I don't know If I should watch it.

It is brutal i would advise not to, i watched it once when i was little kid and it was disgusting.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I still have yet to see it... Nor do I want to. I hate Lewis with the intensity of 1000 suns and hope Resto rots in hell. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

Rest in peace, Billy! Take solise in knowing you'll never see these men again as the place they're going isn't anywhere near you.

This is exactly why I can't watch it... It is litterally bringing tears to my eyes typing about it.

Here you have Resto who served a scentence that someone who steals money out of a cash register at the gas station they work at gets. He's "suffering" so much... Must be nice to be able to suffer cuz someone else is dead due to his actions.

Now you have Lewis... "Banned" for life. this is the most amazing thing to me. He can still train fighters... He can still go to fights. I don't care if it's the US or not. He's still been to fights in the US. I could smell this piece of shit 4 miles away... and he's still been to fights in NY. WHAT?!?!

He says he's suffered... His father passed away while he was in jail... To bad! He suffered a heart attack... Well, IMO the attack didn't attack hard enough!

No doubt; I am debating on whether to view this travesty or not. I have always wanted to see it; but now that the chance is here I just don't know. Pretty sick, twisted sh#t is that

Thanks though Mick; good of you to post it.

a few days ago it came out that not only were the gloves fucked with but the handwraps were done with plaster

Resto admits loaded handwraps!
Former welterweight 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 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. Resto, along with his trainer Panama Lewis, were both convicted, incarcerated for 30 months, and received a lifetime ban from boxing. The brutally-beaten Collins quickly fell into a downward spiral and died in a car accident nine months later. An attorney for Collins' widow Andrea Collins-Nile today filed a motion in Federal District Court to reopen the previous case against the State of New York. That case, alleging "gross and wanton dereliction of duty, breach of contract, assault and battery, conspiracy, fraud, and negligence of the commission" for failing to detect the doctored gloves was dismissed in 1994. With Resto's revelation today that his handwraps were also tampered with, something the NYSAC should have detected, Collins' family believes the original judgment would have been different. Resto's admission came to help promote a new film titled "Cornered," which documents the scandal.

Don't even want to see it.

its a sickening story and a real black eye for the sport.
of course Resto knew.he and Lewis should have gotten long long prison stretches. shame on the fucking joke commission too. this was years ago but they`re still as bad ,they consistently have the worst referees in the US.peoples lives are on the line in this sport

[JT Rock]

I'm 3 rounds in and in hinsight you can hear the weird thuds of Resto's less padded gloves and plaster wraps... I would love for someone to smash that motherfucker in the face with a coal shovel...

If Resto wasnt so light fisted he could have killed Billy in the ring Sad really fukin sad how those two doosh bags Resto and Lewis can sleep at night

[JT Rock]

Geezus this fukin fight is brutal, Resto is such a heartless pussy that even fighting with stones on his hands he dosent have enough to KO a brave Collins. Resto is a pathetic little bitch...

The other thing that sucks is Collins, is being Bludgeoned to death and Resto's hands are lighter so he is a bit faster as well...

[JT Rock]

The last sequence of the fight is chilling, when Collin's father finds out the gloves have no padding, and then panama Lewis says " Thats The Glove They Gave Us" "Thats The Glove They Gave Us" and Resto has enough nerve to Hug and then Kiss Collins, just like Judas... I hope he burns to death

That was a truely sad day for Billy Collins. I have the fight and have watched it once or twice but what i never really undestood is why that prick(Lewis) thought he needed to resort to those tactics. Because early on in the fight it looked like resto could have beaten Collins in a fair fight. I know Collins was undefeated till that point, but still looked plenty green IMO, and Resto looked to seasoned for him. Just a thought.
