    Legend referee. Gatti-Ward is a different fight under most other refs. RIP

    He used to be a good ref, but like most. continued his job for too long. In the 2000s it was dangerous to let him ref a fight. RIP anyways, he seemed like a gentleman

    I personally liked that he erred on the side of letting fighters fight, but yes, in his later years it probably got to be a bit excessive.

    Frank's image will forever live on, as the pic of him pointing Tyson to a neutral corner as he stood over Spinks is one of the most famous images in the history of the sport.

    Also one of the sh*ttiest fights in the history of the sport where a guy quit before the fight even began and then went into seclusion right after, never to be seen again :lol:

    If Gatti died in the ring, Frank should have been brought up on Charges.

    At least they should have withheld his purse. And Gatti's wife's purse as well

    For 10-15 YEARS or More, Whenever Cappucino was Near a Fight Ed Derian was the Ring Announcer for, Derian Uttered his Name as Such...

    As TFK Alluded to, it Became PART of Who Frank Cappucino was...WHENEVER REED Heard the Name or Thought of the Dude, Ed Derian's Voice & Enunciation IMMEDIATELY Sprang to Mind...

    It would be funny if Frank despised Ed for this specific reason.

    True story...

    2002 ...less than a month after Gatti vs Ward I, I'm at the Boxing Hall of Fame ceremony (the weekend of Tyson-Lemmon)...

    Cappuccino is there and treated like a celebrity since he was the ref in Gatti-Ward I. I'm talking at Terry Norris (I say at because he could barely put a sentence together) Cappuccino comes over and starts talking to me. He's going on as if we'd known each other for years. I have no idea who he thought I was.

    As the day went on if he spotted me he'd come over and start the exact same conversation as the last time damn near word for word.

    Ever since then when I heard guys going on about him understanding what was going on between Gatti and Ward that's why he let them fight I always laugh. He didn't have a clue. His mind was somewhere else. Go back and watch that fight. Dude has a blank stare in portions of that fight.

    That reminds me. Somewhere I have an audio tape of an interview I did with Alexis Arguello (RIP). I have to find that.
