Assault in the Ring - Special Edition DVD "...Has an unexpected elegance. It's a carefully etched example of the ripple effect at work in real life...'Assault in the Ring' is a powerful and painful tale on many levels" Neil Genzlinger - New York Times "This one digs below, drills through and soars above. In plain street English, it makes ya watch." Phil Mushnick - New York Post "...a masterpiece of storytelling with plot twists worth of Alfred Hitchcock." Barry Horn - Dallas Morning News ASSAULT IN THE RING chronicles the life of boxer Luis Resto 24 years after the scandal that changed his life forever. Resto fulfilled a boxer’s dream in 1983 when he was able to conquer the previously undefeated Billy Collins Jr. in front of a capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden. But Resto’s post-fight victory celebration proved fleeting, amongst allegations that padding had previously been removed from his gloves. The Resto-Collins scandal vilified Resto’s reputation and ultimately sent the badly-beaten Collins to a tragic end. The film examines new evidence about this boxing match turned 30-minute assault, and reveals much more about the pre-fight activities of Luis Resto, his trainer Panama Lewis and the athletic commission representatives. SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE: Never Before Seen Interviews: Former Fighter Howard Davis Trainer Freddie Roach TV Commentator Teddy Atlas Trainer Lenny Dejesus discusses the sordid history of cheating in boxing and gives an inside look on how its done. “HE DID THE SAME THING TO ME!” - Exclusive footage of Robert Sawyer confronting Luis Resto about whether or not his gloves were tampered with during their fight in 1983.
