You know time heals all wounds. That was one of the saddest chapters in the history of boxing. The sport of boxing took a very huge backlash over that fight. For instance, boxing was taken off the air for nearly a decade since that incident.

However, it was very good to see Benny's son at the end forgive and reconcile with Emille Griffith; Who I didn't believe was purposely or intentionally trying to inflict great bodily harm on Benny "The Kid" Paret.

It was just one of those cases where the system had failed and betrayed itself.

Good vid, thanks

Yeah, this whole documentary was good.

It came on the USA Network back in the day.

I'm so shocked that nobody's made a movie about Emile Griffith yet. Dude's story is amazing.

Yea I remember when the documentary premiered. This was as sad as when Benn encountered McClellan the first time after 10 years. I felt bad fir both guys because you could see Benn conscious was killing him.

Yeah, I watched the documentary years ago.The room got a little dusty.

Griffith had to carry all that grief for so long. And Benny Paret's son is such a classy man.

Great documentary, I feel like watching it again now.

Considering he hit him repeatadly after he was out after Benny talked loads of s hit to him and insulted his sexuality, says otherwise.
