From the page: “Former welterweight Luis Resto has acknowledged that the beating he gave the late Billy Collins Jr. in 1983 — in which, over 10 rounds, he pounded Collins with tampered gloves that each had two inches of padding removed — was even worse than previously believed.

Resto, at a news conference on Thursday in New York, acknowledged that the tape used to wrap his hands in that fight had been soaked in plaster of Paris, giving him a pair of hardened casts underneath his unpadded gloves.

Collins suffered from blurred vision and depression after the June 16, 1983 fight. He died in a car accident about nine months later.”
