Cornered: A Life Caught in the Ring plot

On June 16, 1983, undefeated boxer Billy Collins Jr. a dream come true: a fight in the world's most famous arena: Madison Square Garden in New York. His opponent, Luis Resto, came from The Bronx and was considered hopeless by most observers. But the fight went very differently than planned: Collins was badly beaten and Resto was unanimously declared the winner by the referees. But after the match it turned out that Resto's gloves had been tampered with: the filling had been removed. As a result, Collins sustained serious injuries during the match.
