A referee is like a Policeman. In the end, someone is not going to be happy with him. If you have followed boxing for a long time, you would know that Australia does not have a monopoly on Barry Crockers when it comes to referees.

If you mean they warn the boxers when they are acting against the rules of the sport, that is part of their job.

The best referee and this covers all sports is the one you don't notice.
One of the best at doing this and enhancing the bout for the spectators was Vic Patrick.

Malcolm Bulner has refereed WBC World title fights in Japan.
He could not possibly be as bad as Joe Cortez. Cortez makes Soccer rererees look honest.
