We all like to criticize what he did but we all have done something that has hurt someone knowing full well it would hurt them, we ourselves are not without fault, but if we cannot forgive him and give him a second chance to prove he has changed then how can we call ourselves, virtuous or good, and even more so how can we ask to be forgiven if we do not forgive?

I watched this video, then cried for Billy Collins Jr when it was over. I am a Puerto Rican whose also from the Bronx, NY. I too boxed as a youngster but never got past the Golden Gloves level, which for me, was an achievement. However, this is why it breaks my heart even more... To know that one of my countrymen, with more talent than me, chose to cheat rather than train harder. And, how this shortcut cost another man his career and subsequently, his life. Still, I have to acknowledge that Resto was just a kid at the time and kids simply do stupid things! And, even further to that, I don't believe that Resto is the same man today that he was when he fought Billy Collins. None of us are the same person we were when in our 20's. I agree that he should be given a second chance, but he should definitely stay away from boxing. For me it is simple, Billy Collins Jr can't go back into boxing, so why should Resto be allowed? Resto should concede this on his own and step away respectfully.

I feel conflicted about Resto ... He was taken advantage of by his Manager and thus was somewhat of a victim himself. On the other hand he is a grown man and could have refused to participate in this BS, so for him to partake in cheating he must've had a questionable personality to begin with. I have no doubt he's remorseful, and the cheating was probably not his own idea, but it was his choice to go through with it, and he should not step a foot in the ring ever again. He jeopardized the Sport, and him becoming a Boxer again after ruining another Boxer's career would jeopardize Collins.

Food for thought: It is good that they never let him fight again. But I think there is a place for him outside of the ring but within the sport for 2 reasons. 1) Second chances can really give a person a new life if they use it well. 2) By being visible in the sport, with his story being known, he becomes something of a warning, a warning that won't be nearly as loud from any other place. A little anecdote: I have a friend, have known him since the early 90s (I was born in 80, he is a year or two younger than me). He ended up going to jail in his 20s on a felony assault (regular, punch & kick style assault, not that other kind). I forget how many years he was locked up for, it was like 3 or 4 years or so. But he used his time while incarcerated to do a complete 180 from the trajectory he had been on. When he got out, he made the most of it and essentially started a completely new version of his life. Someone who also knew him (the brother of the woman who had his kid before he was locked up, and also a friend of mine since middle school) said straight up that he turned into 'dad of the year'. 2 or 3 years ago, he got his felony record expunged due to remaining on the good side of the law. So he is no longer in that former felon category that a lot of people never get out of. Has a house in a nice place in the next town over (which is a mostly forested town, really nice area), a family, a nice life. Nothing fancy, but a good life. Second chances can be an amazing thing to people who realize how special they really are and make the most of them. edit: One last thing: Everytime someone who has f**ked up bad sees someone who has made the best of a second chance, they are shown an example of what they could be, what they can strive for. An example to be followed.

Man, I used to be a boxer, still do some every now and then. I'm very passionate about this sport... I don't know much what to say, this story gets me a bit teary eyed and gives me a heavy heart. The thought of Billy's career being ruined because of the cheating, and it is clear he was passionate about it, because it ruined his life. I imagine the boy's only dream was to live his life boxing. But at the same time, it's also clear that Luis is also very passionate about it. He had his passion taken away from him, he was never able to go back to what he loved doing because his coach wanted to cheat. In the end he is a victim too. I'm very passionate about boxing too, I can understand how painful it is for them. I get very sad every now and then knowing that some stuff that happend in my life made it so I didn't follow my path into professional boxing, but I still know I always have the option to go back, to go pro again, even if life makes it hard. These men had it taken away from them, they never could. If something took away from me the possibility of fighting forever, I guess it would also ruin my life. I feel very sad for them both.

Collins tenacity and determination are certainly very admirable, but they cost him his vision, career and eventually his life. I had laser eye surgery and losing vision for a minute was terrifying, imagining it being permanent in one eye is mortifying. He really should have given up even if no one else noticed it. Sometimes the fight just isn't worth it. I realize in the heat of the moment it is hard to gauge just how badly you're hurt thanks to adrenaline, but we must keep experiences like this in mind to protect ourselves in the future.
