    To say resto didn't know is complete bs. did you see the worried look on resto's face when billy collins father started saying 'there's something wrong with the gloves'. He knew all along. he even waved lewis over because he knew he had been caught.

    Hopefully someone makes/finds a copy of this soon for us non-HBO people. I want to see it, but also, kind of don't. This part of the sport has slowly began killing a respect I once had for it before seeing it's sleazy underbelly.

    Firstly,Panama Lewis comes off here,and in the past resembling a cheap snake oil saleman in need of a Greyhound bus backing over him...two times.He holds zero regard for the fighters he surrounds himself with,the integrity of the sport...it still has some,and concerns himself more with the cheap cracker-jack Jewelry and self pity he wallows in.I have no doubt that he cares more about seeing himself on camera and hearing his own voice basking in others glory than he does hold genuine concern for any past,present,or future boxer.....He does not deserve to be anywhere near a ring and definitely does not deserve to be in the company of contenders,journeymen,and champions.He neglected and dismissed his professional responsibility to all of them.....and he's an asshole.

    Such a heartbreaking story all around. So many lives affected. It is clear to me at least that Resto carried the weight of what happened all those years. He did his time behind bars, but more so in his heart and mind. He seems to be a good man with a good heart. I cant say the same for Panama Lewis. He used Resto and led him down a path to disaster. Resto trusted Panama so much that even when he knew he was wrong, he let him make decisions for him. I dont think that Panama ever has come to terms with what he did or if he every even thinks about what he did and the damage it caused. Resto deserves foregivness and to be free of whatver he did in the past. As for Panama, he will have his day.

    I'm just glad they had sub-titles.

    I love the ending edit that Panama still "trains fighters outide the ring".

    What the hell does that mean? Backyard brawling? He'd fit right in...

    Is there a way I can play this off Phil's link without downloading the exe file? If not is the exe file safe, surely it's full of adware etc?

    Resto's situation is pitiful..However, the mastermind (Panama Lewis) does not deserve any mercy. He does not have any remorse..This sad story will linger for generations. Oh add Antonio Margarito on this shameful topic...(with Javier Capetillo)
