PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Jason Estrada: “Liked Lance, I don’t do too much talking. I hope everyone enjoys the show. It’s a great card with fighters like Aaron Williams and Joey Spina also fighting. I see Lance brought his whole squad. I’m going to have my street team tomorrow night and it’s going to be noisy.”

Joey Spina: “”The ‘KO Kid’ is back. This is my second fight back (since suffering a broken hand). My nickname’s ‘KO Kid’ and there’s a reason for that. I’m the ‘KO Kid” and I’m going to knock this guy out.”

David Whitton: “Seven years ago, my coach, Eric Lucas, fought Vinny Paz and broke up the party. We’re two strong punchers. One is going down and it’s not going to be me.”

Truth Revealed Behind Assault of “Irish” Billy Collins Jr

Posted on | April 3, 2008 | 1 Comment

BOXER’S KNUCKLES WERE CAST IN PLASTER
PADDING REMOVED FROM GLOVES

Luis Resto Comes Clean After 25 Years
Motion Filed Against State of New York

New York City (April 3, 2008) – The truth has finally been revealed regarding one of sports’ darkest hours. Former prize fighter Luis Resto admitted today at a press conference in New York City that he not only battered “Irish” Billy Collins Jr. for ten rounds during a boxing match, with padding-removed gloves, but that his knuckles were pre-cast with tape soaked in plaster of Paris – before the hollowed gloves were placed over his fists.

As the 25-year-anniversary approaches of the incident that created a sensational scandal following the Collins-Resto welterweight bout at Madison Square Garden in 1983, Bronx native Resto finally came clean – supplying many details during a monumental media gathering at Jack Demsey’s (correct spelling) in midtown Manhattan.

The film Cornered exposes the whole truth behind what really happened that June evening in the world’s most famous arena. Cornered reveals the lurid chain of events that allowed a boxer to endure a 30-minute assault. What transpired before and during the Collins-Resto fight was so heinous it led to Resto’s conviction, incarceration and lifetime ban from boxing. The brutally-beaten Collins quickly fell into a tragic downward spiral.

Cornered picks up with the lives of those people still affected by the crime 25 years later and answers many unanswered questions such as why was this despicable act carried out for the Collins-Resto fight in particular? And, how did the perpetrators manage to get the tampered gloves past New York State Athletic Commission officials? The film helps boxing gain closure to an open wound, but will justice finally be served for the Collins family estate?

Equipped with today’s new information, Marc R. Thompson of Manhattan’s Pulvers, Pulvers and Thompson, the attorney for Andrea Collins-Nile, widow of late the Billy Collins Jr., has filed of a motion to reopen the case of the Collins-Resto scandal with the Federal District Court against the State of New York.

XYIENCE SALE APPROVED IN BANKRUPTCY COURT

Posted on | April 3, 2008 | 2 Comments

LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL REPORTS ON $15 MILLION XYIENCE PURCHASE

Comments by: Rich Bergeron

[mpinpage]

Manchester Consolidated Corporation, an investment group consisting of just 4 employees, managed to gain approval to buy Xyience on April Fools Day, but the fat lady is not singing just yet. Emerging details regarding the principals, the sale negotiations, pertinent new and past litigation involving the players, and a host of other major issues will soon be revealed.

Many of the victims of this unfortunate situation might be shaking their heads and taking the woe is me approach to this sale, but it’s important to remember that the sale of the company does not eliminate all culpability. Pandora’s Box has been opened, and it’s still producing incredible new information on a daily basis that may eventually lead to RICO Act proceedings against some of the pertinent players.

Over the next few days I will provide new updates. There is a tremendous amount of new facts emerging, and I’ve acquired multiple court documents I’ll be posting here soon, too. Though Xyience and those who have maliciously bankrupted the company to enrich themselves may feel victorious now, they will be singing a different tune when all is said and done. Some of them may even be singing it behind bars.
