*Cornered* - the story of billy collins sr - luis resto

[Azteca]

This is a must see, guys!!!!

Main story is Panama Lewis (the fawking cheat) removed padding from on of his fighters gloves. Luis Resto. His opponent was Billy Collins Sr. Billy was undefeated at the time and a great prospect. This fight was expected to propel him into a title shot.

Billy Collins Sr. took a horrific beating with Resto's bare fist for ten rounds. He received permanent damage to his eyes...and his boxing career was over. Injuries forced him to retire.

He committed suicide a year later. He was dirt poor and boxing was a way out.

Wow...looks like a great doc. I just recently obtained this fight about a week ago. I also met Panama Lewis a few years ago; seemed like a nice guy...it was a bit surreal to realize that this guy who I was talking to and joking with was one of the most infamous people in boxing history.

he wouldn't remember me now unless he got some good ass memory, my father maybe but me? nah, but I used to train with him in a gym not too far from my way, he was MAD cool and he was like he didn't know what was going on he just fought his fight and that was that, he didn't want to do that to him. **** was sad because as a result he even lost his license but he didn't lose his heart and I remember when he was training he was always saying he was going to return, nothing big but he wanted to return..

the gym used to have local Boxing events with members of that gym and others nearby in a neutral facility and people used to gather up to see it, it made good money because the locals would show support. Luis Resto is a class act, I can personally vouch for that, him, Juan LaPorte, Saul Mambay and a few others who trained there from time to time... **** is sad that Panama Lewis did that because even though Resto wasn't the greatest fighter ever he was a nice guy and great to watch, unforunately due to that incident he lost his niche and went downhill.. last I saw him he was training in early 2000-2001 and he was looking great.. 100

Look at how he grimaced in pain after his gloves were touched. You're telling me he didn't feel himself hitting Billy Collins with his bare knuckles. Grab a clue man........

You can keep bumping this **** as much as possible... but the fact remains this dude Eric Drath is a piece of garbage... I know a ton of people who have emailed him for additional info on the movie, release date etc... and he responds to nobody and has done nothing but post this teaser trailer on youtube...

maybe its the dudes way of generating hype and interest... but be responsive to the ticket buying public and maybe more folks would spread the word.

I was excited when I saw the trailer a few months back.. now I ain't even supporting this movie by seeing it after the way this dude has behaved.
