Former professional boxing referee and judge Mills Lane has passed away in Las Vegas at 85 years of age.
He made the prefight saying "Let's Get It On" famous.
He was probably the most famous referee out there back in the 80's. Mainly because of his personality.I was never a big boxing fan but even I remember him.
He was so famous that he was the character playing as the referee in MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch in the late 1990s.He was probably the most famous referee out there back in the 80's. Mainly because of his personality.
I didn't know that.He was so famous that he was the character playing as the referee in MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch in the late 1990s.
Absolutely. It was the ONLY court tv show that I ever watched.Remember he had his own Jude Judy-like show?
True. He was the referee in the Mike Tyson fight against Evander Holyfield....the one where Tyson bit off Holyfields ear. Mr. Lane was a small guy, but he was scrappy and tough.Shame…He refereed some BIG fights
He maintained control of the fighters and nobody messed with him.
If memory serves, he was a prison warden or something like that. His belt buckle was made by the inmates.
TBH...I though he had died like 10 years
He was once a chief deputy sheriff, then went on to become a circuit judge in Nevada. He had a serious stroke back in 2002, and many thought he would not survive.If memory serves, he was a prison warden or something like that. His belt buckle was made by the inmates.
TBH...I though he had died like 10 years ago.
