Robinson fought some decent competition, but his career as it showns in boxrec right now is very chopped up. He's got 1 fight listed in April 1967 against Eddie Brooks, loosing a 6 round decision. You then see him next in October 1973. From then through Sept 1975 he wins 3 fights, a 4 round decision over a Danny Lee(5-8-1,3), a 2nd round KO of LHW Tom Van Hoof(14-3-0,6) and a 2nd round KO of a Randy Lucas(0-1-0). Mixed in are decision losses to Tom Prater, Larry Penninger, Eddi Brooks, and Mahmout Fadel(6-1-0,3) along with getting KO'd by Rodney Bobick, Duane Bobick in successive fights in March and June 1974, and finally a 2nd round KO to Leroy Jones in Sept 1975.
We next see Robinson 6-1/2 years later in Feb 1982. He's listed with 6 fights in 1982, a 6 round decision win over Frank Farmer(2-16-1,0) and a 2nd round KO of Al Houck(17-21-2,6). He looses to Larry Alexander, James Broad, Tom Fischer, and a 2nd round KO loss to Larry Frazier in October 1982. There's then another 8 year gap till a 3rd round KO loss to Bill Corrigan(11-14-1,8) in December 1990.

McMillan's career started out in 1963-64 as a Light heavyweight winning 6 bouts, the first 4 by knockout. The last 3 wins were a 4th round KO and then two, 6 round decisions over LHW Jim Christopher. There is then 2 years with now record of McMillan fighting until March 1966 when he enters the ring again, this time as a heavyweight, though a light one at that, against Vic Brown. McMillan wins a 6 round decision. It's then a year and 3 months till June 1967 when McMillan shows up again this time against a LHW Al Evans(8-10-0,6). Boxrec has a not showing McMillan stopping Evans at 2:12 of some unkown round for the TKO. Four more fights in 1967 land McMillan wins against Vic Brown, Ray Anderson and John Jordan(16-11-3,10). He looses an 8 rounder against Alvin Lewis. At the end of 1967 McMillans' record stood at a very good 11-1-0,6KO.
Beginning in 1968 McMillans career takes a dive as he wins only 4 more fights while loosing 9 with 1 draw. The wins come against Lee Powell(0-12-0), Bob Stallings, Vic Brown and Ben Black. In Feb 1968 after defeating John Jordan in a 10 round decision in November 1967, the two fight a 10 round drawn match. After that McMillan looses an 8 round decision and 3 straight 10 rounders to Eddie Brooks, Henry Hank, Alvin Lewis and then Jordan. Other looses in this time were a 10 round decision dropped to Bob Stallings and 10 rounders lost to Joe Burns(twice) and Johnny Griffin. After knocking out Ben Black in the 6th round in April 1971, McMillan's career comes to a close with a 2nd round TKO loss to Jeff Merritt.
