Hard to believe that, but I am not questioning it. Still, I remember when Collins was "Stevie" and hung around Brockton, Dorchester and Southie, and with his short red hair and watch cap, and could have been cast as an IRA terroist in a movie.. He was well liked back then and was trained by a young Freddie Roach at the Petronelli's Gym in Brockton. He and Sean Manion both.
