*Billy Collins Jr vs. Luis Resto* Full Fight!!!

[CutMeMick]

Alright, this has been a LOOOOOOONG talked about fight. Theirs been a couple of threads here in regards to the fight.

This fight between Billy Collins Jr and Luis Resto is IMO one the worst acts of cowardness ever to happen in a ring. I know a lot of you have asked where you can see the fight and asked for footage. I myself couldn't do it as to be honest I've never seen the fight and I own it as part of my collection. Well someone has uploaded it to YouTube and I came across the fight just now.

WARNING!!! Let it be known that what you will witness is BRUTAL and can really have some type of effect WARNING!!!!

As I've said in the past I don't watch these kind of fights I also have Pintor vs. Owen, Paret vs. Griffith III among others...... I refuse to watch them.

Well then you've been warned.

I've only seen the ending of the fight as I was told about how Billy Sr. notices something funny with Restos gloves...

I just read up on the fight and i guess its the one where lewis tampered with the gloves...how the hell did lewis only get one year in jail Shit like this needs to be punished much more harshly...and I really have no desire seeing this fight I never wish to see anyone hurt in the ring permanently, and to know a trainer and a fighter conspired to do this here is just sickening.

Piece of shite Panama Lewis should be rotting in jail.Hard to watch in hindsight but Thanks for putting it up Mick.Did Resto actually know what lewis did...?Guess he had to feel the difference right?

Yeah I've seen this fight before Mick, truly disgusting sportsmanship. To only get a year in jail is unbelievable!

I agree.... How in the hell does he only do 1 yr. in jail?
Panama & Luis will rot in hell.

Yes, Spicoli.
Resto was aware of the tampering with the glove that's why he also served time in jail.

I agree Galaxy this shit! is sickening.

I watched this as a little kid my Grandad taped this fight it was truly sickening to watch. I just watched it recently again and i couldn't watch it all it truly was disgusting. The rumor has it Collins Jr committed suicide because he was going to go blind he was only 22 what a shame. What is amazing to me though is how Collins Jr took them punches flush he must of been one of the hardest boxers i've ever seen, he had a lot of talent and could of gone quite far IMO. If i remember right Collins Jr said in between rounds to his corner that something wern't right he felt like he was getting hit with a brick, truly disgraceful act by Lewis and Resto.

Ya I've never watched Collins-Resto. Just can't do it.

I was the same way for a long time about Holmes-Ali. I refused to watch. I finally cracked and watch it a few months ago.

I've never watched the whole Benn-McClellan fight either.

[donnydarkoIRL]

I watch Benn McClellan regularly.

It stops me having that invincible feeling and often makes me question "woulkd i know something was wrong."
