http://www.hbo.com/events/assaultinthering/index.html HBO is debuting (August 1) a new documentary about the circumstances of the infamous Billy Collins Jr. vs. Luis Resto (Panama Lewis) fight in Madison Square Garden. Resto and Lewis both give their personal accounts of what happened. I'm really interested in seeing this. Trailer: [yt]cZNk77X_Wxw[/yt] The heart that Collins Jr. showed in the fight was incredible.
Here's a Sports Illustrated article about the fight. http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1014414/index.htm
It was a tragegy. Resto was a near dunce street kid. I knew him from when he trained at Gleason's in the early 1980's. Lewis was a druggie and a low rent crook. They both knew 100% and were caught like the **** they were. Resto is so thoughtless he is only doing it for the payday. I went to an event months ago to hype this at a press conference and he was sitting in the corner by himself checking out chicks. Zero remorse.
