Mills Lane, RIP

[Kinnick.At.Night]

He was the referee of some of the biggest fights over the past fifty years in professional boxing. I've always admired this quote from him:

"Everything is discipline," Lane told the Los Angeles Times in 1991. "When I'm working a fight, I give the same energy and attention to a four-rounder as I do a million-dollar fight. The way I see it, in either case, on that night, it's the most important fight in those fighters' careers."

He called them fair.

He was a huge part of my boxing fandom life as a young man, and he was entertaining.


His claymation character was funny as hell as well

RIP Mills
