Cornered! Page #6

Synopsis: On June 16, 1983, in front of a capacity crowd of 25,000 at Madison Square Garden, the lives of two young men were forever changed during a controversial boxing match. A tough club fighter from Puerto Rico named Luis Resto fought Billy Collins Jr., an Irish golden boy, for ten grueling rounds. Resto was declared the winner, but within minutes, was accused of tampering with the padding in his gloves - in effect brutalizing Collins Jr. with his bare fists for thirty minutes. More than two decades later, Luis Resto is still a broken man shouldering the burden of his opponent's death; a prison sentence; and a lifetime ban from boxing. Resto relives that infamous night in New York City and exposes the sport's dark side - unfolding an emotional story which finally reveals the truth.

as it is.

If you kill me,

you'll never get what you came for.

Really?

And what is it

that I came here for?

You watch it, don't you?

On tape, after.

You'll never find 'em

'cause he hides 'em...

all of 'em.

- You're lying.

- Yeah?

Why would I lie

at a time like this?

It's no fun if you can't watch

the instant replay, right?

What I wanna know...

where the hell all these f***ers learned

to get so creative, huh?

I know. There's gotta be some kinda

serial killer university...

- they're not telling us about.

- And what they did to that store owner...

Gross, man. Damn!

Hey, that's nothing compared to

what I would do to that son of a b*tch...

- if he ever got into my store.

- Yeah.

Oh, yeah?

What do you have in mind?

# Don't hate the game

Don't hate the player #

# Better watch your mouth

'cause what you say might kill ya #

# Some want the fame

I have no shame #

# I'm just justified

# So please forgive me #

# Hold it together, man

You're falling apart #

# You must be nervous

'cause I see your heart #

# Makes no difference

why you're feeling this way #

# Look in my eyes

See I'm goin' insane #

# So let's play

Who is ready for the game #

# Keep your head up high #

# It's your turn, don't cry #

# Oh, who's ready to die #

# Now I'm comin' for you #

# I know exactly what to do #

# So tell me how you want it #

# Don't hate the game

Don't hate the player #

# Better watch your mouth

'cause what you say might kill ya #
