Mills Lane

The proof was there.

The ref was Mills Lane.

And one of the most respected referees in boxing history.

He was a judge.

Like we're watching the Apollo just take off the moon mission, and ours is just, just has full launch, takeoff, And within a matter of minutes, he's head down, out cold.

Mills Lane stops the fight.

Oz doesn't even make it to the Havander-Holyfield fight with Buster.

And that thing only lasted, what, two rounds? Buster got knocked out in the second round.

None of that is true.

Mills Lane, step in, please.

Richard Steele, stop the fight.

Standing eight count.

You're not going to get paid.

Like, you know, he's... and that's what kind of made him viral so here's my question steve is this a problem now are like is he going to be the next mills lane is the fight about him is that the show part are you trying to get over at the boys and girls expense at the fighters expense is this what we're afraid of happening with thomas taylor

i'm worried about that absolutely because with mills lane it was about mills lane let's get it out It was about that and all of the cartoon, all that kind of stuff, you know, the Liberty Deathmatch stuff.

I'm worried about that.

You know, when you compare him to someone like Harvey Dock, who just does the job and is absolutely... clear and has fantastic charisma because he's absolutely clear um you're right he was very proactive in the isaac pitbull cruise fight very proactive and um and people tended to including me tended to like that you know um may well be that he feels well i don't know i don't think he's thinking hey i could i could have a whole new career here but i think when you when you insert yourself into the fight like that

And I thought, yeah, you're right.

And he had the thing, I am the referee.

now that was like the mills lane let's get it on so i always loved i am the referee but he said i had to say something there has to be something to begin with i have to and you could be right you could be right um oh it's it's it's well the problem is you do that enough and you lose your you're refereeing, don't you? You lose your career in that way and you've got to be sure that someone else is going to pick you up or you're finished and you end up on misfits.

In one of the most controversial decisions in boxing history.

Referee Mills Lane is reported to have told Hagler.

To make sure he was facing the camera.

And he said when I hold your hand up after the decision is read.

But if you grew up watching Mike, you have to tap into this thing.

How about, uh, that, that young Mills Lane, though? Do you see him in there?

He's always looked old.

[laughs] He did look old even when he young.

And, uh, they're pretty even through six rounds, and we get to the seventh round of this event.

And, uh, just a minute or so into the seventh round, uh, the, uh, the referee of the m- match is Mills Lane, who if, if you, listener, are picturing a referee for a boxing match, it is-

[laughs]

... almost certainly Mills Lane.

[laughs]

The little bald guy.

Uh-huh.

Like, waving his hands.

love a comment that says run a clean game.

We got fucking Mills Lane over here.

And I

do like this.
