Here is a photo of Billy Collins following the fight:

This is what happens to a guy beaten by an opponent with Plaster of Paris handwraps, and tampered gloves.

All of us in boxing have seen guys who were beat up pretty bad. But I decided not to post the actual picture so the image did not "pop up" when you open the thread, but also out of respect for the Collins family. A link seemed more appropriate.

I remember watching this on television live when it happened.

If the Collins family needs any volunteers for their legal team, my hand is in the air!
