Some of these repeat facts, but all contain good information about this continuing boxing tragedy.

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!

Here's any earlier story about Resto-Collins, published a few days ealier this week, before the press conference:
