      This link explains a lot. Ron Lipton spent a lot of time with him as his sparring partner. Whether he was really guilty or not, Carter was a huge *******.

        Don't mention Ron Lipton's name on this forum, it may cause a virus. Just like you wouldn't mention Lipton's name at a dinner table because it may sour the food. He's the guy who screwed Chris Eubank against Collins and had Barry Hearn point a gun to his head.

        Lipton is a tool, take everything he says with a pinch of salt.

          Could be true! I heard the same thing people even said carter is an ******* in real life and he wasnt even that great of a boxer.

          but that movie was awesome!

              Lipton is a standup guy who knows more about boxing than anyone on the forum aside from maybe John Scully and Rockin. He sparred with Rubin Carter, Emile Griffith, **** Tiger, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier to name a few. No fear at all from this guy. He risked everything for Carter, and got **** on in return.

                  Your so full of **** Juy .. Hearn actually tried paying Lipton before the fight for Lipton to be biased to Eubank because he knew Eubank wasnt in shape and that Collins was very very fired up for the fight .. Lipton didnt accept Hearns bribes and took no money from him but was good enough not to report him when he really should of .. when Lipton did his job fairly and Collins won, Hearn trashed Lipton's hotel room afterwards and Lipton hasnt refereed a WBO fight since (Jose Torres knew Eubank since Eubank was 16 and didnt do anything about Liptons claims) ..

                  Lipton explains some things in the link below-

                    Pull your head out your ass, Lipton was clearly biased towards that thug Collins and should of been banned from refereeing on the spot.
