The Billy Collins one is horrible. didn't his opponent have loaded gloves?
He died if I remember correctly

Edit: k, he lived, it ended his career though
Opponent was a piece of shit... I remember this story from that doc where resto goes and confronts his ex coach
Disgusting what they did to that guy
It fucked his eye sight up completely (tore his iris) and he killed himself in a car accident years later after not being able to keep a job and falling into a hardcore drinking problem
What documentary covers this?

Margarito did this also iirc

Resto and Panana are two world class pieces of shit.

And Resto has to be one of the weakest punchers of all time, smashed a guy with loaded gloves for 10 rounds and couldn't stop him. Feather fisted all day

I'd like to see the effect of punching with tampered gloves on the hands. They have to be mixing an adhesive along with Plaster of Paris to keep it together and crumbling. That would be hell on the hands but it obviously helps or they wouldn't be doing it.

One misconception regarding boxing is that the gloves and padding are there to protect the fighters heads. That is not the case. The gloves were put on to protect the fighters hands to extend matches and promote throwing more head punches. It was almost entirely body punching and the public wanted to see headshots. They knew how to take a headshot in a way to break a guys hand. Usually the forehead.

Gloves make the superficial impact of the blow spread. The heavier the glove the worse it is on the brain but it'll look better on the outside. Helps with broken noses and teeth things like that.

Ironically, don’t follow boxing like I used to but this was free on bt sport and kovalev has a hell of chin

He was fukt up in the 8th or 9th (can’t remember which) and looked like he reached a point where he couldn’t take any more shots but came back in championship shape and dealt with it well
