    He leaves a superb legacy as one of the best referees of all time. He never allowed nonsense from fighters, but he never let that deter the fighters from putting on a great show.

    Damn ... whip-smart (judge) and whip-tough (referee); was a 10-1 pro welterweight. Not many guys his size could keep a pair of 220 lb HWs under control, but when he was in the ring, there was no question who was in charge. RIP, he was one of a kind -

    Very sad to hear this.
    A very good referee who was always in charge and a great character.

    RIP to (IMO) the most iconic & decorated referee in boxing history. You will greatly be missed.

    Perhaps the last great ref. Give him a ten count for a life well lived.

    He was not a good referee, he was a truly great one, one of the true elite. He had a cool mixture of badass and being fair to everyone, his passing is a tremendous loss to the sport of boxing.

    RIP.
