In 1979 Ken Norton fought Earnie Shavers, arguable the hardest puncher of the era. Ken Norton got knocked out by Shavers in the first round. In the ring was Mills Lane, who is one of the best referees in the history of boxing. What is interesting about this fight, Ken Norton a Marine Veteran had the fight stopped by Mills Lane a Marine Veteran. Sometimes Marines got to take care of each other so you don't get killed. In the words of Mills Lane, "I'm fair, but I am firm". #prizefighter #boxing #f
