"Irish" Billy Collins in this fight faced Luis Resto who had most of the padding taken out of his gloves and had plaster of Paris on his handwraps. That's worse than taking bare-knuckled punches. Collins was never knocked down and refused to take a knee. Can we call him the best chin of all time? :deal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEVdywAtk50 Note: Jake LaMotta is commentating!
Vickie at the end. "Is it true that in England if you lose six or seven rounds and you can't win the fight they stop the fight?"
RIP Billy Collins He killed himself shortly after and it was a result of this fight.... really sad story
Absolutey disgusting! Makes me angry just thinking about it! He should of got a longer sentence! So sad. Amazing chin! Wonder where he would of got to if it was not for this scum bag
Alright that is enough! There is many English fighters with iron chins and great toughness. That is not true if you loose 6 or 7 rounds they stop the fight for the fighters safety
Is that right? Is that in the film? I've never seen the film. I thought it was an accident he had on account of the blurred vision.
