    Wasn't it either Max Baer or Jim Braddock who refereed one of Louis's bouts.

    George Chuvalo lost to Pat McMurtry, then beat Charlie Reno and McMurtry was the referee.

    I remember that. Seems to have been a mini trend. Ex boxers refereeing fights. Joe Louis was the third man in Frazier's rematch with Jerry Quarry.
