dunno just thought he deserved a mention as he was a great fighter who went on to referee and actually lost his life while refereeing. one i like is Richie Davis from England whos no nonsense but in the old fashioned way. He'll let ya fight out of a clinch etc.. but any fouling and your in for an earful
Mills Lane. He exhuded competence. Great judgment and experience and he had feet like Benny Leonard. Mercante a close second. I'll tell you, though, Mitch Halpern was on his way to becoming a great referee. I really liked his style. And then he had to go and commit suicide over some dame. Dammit.
yeh a good ref 'no naughties with the head' was his phrase another no nonsense ref and he had a great way of prancing round the ring. He was forced to retire from refereeing british contests on grounds of age but he still referees in europe as far as i am aware
