re: "Assault in the Ring".....Billy Collins-Luis Resto incident

This documentary pretty much confirms what I've always thought about Lewis, but my feelings are still torn about Resto. Part of me wants to think he is a total piece of shite, but another part of me thinks that he had too much blind faith in Lewis, and he didn't have enough sense to realize the implications of what was going on on.
I also have mixed feelings about Collins Sr. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a son, but at the same time he doesnt come across as the most sympathetic person out there either. If it's true that Collins Jr could have fought again but didn't because Collins Sr was afraid it would frick up the lawsuit...well, thats just fricked up. Also, I've read that Collins Sr was not only big into raising pitbulls for dogfighting, but that he would bring his kids to the dogfights and make them watch...well, that's pretty fricked up too.
Good documentary, but depressing as hell.
PS...on a side note, as a kid I loved Aaron Pryor...now I'm totally having second thoughts. Then again, do you think he knew what was in the water bottle, or was he just following orders from his trainer?

This is what I took from it. I don't think he is the sharpest tool in the shed and was very naive. With that he knew what he was doing was wrong. He just couldn't imagine the consequences of his actions though.
