The truth has finally been revealed regarding one of sports' darkest hours. Former prize fighter Luis Resto admitted today at a press conference in New York City that he not only battered "Irish" Billy Collins Jr. for ten rounds during a boxing match, with padding-removed gloves, but that his knuckles were pre-cast with tape soaked in plaster of Paris - before the hollowed gloves were placed over his fists.
As the 25-year-anniversary approaches of the incident that created a sensational scandal following the Collins-Resto welterweight bout at Madison Square Garden in 1983, Bronx native Resto finally came clean -- supplying many details during a monumental media gathering at Jack Demsey's (correct spe lling) in midtown Manhattan.
