LOS ANGELES (AP)
Lou Filippo, who judged 85 world champion fights and had small roles in the "Rocky" movies, has died. He was 83.Officials say Filippo suffered a stroke and died Monday at a hospital in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey, where he lived. He had judged a fight only two weeks ago.
Filippo was in more than 250 amateur fights and had a professional record of 28 wins, nine losses and three draws before retiring in 1957.
Filippo later became a referee and judge. In 1987, he favored Marvin Hagler in a controversial championship fight that Sugar Ray Leonard won by split decision.
Filippo played the fight announcer or referee in five "Rocky" films.
