    This happened last year. Mills was one of the best in boxing.
    "Let's Get It On". He was also a former boxer.

      Mills was the best ref for such a long time. He knew when to stop a fight and when to let it continue. Should have seen him trying to break up Tyson and Hollyfield. I miss him and boxing misses him.

      "I Expect a tough clean fight"

            i think he was one of the best ref. in boxing,
            he sure was exiting to watch and had full knowledge of the sport
            i think joe cortez would be the one right after millis lane
            After TV

            Lane retired from boxing as a referee soon after. He now lives in New York City with his wife and two sons. Lane suffered a debilitating stroke in 2002 which left him partially paralyzed. He still has a great deal of difficulty speaking, which is the main reason why he doesn't voice himself on the new version of Celebrity Deathmatch (his character is now currently voiced by Chris Edgerly, who also voices Nick Diamond on the show). His adopted city of Reno, Nevada celebrated him on December 27, 2004, proclaiming it "Mills Lane Day". On this date, Lane made his first public appearance in years at the dedication of a new courthouse which now bears his name. Mills Lane also edited the Georgia Civil War Book "Dear Mother: Don't Grieve about Me, If I Get Killed, I'll Only Be Dead: Letters from Georgia Soldiers in the Civil War". Lane can currently be spotted in TV commercials for 1-800-THE-LAW2.
