thing in common: once they ended, I barely remembered the pain. I forgot about my weak knees, the cuts, and the blood in my eyes. If it weren't for the films of my fights, I would've completely pushed those memories aside. It's the same when you go through tough times; don't let the pain and disappointment stick around.”Forgetting What Lies Behind"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 3:13-14, KJVThere is profound wisdom in George Foreman's reflection on his boxing career. The legendary fighter recalls the punishing blows from Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, and Ron Lyle—moments of intense pain, weakness, and vulnerability. Yet what stands out is not the vividness of these memories but rather their fading quality. Without film evidence, the physical suffering would have disappeared entirely from his recollection.How often we do the opposite in our spiritual and emotional lives. We cling to past hurts, disappointments, and failures as if preserving them in perfect detail is somehow necessary or beneficial. We carry these wounds not just as memories but as active, festering injuries that continue to cause us pain long after the initial blow.The Apostle Paul understood this human tendency. In his letter to the Philippians, he speaks of "forgetting those things which are behind." Paul had much he could have held onto—his persecution of Christians, his imprisonment, the rejections he faced while spreading the Gospel. Instead, he chose to release his grip on the past and "press toward the mark."This deliberate forgetting is not denial or pretending that difficult experiences never happened. Rather, it is refusing to allow those experiences to define our present and future. It is choosing not to dwell in a place of pain when God is calling us forward.Like a boxer who must recover from one fight before training for the next, we cannot move into God's purposes while anchored to past wounds. Our hands cannot grasp new blessings if they are still clutching old injuries.Perhaps you are holding onto something today—a betrayal, a failure, harsh words spoken to you, or an opportunity lost. Ask yourself: Is carrying this memory serving God's purpose in your life? Or has it become a weight preventing you from running the race set before you?The Lord offers us a sacred exchange—our pain for His peace, our wounds for His healing, our past for His future. In surrendering our hurts to Him, we don't diminish their reality but rather prevent them from diminishing our tomorrow.Today, consider what you might need to release. What film of past suffering are you replaying in your mind? What pain are you preserving that God is inviting you to surrender? In letting go, you may find—like George Foreman—that the memory of the pain fades while the victory remains.Let us pray: Father, help us to release the hurts we cling to so fiercely. Teach us to follow Paul's example of forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead. May we not be defined by our wounds but by Your healing touch, not by our past but by Your promised future.

In this episode Ian & AL remember one of the magical nights of Irish boxing - Bernard Dunne v Ricardo Cordoba - incredibly 16 years ago this week!The lads also look back over TJ Doheny v Nick Ball & the controversy that followed, Mick Conlan's comeback & future plans aswell as all the fights from Madison Square Garden on St. Patrick's Day. We look back over the phenomenal career of one of boxing's greatest EVER, George Foreman who passed away recently after a career that saw him fight Muhammad Ali, Joe Fraizer, Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Gerry Cooney, Evander Holyfield, Tommy Morrison, Jimmy Young, Axel Schultz & Michael Moorer. A total of 76 wins and 5 losses.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYMuhammad Ali and Larry Holmes called him the hardest puncher they ever faced, harder than Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson. Randall Tex Cobb said: “He hit so hard you felt it in your ankles.” The man they were talking about was Earnie Shavers.Once when George Foreman was asked who the hardest punchers he ever faced were, George responded, “Gerry Cooney, Ron Lyle, and Cleveland Williams.” When asked why Earnie Shavers wasn't on that list, George responded, “I never fought Shavers, thank goodness!”Actor Sylvester Stallone once got a taste of the punching power of Shavers when he invited Shavers to audition for the role of “Clubber” Lang. While Stallone was sparring with Shavers, Earnie, not wanting to hurt him, was hitting Stallone with soft jabs. After a few minutes, Stallone said, “Show me something real Earnie.” So, Shavers let him have it, punching him once near the liver. Stallone later said: “Earnie nearly killed me. I went straight to the men's room and threw up”.....You can read the full blog post here.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area. He relives great moments from this time and beyond, focusing on football, baseball, basketball, and boxing.

Ron Lyle was an intimidating fighter during a great Heavyweight era. He & I had been discussing a series of interviews to chronicle his career, but unfortunately, he passed away in 2011. This interview took place 01-25-2010.

FOR some, the Natasha Jonas-Mikaela Mayer was a ‘robbery'. For others, it was fair enough. This week we wonder if controversy is a consequence of the current scoring system, or merely a symptom of the social media age.We also look ahead to John Ryder taking on Jaime Munguia this weekend, as well as the bill in Belfast.This Week goes back to 1976 and a slugfest of the ages: George Foreman vs Ron Lyle.

CANELO ALVAREZ doesn't seem keen on a clash with Terence Crawford and who can blame him. Though this would be a ginormous event, it might also be the worst idea in the world for the Mexican superstar.This was supposed to be the year of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder. But instead it's the year of Fury vs Francis Ngannou. We examine the reasons why the heavyweight division is eating itself and consider the chances of a brighter 2024. Women's boxing is also discussed, or rather the changing face of it, as several leading stars signal their intention to join MMA league and a world title fight is set for 12-three-minute rounds.And, in This Week, we go back to 1975 and a bruising humdinger between Ron Lyle and Earnie Shavers.

George Foreman vs Ron Lyle in 1976! This fight is one of the greatest in the history of Heavyweight Boxing! Deremy and Jose talk about where George Foreman was mentally after he lost to Muhammad Ali, and how this fight was a redemption story for him. They discuss the face that this was also a redemption story for Ron Lyle and his amazing and inspiring story. The guys breakdown the fight and all of the intense action! Is this the best win of George Foreman's career? Where does this fight rank with other great heavyweight fights of the 70's?

In this retrospective Podcadst, Mike Goodpaster delves into the intriguing journey of Scott LeDoux, a heavyweight boxer from the 1980s who unexpectedly earned a shot at the WBC Heavyweight Championship against Larry Holmes. LeDoux's notoriety grew as he displayed explosive behavior on national television, catching the attention of Howard Cosell and the public. He had a history of clashes with familiar adversaries, as seen in his surprising attack on Johnny Boudreaux during an interview. Despite his exclusion from Don King's roster, LeDoux continued to compete against Duane Bobick and Olympic gold medalist Leon Spinks, often falling short in critical moments. His split decision loss to Ron Lyle left many believing he deserved victory. However, LeDoux's resilience showed in subsequent fights, including a draw with Ken Norton and a win against Marty Monroe. While the path to his title contention was complex, LeDoux's determination and boxing skills played a significant role in his remarkable journey. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-a-goodpaster/support

Revisit the Pugilistic Classics with Dan Albert! This week Dan is joined by HaXxorIzed and Iggy to commentate and geek out as they watch young Big George Foreman SMASH other big huge guys with his MASSIVE FISTS in the FACE. Watch along as the boys go nuts over Foreman's demolition jobs, those being: Joe Frazier vs. George Foreman I, George Foreman vs. Ken Norton, and of course the classic back-and-forth insanity that was George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle, the man-fridge himself. Dan, Iggy and Haxx do their best to emphasise Foreman's underrated craft and technical skill that have allowed him to become the wrecking machine he's remembered as, but also just sit back and enjoy the sight of the big man rattling people's skulls with gigantic blows until they fall over completely unconscious.

Ringside Boxing Show: Special Guest Ron Lyle Former Heavyweight Contender --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michael-a-goodpaster/support

this episode of Bullseye the Podcast features Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Ron Lyle vs Ernie Shavers, Muhammad Ali, and Oscar Bonavena?...yep Oscar and more on this episode..It's INSAME!

Pat Mullin and Mark Radulich watch a classic Jerry Quarry spoiler fight and then for good measure we watch Quarry crush another contenders dreams in a matter of minutes. It's oh so much fun!

At 73 years of age, Leroy Caldwell can be found in the City Boxing Gym in Las Vegas waiting for the break he never had as a fighter. He fought the best heavyweights of the 1970s and 1980s and caused a few upsets. He's been to prison, he's been screwed and now he's trying to claim a debt he feels boxing owes him for services rendered. He sparred the likes of Muhammad Ali, Bob Foster and Sonny Liston and fought Cleveland Williams, Oscar Bonavena, George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, Ron Lyle, Pinklon Thomas and countless others. He also worked as a bouncer in Las Vegas nightspots, let an underage Mike Tyson in to one place, and he talks about life on the road as a heavyweight outsider.

Former heavyweight contender Gerry Cooney fought the likes of Ron Lyle, Ken Norton, George Foreman and Michael Spinks but it was his huge showdown with Larry Holmes in a racially charged war in 1982 that he is best remembered for. Cooney was brilliant that night, as he obliterated the naysayers who thought he had not earned his shot, but he was up against a 39-0 legend at the top of his game and Holmes won in the 13th round. Here, Cooney talks about the big fights, the descent into drugs, getting his life back on track and the current heavyweight scene in an exclusive interview with Boxing Life Stories host Tris Dixon.

Gerry Cooney is a retired Irish-American professional heavyweight boxer and host of his own national radio show, “At The Fights” heard on SiriusXM.Known for his big left-hook and his imposing size, the tall, lean Gerry Cooney had his first paid fight on February 15, 1977, beating Billy Jackson by a knockout in one round. Nine wins followed and Cooney gained attention as a future contender. Although his opponents were carefully chosen. He moved up a weight class and fought future world cruiserweight champion S.T. Gordon in Las Vegas, winning by a fourth round disqualification. Cooney had 11 more wins, spanning 1978 and 1979. Among those he defeated were Charlie Polite, former US heavyweight champion Eddie Lopez, and Tom Prater.By 1980, Cooney was being featured on national television. Stepping up he beat one time title challengers Jimmy Young and Ron Lyle, both by ‘knockout’. Although Young was stopped on cuts. By now he was ranked number 1 by the WBC and eager for a match with champion Larry Holmes.In 1981, he defeated former world heavyweight champion Ken Norton by a knockout just 54 seconds into the first round with a blisteringly powerful attack, which broke the record set in 1948 by Lee Savold for the quickest knockout in a main event in Madison Square Garden 

The Outer Limits of Inner Truth presents a Forensic Soul Analysis on a boxing legend. Gerry Cooney is a retired Irish-American professional heavyweight boxer from Huntington, New York. Despite relative inexperience, his exciting wins and size, aided by expert promotion, propelled Cooney into a lucrative bout with world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes in 1982.  Known for his big left-hook and his imposing size, the tall, lean Cooney had his first paid fight on February 15, 1977, beating Billy Jackson by a knockout in one round. Nine wins followed and Cooney gained attention as a future contender. Although his opponents were carefully chosen. He moved up a weight class and fought future world cruiserweight champion S.T. Gordon in Las Vegas, winning by a fourth round disqualification. Cooney had 11 more wins, spanning 1978 and 1979. Among those he defeated were Charlie Polite, former US heavyweight champion Eddie Lopez, and Tom Prater.  By 1980, Cooney was being featured on national television. Stepping up he beat one time title challengers Jimmy Young and Ron Lyle, both by 'knockout'. Although Young was stopped on cuts. By now he was ranked number 1 by the WBC and eager for a match with champion Larry Holmes.

This is one of if not my FAVORITE episode of all time as I have one of the greatest screen villains of all time NON from Superman 2. What a lot of people also don't know is Jack in the late 60's and early 70's was a world class boxer so we had ALOT to talk about!! Follow him on Twitter @MAnastasia and at www.familylegacythenovel.com as well as me on Twitter/Instagram @EarlSkakel Boxing O'Halloran was born in Philadelphia and lived in Runnemede, New Jersey.[2] Fighting as "Irish" Jack O'Halloran from Boston, he was a heavyweight boxing contender active from 1966 to 1974. The 6-foot, 6-inch O'Halloran was undefeated throughout his first 16 professional fights. During his boxing career, O'Halloran defeated former title contenders Cleveland Williams and Manuel Ramos. He also defeated Danny McAlinden, who won a bronze medal in boxing at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica and later became the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion. O'Halloran's losses included defeats to Joe Bugner, Ron Lyle, and future heavyweight champions George Foreman and Ken Norton. In 1973, O'Halloran was close to attaining a match against Muhammad Ali when he was knocked out by Jimmy Summerville.[3] This ended his chances to fight Ali. Although O'Halloran went on to defeat Summerville by K.O. in a rematch, with only three more wins and five losses he was never again a serious heavyweight contender. The California Boxing Hall of Fame has listed O'Halloran as one of its inductees of the 2009 HOF class.[4] Acting career Retiring from boxing in 1974 with a record of 34-21-2 (17 knockout victories),[4] O'Halloran turned to a career as an actor. He first won the role of ex-convict Moose Malloy in the 1975 film Farewell, My Lovely, featuring Robert Mitchum as private eye Philip Marlowe. After Farewell, My Lovely O'Halloran was offered other roles, some of which he turned down, including the role of Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me which went to Richard Kiel.[5] Superman film series This led to other tough "henchmen" style roles which culminated in the role he is best known for, Non, the menacing-but-mute member of the trio of Kryptonian supervillains banished to the Phantom Zone by Jor-El (Marlon Brando) in Superman (1978) and inadvertently released by Superman in Superman II (1980). In an interview with Starlog Magazine in 2006, O'Halloran stated that he and Christopher Reeve did not get along during the making of Superman II. On one occasion, he had Reeve against a wall, but Richard Donner intervened and dissuaded him from hitting Reeve.[6] (He also later discussed this incident on the How Did This Get Made? podcast's Episode 24.1.)[7] Despite the clash between them, O'Halloran stated that his heart went out to Reeve after his 1995 accident, and commended him for helping others with spinal cord injuries.[8] According to O'Halloran, the reaction he gets most often from fans is "My God, he can talk!".[3] He is also an active participant on his own messageboard on the Internet Movie Database. Other acting roles O'Halloran has also played supporting roles in King Kong (1976), March or Die (1977), The Baltimore Bullet (1980), Dragnet (1987), Hero and the Terror (1988), Mob Boss (1990), and The Flintstones (1994).
