The role of the referee 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. Signals when the round is over. Determines when one fighter's health will be endangered by more blows, and thus, stops the fight.
The referee is the sole arbiter of a bout and is the only individual authorized to stop a contest.
A technical knockout (TKO) occurs when the referee stops a fight because they have determined one of the fighters can no longer meaningfully defend themselves, or has sustained damage that renders them unable to meaningfully defend themselves.

Two fingers up. Ball contacted more than once by a player. The block does not count. The official indicates that the server may now serve.

Between the lines, sports officials have every right and can take immediate action to eject a player or coach from a game for unruly behavior. It's never a comfortable situation, but it's the right thing for officials to do.
If a game is played to a full-time duration of 90 minutes, you can expect a referee to run six to eight miles. On average, a player will run seven miles, but they can stay in their allocated area, whereas referees have to stay close to the ball, which is constantly moving around the pitch.
