    Lupe Pintor-Johnny Owen. So sad because the man had so much of his life ahead of him and because his dad was his trainer, right in the middle of the whole thing when Johnny got knocked out.

    Not counting ring fatalities, I'd probably go with Louis getting ko'd by Marciano.

    Foreman may have gotten robbed vs Briggs, but if you think he got robbed vs Jimmy Young, then you need your head examined.

    This made me feel very sad for everyone involved - obviously Billy, his wife, mum & dad and family but even in some ways Resto - people do bad things I guess - people try to get away with things they shouldn't - but you can't turn back time - there's so much regret that it's tragic really - the other 7 episodes are on youtube BTW - but it is very poignant and very difficult at times

    Damn, I never thought I'd be watching this...I've avoided the subject of this fight and what happened...it's so painful to watch this..to see poor Collins in the ring before the decision and how horribly battered he was..the whole damned tragedy..

    the documentary is a brilliant peice of work but it really makes you think about hindsight and the stupid things people do when they are young and the passing of time etc living with regret and guilt - and it also makes you think about the power that denial has over human beings too - all very difficult - but I then some people say the darkest hour is that before the dawn (or something like that):hey - forgiveness is a heroic quality and redemption is something we'd all wish for ourselves
