    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Fightnews.com has learned that well known boxing referee Toby Gibson has taken his own life. The unfortunate incident took place within the last 24 hours and was confirmed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. No further details are available at this time. Last Saturday night Gibson refereed the fight Ben Tackie and Matthew Hatton.[/FONT]

    RIP, but what is it with referees committing suicide? Mitch Halpern and now Toby. He was a good ref and I feel for his family.

    That's what Matthew Hatton fights do to people that watch them.

    Any time someone who is a part of boxing dies, it hurts. RIP Toby.

    Wasn't there two Toby Gibson's? The white one from last weekend and the other (Black or hispanic) that was the ref for Lewis vs. Rahman?
