Frank Cappuccino RIP

Shame, good ref he was. Longtime fixture in the sport.

RIP.

 

Very good ref. RIP

 

This makes me think back to all the cable shows from the 80s broadcast from Atlantic City:

Ring Announcer Ed Darien: "Introducing your referee Frank Capucheeenoo. And introducing the principals.............."

I wonder if Darien is still alive

Cappuccino showed compassion in the ****ey/Spinks fight, although he arguably let it go too long

"You're taking too many shots Gerry."

 

Derian passed away last autumn.

 

Rip Frank a good referee.

 

"It's not over. It's not over!"

Gatti-Ward 1

RIP

 

RIP, one of my favorite refs of my lifetime.

You did your job and did it well big guy. Thanks for the memories.

 

That's what I think of when I hear Cappuccino's name. "You're taking too many shots, Gerry."

Cappuccino letting fights play out themselves is what made Gatti-Ward 1 a classic.

RIP

 

What a shame. Good ref...another link with all the good memories of boxing's past gone...getting old, all of us.

RIP, and sympathies to his family.

 

You know you're getting old when the the era you started watching boxing is referred to as "boxing's past." To me, it doesn't seem that long ago! :deal

RIP FC, one of the classic figures of 80s boxing.

 

RIP Frank, great REF

 

Very under-rated top ref of the 80's i liked his no nonsense no BS attitude, guy's knew not to F@ck, with him:deal..

He did an outstanding job in the ****ey-Spinks fight, sorry to hear he passed away, RIP...

 

Frank was great. RIP

 

A solid ref, and well respected.
