I think he's the best ring official I've seen. Absolute compliment to the sport and consummate professional and called it down the middle and for the most part remained above the "where's the camera" and intrusive nonsense we see at times in referees today. With refs, the idea is that an invisible ref is a good ref. Enforce the rules but don't become the story. But Lane was the rarity that when you saw he was the third man in the ring you actually wanted to 'see' it. You knew there would be no horse shat and if there was, he would shut it down. Maybe with the exception of the time he went part wwe on Hopkins falling out of the ring . Just a great great fixture in the sport and may he be at complete peace now.
