Did anybody else watch the hbo doc, assault in the ring? Hbo docs usually are very good, and this one was no different (I believe this one may have been sold to hbo from an ind film maker tho). Its a must see for boxing fans, imo.

^^it was a joke being they are both cheaters/disgraces.

I finally watched the doc, it's like panama lewis still holds his spell over resto to this day. And bullshit to see panama with all his jewelry still making money off of the sport while resto lived in a tiny room for over 10 years doin shit. Panama is truly a piece of shit

did anyone get the sensation the director of the film was pretty much taking advantage of Resto, a drug addict? Clearly Resto is gone, shows all the signs of a junkie and the director would take him places and basically tell him what to do (confronting panama, admitting what he knew to his sons & family members, Collins father & mother, etc.). Now that I think about it more he really exploited the guy and we really didn't learn anything knew. Of course Resto knew his gloves were loaded. Of course Panama was the man in charge. The only new information was the mix in the bottle, which may explain the Aaron Pryon/alexis arguello fight.

Still a good documentary, just sayin.
