Anyone see the HBO special... "Assault in the ring"

Billy Collins took a straight fist to the face for 30 minutes...

fucked up...

Luis Resto and Billy Collins in 1983 fought in madison square and Resto's trainer, Panama Lewis, took the padding out of his gloves. Basically the fight went on for 10 rounds and Billy Collins, undefeated at that time, head turned into a watermelon because he was hit with plaster covered hands and no padding for the entire fight.

Fucked up shit... Billy died a year later by committing suicide. Panama Lewis has trained or advised fighters since like Mike Tyson and some other current names.
