HBO documantry on Resto and Collins fight, anyone watch it?

[PoetryInMotion]

here's what i wrote in the other thread

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

Yeah Resto knew, but he finally came clean, I believed that he thinks about it everyday. Wheather its because he feels bad for what he did to Collins, or because of what he ended up doing to his life is another question. I think it might be both.

I disagree with most what you said but each to his own.

Panama and Resto both knew what was going on. For that, the game has never forgiven them and they were right to get a life time ban.

I know a lot of people are throwing what Marg was accused of in the same boat as this but I think there are worlds of differences.

For example, I have been involved in boxing for a long time, I have put on many gloves and put many gloves on other fighters. I can say there is no way you can put on a pair of gloves and not know there is something wrong with them. The weight difference alone will tell you something is wrong.

Even if at first you can't tell, as you punch someone repeatedly, you will know. Watching the footage of that fight, you could see the glove was "deflated" after just a few rounds.

In the case of Marg, it was something in the wraps that was the accusation. There is no way to tell if someone is wraping your hands if there is a substance there that is hardening them. I have seen hundreds of hands w****d and I can say people wrap hands so differently it amazing.

Some wraps are "soft" while other wraps feel like they have something inside of them and they are just w****d incredibly tight. I'm not saying Marg didn't know (for the record I think he did and have stated that many times here) I just think that if he really didn't know Capetillo was doing something to the wraps there is the reality of him not knowing until it was discovered like it was.

Watching that though, made me want to punch Resto, his family and Panama Lewis in the face. What ***in scumbags they are....

where are the people that said pryor's wins against arguello were legit?? where the **** you at ****ing clowns. he beat my boy's ass by cheating of course. AA hit him with everything but a bat in one round and pryor would come out like a man possesed the next after drinking some of the "magic juice" that lewis was giving him. if pryor had another trainer prior to lewis then those fights might be legit but every fight with him should be questioned. i ****ing knew they ****ing cheated!!

Truly I haven't seen the documentry but anyone who proceeds to fight with his hands wrapped in plaster and pads missing fromhis gloves should be banned for life and get what he deserves. I am glad he has no money and is brke he deserves it for what he did to Collins and his family. Even if Collins didn't die I would still fell the same way. The guy was a young promising kid fighting his way up 14-0 with 11 KO's and this bum because he was a BUM 2-8 feather fisted D BAG let his trainer load his wraps and remove padding from his gloves? Too boot it was the third time he allowed this? I have no sympathy for him what so ever.

As for Lewis well can you stop anyone from using him as a trainer? The answer is no. You can stop him from being in their corner while the fight is on but you can't stop someone from walking in his gym or paying him for his services. Just goes to show you what type of fighters out there are about. Anyone who woul duse him for anything involving boxing and allowing him to eat after what he did is just as bad as the man they are hiring. I mean look at it this way this guy is a part of an assault using plaster and removing padding in his fighters golves how can you trust him to teach you anything?....Lefty
