    Ray Miller - only man ever to stop the great Jimmy McLarnin.

    And the unusual event was of course when he replaced Ruby Goldstein as referee in the Robinson-Maxim fight.

    B, it's you again..Yes Ray Miller, the only man to ever stop the truly great
    Jimmy McLarnin...Then as a referee Ray Miller on June 25,1952 at hot
    Yankee Stadium, replaced Ruby Goldstein ,who refereed the bout between Ray Robinson and Joey Maxim...Goldstein was "kod" by heat prostration...B...Your Good...b.b.
