Hi,

Im looking at writing a book about boxers and how their past's shape their futures so looking for some documentaries regarding fighters like tapia, mccoy ect or other fighters that's had a terbulent life but gone on to reach success, any help would be great.

This would be a look at the uglier side of boxing and how two people, a boxer and his trainer, ended the career of an up and coming fighter. It is a documentary called "Assault In The Ring". It showcases the fight between Louis Resto and Billy Collins where Panama Lewis, Resto's trainer, removed much of the padding in the gloves and tampered with his wraps and the terrible beating young Collins took in that fight.
