    Folks,

    Sitting close to Bob Arum at ringside is a known fight attendant with a bage color Burberry jacket and a hat with a ribbon wrapped around the rim... He used to be ringside dressed accordingly / similar back in the late 70s and early 80s for many big fights in Vegas.... Here he is again at ringside in 1994 for "Foreman-Moorer."

    Anyone know who this dude is? Again, he looks mafia to me...:think

    MR.BILL:hat

    Note my hat.... Anyone else seen this dude at ringside in Vegas?? C'mon...
    :huh:good

    That's cool.... But, the dude was a heavy at ringside yrs back... I haven't seen him in yrs, but he's on many of my old tapes at ringside... He is at "Foreman-Moorer."

    Just watch a few rds of "Foreman-Moorer" and pick out Bob Arum seated at ringside and look down the row off to the right of the screen... A dude with a bage Burberry coat and hat is seated... He used to be at all the big fights yrs ago....

    Check round 6 of "Foreman-Moorer." The dude is in the third or fourth row off to the right of the screen in his bage Burberry and Hat with a ribbon wrapped around....

    This dude is popular at ringside... He was at ringside wearing similar attire for many key fights in the late 70s and early 80s....

    However, he has vanished.... I'm guessing he's now old as hell or dead.......

    I saw the guy you're talking about but on youube his face is a blur and its impossible to indentify who it is, we need a better quality video.

    I believe that is Robert Lee Sr, the former president of the IBF, who was indicted in fixing ratings and ranking fighters for cash.
    Lee is a light black man.
