Harold Lederman

[1] Lederman attended Columbia University and upon graduation earned a license from New York's State Athletic Commission to judge title fights on June 26, 1967.

He judged (by his count) over a hundred title fights in every corner of the globe, all the while maintaining his pharmacy practice in New York.

Lederman retired from active judging in 1999 but remained with the HBO show as "unofficial ringside scorer."

His daughter, Julie Lederman, followed her father into the business as a ring side judge.

In 2012, Lederman served as Master of Ceremonies for the Ring 10 Veterans Boxing Foundation 2nd Annual Fundraiser.
