    I was just about to say the same thing. And if Mills Lane got his health back **** it id say Mills too. I loved his no nonsense approach.

    I think Kenny Bayless is the best ref currently in the sport.

    Raul Caiz Jr is emerging to be a good ref. I would agree with Steve Smoger though, and Kenny Bayless is good also.

    In Britain, I like Richie Davies.

    Mainly because of Thompson Rothmann but his judgement seems sound.

    I like Kenny Bayless.. Always a good ref to have for a huge fight.. Smoger and Drakulich are very good refs as well..

    I think Mickey Vann is excellent

    Dave Parris has slipped dreadfully in the past six months - his handling of the Williams fight on Friday was awful. Waiting 11 rounds to take a point off for low blows then taking two more soft points off for **** all

    I would agree with you on that score....

    But he is from Leeds and serves cheap breakfasts so he must have some credit!

    I think he is very good, probably the most underrated British referee currently.
