I saw Danny Macintosh fight Matthew Barney a few years back and Barney was holding like ward or alexander does
the fight lasted a couple of rounds and richie davies warned barney a couple of times then stopped it, dq'ed him
if there were more refs like richie around boxing would be a better place :)
Seeing as you are probably at work eyeing up the bird with the big guzongas @erics44 here is the link to that scintillating fight. You are right though good decision by the reff. Nice Work.

Mills Lane refereeing Tyson vs Holyfield II. The little guy that didn't take any backchat from anyone. When Tyson tried to tell Lane he did not bite Holyfield, the first word Lane said was "bullshit!".
Mills should have allowed that fight to continue and let it take its natural course. :)Quote:

Oh wait....... this was for the other thread.
Don't really have favs but we all have ones that make us 'comfy' when ya see them. Like a Smoger, Weeks, Bayliss...I liked Moret and Halpren. Mills was a solid professional and the only one I can think of often referred to by first name.
As cliché as it is, the one I forget and don't notice is always the best. Just do the job on equal footing and respect.
The name of Arthur Mercante Sr. was synonymous with big boxing events back in the day.
