Octavio Meyran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Octavio Meyran Sanchez is a former Mexican boxing referee.

During his career Meyran took charge of over twenty world title fights. Among the bouts he refereed were the infamous No Más fight between Roberto Durán and Sugar Ray Leonard in New Orleans in 1981, and James "Buster" Douglas' upset win over Mike Tyson in 1990. After the latter fight, in an unsuccessful attempt to have the result overturned, Meyran was accused by Tyson's manager Don King of giving Douglas a "slow count".^[1]
