Everything about Referee Boxing totally explained
The
referee in the sport of
boxing is the individual charged with enforcing the
rules of the ring during a boxing match.
The role of the referee
Referees have the following roles:
- Gives instructions to both boxers before the fight
- Determines when to start or stop a count when a fighter is down
- Determines when a foul is so egregious that a warning should be given or points taken away
- Signal when the round is over
- Determines when one fighter's health will be endangered by more blows and thus, stops the fight.
In the past, referees were involved in
judging the fight. However, that role has been progressively replaced by a panel of judges, except for domestic fights in some countries.
Attire
Normally; a starched white shirt, black khaki-like slacks, black shined leather shoes and a bow tie.
Criticisms
The main critique involves the
subjective nature of boxing refereeing; there are guidelines for referees, but enforcement of the rules still involves judgement.
