Luis Resto illegally remove padding from his gloves—providing him with bare knuckles—25 years ago in a bout against Billy Collins Jr., but today it got worse. After 2 1/2 decades, Resto confessed, with his trainer’s help, to dipping his boxing tape in plaster of Paris, providing him with a rock-like arsenal to pound Collins to a bloody pulp. With this new revelation, Resto makes Mike Tyson’s ear biting incident look like child’s play. A bit of history:

• Luis Resto was accused of removing padding from his gloves, ultimately leaving him practically bare-knuckled for his bout with Collins Jr.
• That fight left Collins Jr. with severe eye problems and sent him spiraling into deep depression.
• Tragically, Billy Collins Jr. died in a vehicular accident 10 months after the bout and many speculated that his agonizing ordeal scarred for him severely up until his death.

Resto confessed to the widow of Collins Jr. at a film screening for a documentary about the infamous match.

“I should have said something. I lived with it for 24 years. I had to let it go. I’m sorry I kept my mouth shut,” Resto said, according to The Tennessean. “I went to see Collins’ ex-wife. She accepted my apology. I went to the cemetery, too, to show my respect to Billy Collins. I told Billy, ‘I’m sorry for what I did to you.’ “

Talk about a direct-non-stop-one-way-ticket to hell. Here’s the trailer for the film called “Cornered.” It will be screened in Nashville, Tennessee.

How is this guy not serving 25 to life in a federal penitentiary and battling really aggressive (and horny) prisoners on a daily basis?
