Assault in the ring Boxing Documentary

Exactly!!

 

Im pretty sure his wife even said that Collins was cleared to fight. In the documentary they talk about how his father wouldn't let him fight but he was cleared to.

 

this + 1 good

 

If it was my son and I was in his shoes I would have pulled out my pistol and killed him on sight.......:deal

 

Did that fight directly end his boxing career - arguably, possibly, yes.
Did it indirectly end his boxing career- Absolutely 100% yes.

 

Oh cut the crap, you 30,000 **** posts mother****er. Collins, jr was an adult who died in a car accident. End of discussion.

 

Why was he in a car accident? Because he was drunk, you know why he turned into an alchy?

Because his father wouldn't let him fight!



The only source that Ive seen say Billy Collins suffered blurred vision has been wiki. The documentary talked about how he was cleared to fight but his father wouldnt allow it for fear of losing the lawsuit.

 

Several people in the documentary (including a fight doctor) said Collins was clear to fight again.

Of course Resto and his team's actions were the main factor in Collin's decline afterwards but the choice not to fight, the drink, the drugs, the car accident, were all things Collins himself could have avoided.

Its a bit unfair to blame them for that. They did their time for what was a despicable thing to do and they're paid up. That said, Panama is an obvious **** and clearly knew what went on.

He would have done better to admit it.

Also, despite all his talk of helping Resto out when he "makes it", he actually seems to be doing pretty well at the moment judging from all that bling!

 

Thats a hard watch, but not for the reasons I thought it would be. A tragic event for two people, Collins and Resto. Both wanted success in a sport they loved and one was put in a position by peers that he looked up to like family, trusted and believed in that ultimately ruined his life.

The other was cheated, brutally assaulted and from sources in the programme stopped from continuing his passion by his own father for grand financial possibilites. Ultimately leading to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide.

Panama is a bag of dog ****, he knew exaclty what he was doing and yet plays the "poor me" bollocks. Its disgusting that this man is allowed near boxing in any sense let alone make money and continue to be respected by peers with in boxing.

Quite surprised that the Collins legal cases met closed doors as you would think the evidence was huge to point at negligence.

 

That's what I was wondering, perhaps this whole thing runs deeper than is being made out? in the film there was mention of some betting going on, big money being placed on Resto. How many people had involvement in that aside from Resto's corner? it makes you wonder, again why so many closed doors? were there others who had something to lose if this all came out?
