§ 18871 Continuing After Stop Order

• •If a referee or official tells you to stop fighting in a match, you must stop right away.
• •If you keep fighting after being told to stop, you can get in trouble with the law.
• •This rule applies to both professional and amateur fights.

During a boxing match, the referee steps in and tells the fighters to stop because one of them is hurt.

If one of the boxers ignores the referee and keeps hitting the other, they can be charged with a crime for not following the order to stop.
