  • ... You know what? I wanted Phoenix Wright..

  • Resto was exploited, he made the decision to fight with plastered hands, but he was Panama's fight dog who did what his master told him. This is apparent in the film, and in fact, it's crazy how much control Panama still had over him during the time of the filming.

    Panama is a world-class scum bag, piece of shit narcissist, and I would enjoy hearing the news that he fell into a pit of fire.

    1:06-7 is truly heartbreaking...

    At least Billy's legacy is preserved as one of the toughest to date.

  • i just imagine who else used illegal substances in the ring before we will never know :/

  • at 0:52 you can clearly see the glow is fucked up, who ever wore boxing glows will notice knockle part of the padding is missing or separated from the rest of the padding. this days shit like that wouldn't pass .it went on for 30min.

  • Whos the asswhole @ 0:45 that said he couldnt see where the padding was gone? Watch the documentary and look at those gloves. How can you not see where the padding was taken out?!

  • Just saw this last night. Great documentary. I actually empathized with Resto a bit. He manned up. Panama is GUILTY as a muther fucker.

  • check out 0:53 in....Resto's gloves bend. No way that should happen.

  • @plummy29 heel yeah buddy

  • Botton line Billy Collins would of smashed Resto that night if it wasnt for the crooks to cheat

  • Panama Lewis is a piece of shit! Simple. That man should be shot, before being brutally beaten. He has a history of this crap and the fact he can still manage in some states is unbelievable. Absolute cunt and so is that two bit spik he had fighting for him. He should shoot up and die.

  • Travesty...Panama Lewis should be banned from the sport. Period. God has already taken care of Resto's bad judgment. You cannot simply say "oops, my bad" and live your life. He was the one who pulled the trigger, but Panama Lewis was the accomplice who handed Resto the gun loaded with hollow-points.

  • @armaan90 Very well said...

  • Are they fucking insane? He not only removed padding and used drugged water. But the fucking asshole dipped his hand wraps in plaster. Thats fucking insane. Thats attempted murder not just assault. Resto and Lewis should be in jail for at least 25 years for attempted murder. It just shows you how great Collins was as a boxer. He could take getting beat with pretty much concrete for so long.I'm surprised there wasn't' even more brain damage.

  • I remember this. I watched that fight. I thought Collins won. He took FAR more damage but was clearly the much, much better fighter. To this day I keep a newspaper clipping in my wallet telling of how the crooked trainer was training Tyson. How he basically got away with it. Crying shame. Collins was one of the best you will never see thanks to those arsholes.

  • Where can i see the full film, i am very interested..

  • damn i watched the entire documentary this morning, and they aalready shut it off youtube cuz of copyrights. It's an HBO film, look at when collins sr grabs Restos gloves it's like he's grabbing his hand there's no padding on the knuckles.

  • nancypelosicunt,

    Fuck you bitch. Resto is not italian. He's Puerto Rican. Fuck you!!! How dare you call him a greasy WOP. He's not even that good.

  • theres cheaters in every race,especially italians.

  • im white I box and No Truely blacks are better at boxing then whites , and whites are better Are ufc So no.

  • ...you taking notes Margarita? They call you the "Tijuana Tornado" because you suck!

  • DIE IN HELL PANAMA SCUMBAG LEWIS!!

  • panama lewis should get the death penalty

  • Carlos "Panama" Lewis is a low life piece of shit that needs his brains blown out! He not only took 2" of stuffing from the gloves, but he plastered Resto's wraps and "Juiced" his water bottle! Resto knew damn well what they did and he was the one who came forth about it all. That's why you see him panic immediately when Collins dad grabs his gloves! Make no mistake though, Carlos pulled this shit before when he was in Arron Pryors corner against Arguello and he's a fucking scumbag!

  • thats why im sticking to mma now and days, boxing is still the sport who got it all started for me and combat sports, but mma fighters are showing more heart, they dont get paid millions from one fight, they dont hide and dodge opponents, they just go out there and put on a show for the fans!!

  • 50% of the padding removed from the left and right glove, plaster of paris used in the hand wraps and a respiratory stimulant mixed in the water. I'm glad Resto's life spiraled into drug addiction, prison and homelessness. Antonio Margaritto deserves the same fate, glad Cotto didn't meet the same fate as Collins Jr. Panama Lewis helped Pryor cheat V. Arguello, with spiked water bottle. Total piece of shit, the lot of them.

  • resto did not kno wat they did 2 the gloves tho

  • In assult in the ring resto says and admits that he saw panama take the glove into the bathroom, and unless he was playing with it i know he was tampering with it!

  • panama is a snake but resto said he aint know what tey did with the gloves

  • Luis Resto certainly did know the gloves had been manipulated. He also knew that plaster of pair was used illegally in his hand wraps. He also knowingly drank from water bottles spiked with respiratory stimulants while in his corner between rounds. These are all admissions made from his own mouth.

  • the funny thing is even with all that done to swing the battel resto's way collins never went down!  I wonder what he could have done if he was still around?

  • he woulda been like an ali figure prolly

  • What a terrible special. Collins sat on his ass at the request of his father. His eyesight was fine. Folks boxing is dangerous. Hell collins did not die in the ring. He died in a drunk driving accident. No loss of future earnings. He died a drunks death.

  • Would you put your son in the ring again knowing how corrupt boxing was? and he would've still been in training not drinking if it hadn't been for that fight. Panama Lewis is a piece of shit! Fucking spiks are nothing but cheats, Remember the LL bball game when that spik kid was like 16 pitching against 12yr olds

  • panama fucking put plaster in the gloves that fucking sick bastard. wat a dirty fuck.

  • i rank panama lewis up very highly in my list of piece of shit niggers who ruined boxing

  • no need for racism

    Or the n word

    Lewis was a little piece of shit

    Color means nothing to people who dont have respect for other lives

  • i know what you're saying my man, the shit this guy pulled though. it's deeper then a game, this man ruined lives. destroyed hopes and dreams and cost people their well being, their means to make a living, etc. so maybe my choice of words wasnt the best but the guy is a piece of garbage and there isnt a stiff enough penalty in this country for him. i love boxing but look at what a circus it is now, how god damn dirty it is. have you watched a hopkins or a floyd mayweather fight? zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • do you guys realize that literally the lewis bastard put PLASTER in those gloves PLASTER man. Fucking concrete almost.

    Hitting him with rocks for a whole 0 rounds

  • ment to type 10

  • Where did you get plaster from? They removed half of the horse hair padding from the gloves, essentially turning Resto's fists into "rocks" due to the reduced cushion. It's obvious Resto is lying about not knowing, just look at his reaction when he realizes Billy's father noticed the tampering. I'll give him one thing, it took a lot of nerve and shamelessness for Resto to go into Connely's corner after the fight, and pretend to be a good sportsman.

  • Former welterweight contender Luis Resto admitted yesterday 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

    look it up man.

  • while making the documentary luis admitted to the makers that not only had the padding been removed but plaster had also been used in the padding, this was probably not found at the time realising theyd been caught out with the gloves, restos trainer was probably quick to dispose of this when they got back to the dressing room after the gloves were taken by officials.

  • One thing I hate is when a person will lie, or deny to their final breath rather then admit they are wrong, I refuse to do the same. You guys are right , so I apologize. I at first thought that their was a confusion between this fight and the recent Cotto fight from several months back.

  • ...because in the HBO special Resto admitted to plastering his wraps as well.

  • So THAT'S why white guys aren't good boxers......they don't cheat.

  • Oh my God. I saw this yesterday and just can not get it out of my head. I really hope that this message gets to the Collins family. I will not comment on Resto or Panama as they are not worth the time. My heart goes out to Collins wife, father, and the rest of the family in Tennessee. I hope all of you find some peace in your lives and I am terribly sorry for your loss. I also hope that you all get rich from any upcoming law suits!

  • Margarito should be in jail

  • sad story

  • any one else think billy collins looks like andy lee

  • i'm afraid that business man like BOB ARUM'll put all under the dirt and MARGARITO'll continue to fight and CAPETILL to train.

    MONEY RULE,imagine how much money ARUM'll own in a rematch between COTTO and MARGARITO(the cheater)!!!

    SAD,i hope i wrong but this world makes the worst things for money.

  • i told you,........MARGARITO suspended for a year(only) and ARUM just talk about the possibility to fight out of USA...SHIT!!!!

    i have no words about the shit that goes around boxing!!!

  • Is Panama Lewis still in prison? If not he should be.

  • he was only in for 2.5 years

  • no he and luis served 2 1/2 years of a 3 year sentence

  • how can we see the whole movie?

  • Billy Collins was a good friend of my dads. they went to antioch high school together in the early 80's and he told me a story about one night they were at an antioch football game and e.s.p.n. came up to Billy wanting an interview and he natrually had on a dirty white T shirt. so he told me dad who was wearing a nice silk button up to trade shirts with him for the interview so he would look good for the camaras..just thought id share that with you all. and my dad said he hated alcohol..

  • you need to learn some manners asshole

  • Haha, pretty cool story.

  • Wow, here this is a tragic story about a man's life being ruined and taken away too soon by a couple of crooked people, and all you stupid youtube idiots say anything except argue about race and color, and fuckin pedophilia? What is wrong with you people. This had nothing to do with race. Billy Collins and Luis Resto could've both been part black, white, spanish, asian, and middle-eastern and it still would have been just as tragic. This has nothing to do with color or race. Its just about life.

  • Does anyone know the release dat for this?

  • @marty0603 Billy Ray Collins is your uncle?

  • tampered gloves

  • Good luck, Eric. I never heard of this story before, and I look forward to seeing your film.

  • fucking terrible. i watched the fight (not when it happened, i was a real youngster.) each time he gets hit he looks suprised, like he's getting hit twice as hard as he should be, or the punches are effecting him twice as much

  • I thought the same thing when I watched it on tv. Collins looks banged up out of all proportion to what Resto gave him. I'd seen Resto before (on ESPN), and he was no Big Puncher.

  • hopefully some of the money from this will go to the Collins family!

  • This story has made me feel very sad. I hope Lewis and his corner men or whoever else was behind get tried. They deserve nothing less. Then again, it would be only fair to say that Jack Dempsey should have been tried for attempted assault too when he put that horseshoe in his glove.

  • It wasnt the gloves, his hands were fucking cast in plaster! That scumbag ought to be tried for murder!

  • Very interesting and compelling story, not to mention very well done.

    I would like to see this in it's entirety.

  • Are we supposed to feel sorry for that prick at the end or something? I wanna see this documentary because this story has angered me for years.

  • lewis & resto will get theirs.  Karma!

  • You can say they already have, though Resto obviously has not put it behind him.

  • Billy was an amazing young man who I was fortunate enough to have known (and his wonderful wife Andrea). As for Panama Lewis & Luis Resto, well, I hope they are proud of their pathetic and cowardly place in boxing history. We'll never forget you Billy Ray.

    -Craig

  • yeah they are probbaly racist white guys who think the world is out to get them, thus motivating them to racism

  • What has this got to do with race? As you will realise if you actually read my last post I mentioned that Jack Dempsey (who is also white) should be subject to the same trial as Resto did. You obviously know fuck all about boxing and have no objection to murder. The guy had a hand in sending him to his grave so do me a favour and fuck off with your generalizations.

  • Racism? Do you know anything about boxing? Is it strange to see Collins getting battered like that when his past few fights nobody has been touched him. It's well documented that the glove had no padding and they found out his hands were covered in plaster... THAT IS LIKE PUNCHING SOMEONE WITH A CAST! Be in Collins Jr.'s position, he got hit with it 10 rounds, 30 minutes... and he still had the heart to not give up... your comments are real stupid

  • Hey akuonye your a piece of shit and a retard, it was a crime you don't, just move on. Go back to what ever third world hole you escaped from.

  • akuonye your are stupider than I thought. You write that "white people get away with Pedophilia everyday. Actually you say "pedofila" which is mis-spelled because you are an ignorant illegal spic. Do you think Pedophilia is limited to only white people? Go look at the websites posted by the government with pictures of those scumbags, there are alot of black and brown faces on there.

  • It was June 16, 1983, NOT 1977.

    And it has nothing to do with race, it have everything to do with a scumbag practically murdering another man in a boxing ring. RIP Billy Collins, Jr.

  • It's about time someone told the story. Billy

    was an amazing fighter. Wins-14 lose-0 12KO
