| Have you guys seen the documentary on HBO called Assault in the Ring about Luis Resto? Craziest story I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it or don't know the story, I suggest you watch it. |

| Luis Resto and his fight in 1983 against Collins Jr. There were some "questionable" actions that took place before and during the fight. Resto wants to know who did it to him, so he goes to Florida to meet with the trainer, Panama. It would make a great movie. Its about an hour and half long. I don't want to give the whole story away. |

| They gave an update on the civil suit brought on by the Collins family. I think the guy who put the movie together has huge balls. Those are some shady people he was interviewing |

| Panama did that shit and you can see it in the movie. He may have had 20+ years to work on his lies, but facial tells don't lie...and he was dripping with them. |

| It was a hell of a story. Very very sad to see, but it was good to watch and finally see the truth, that I think most already knew, come out. I would suggest everyone watches it, if you get the chance. |
