The story: At Madison Square Garden, on the night of June 16, 1983, two young, tough, and promising young boxers - Puerto Rican Luis Resto and Irish American Billy Collins Jr fought the match of their lives.
When the match was finally called and Resto was announced the winner, by chance things became complicated.
A member from the Collins team shook hands with the gloved Resto, realizing something no one seen coming.
A crime apparently had been committed.
Next, a hearing ensued.
The claim was that the fight was rigged, due to the filling being removed from Resto's gloves...
18 days after his victory, Resto's boxing career was over.
But the controversy surrounding that evening had just begun...
