Luis Resto (born June 11, 1955) is a Puerto Rican former boxer based in The Bronx, New York, who was convicted of assault and conspiracy for his part in a cheating scandal.
A journeyman boxer all his career, Resto was convicted in 1986 and jailed for two and a half years, for assault, criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy. Both a state boxing commission investigation and a criminal investigation found that Resto's cornermen had illegally altered Resto's gloves by removing the padding and soaking his hand wraps in plaster in a 1983 boxing match against Billy Collins Jr.. In the ensuing fight, Collins suffered a torn iris and permanently blurred vision, ending his career. Collins later died in a car crash on March 6, 1984.
