Assault in the Ring.

Agree. Resto didnt kill Collins.

He could have though. Boxers die every year with untampered with gloves.

But I agree with the OP. I felt the documentary tried to paint Resto as the victim, when in reality I don't feel like that's the case. And I don't agree with the notion that the NYSAC took away his livelihood. He took that away from himself.

I personally know a few journeymen type fighters who never cheated. They walked away from the sport with all the physical injuries and nothing financially. Where are the documentaries portraying them as the victim?

Overall I was disappointed with the documentary. Like I said, it paints things in either black or white, with Collins Sr. and Lewis being the bad guy, and Resto being the "tragic hero." It's more complicated than that. I didn't feel like a lot of new information was brought to light as a result of this, except for the fact that Lewis still makes a good living training fighters. And it did seem like both Resto and Lewis were playing to the cameras on a number of occasions.

i feel the same way man

im particularly disgusted with collins sr, seems to me like HE was the catalyst to jr's untimely death.

The claims against Collins Sr. were unfounded in my opinion. He wasn't interviewed, so his side of the story was never brought out. We're supposed to take Bob Arum's word for it?

His father is a big headed ******* that sued everybody and failed.

I also got the feeling that Resto was aspineless *****. He knew they did something ro the gloves, and he keeps crying like a *****. **** him.

Actually they found elements of sodium and calcium in margaritos wraps. Sodium and calcium are in almost evrything including onions. For all we know the "plaster" could have been salad residue.

LOL or a taco

i thought it kinda ******...it was just an hour and a half of beating a dead horse, panama and resto already were convicted and did time, and both know what was going on...we all knew this before we watched the movie...much of it looked staged and even scripted...the director made a big deal about how panama requested payment each time...you think resto wasn't paid? of course he was, and the acting job on his part was terrible, his true feelings on the matter were shown right after the incident when he told the media he did nothing wrong...he's thought about it every day? bull****, he's just a broke ex (?) junkie who needed some cash and here's this guy who's willing to pay him money to "get to the bottom of this"...c'mon man, it was almost hard to watch how fake the whole thing seemed

Again, we only got one side of the story here. The director was clearly trying to paint Resto as the victim, so I wouldn't say he's all that credible. Everything they said in the film might be 100% the truth, but you can't say without hearing what Collins Sr. had to say. Just because the filmmaker suggested it doesn't make it true.
