Standout referee and former sparring partner of all-time great welterweight and middleweight Emile Griffith share a re-union moment together in Newburgh NY at Chianti's Ristorante in April 2002 prior to Emile coming to Ron's house to visit him.

Here's a photo of the Cyber Boxing Zone's boxing historian, Ron Lipton, with former all-time great welterweight and middleweight boxer, Emile Griffith. Lipton was a sparring partner to Muhammad Ali, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and many others, as well as a professional boxing referee who served honorably in numerous world class matches.
