Brutal

For those of you who caught HBO's excellent documentary, "Assault in the Ring", there are plenty of words that could describe your reactions to the aftermath of 1983 Luis Resto/Billy Collins, Jr. bout.

Disgust.

Bewilderment.

Anger.

Confusion.

For those of you who have not had the chance to check out the film, catch the replays and remember this word:

Brutal.

Here's a clip from the movie. Let me just say that when a sports topic is given the HBO treatment, it's worth viewing, whether you are into the game itself or not. HBO could make a flick about any single or group of fights in its extensive archives. Yet, what stuck out to me about "Assault" was that the premium channel took a chance on something outside of its reach by picking up the Eric Drath documentary.
