PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to medically examine boxers and advise on fitness to continue fighting after gagging or vomiting
Wider context from the report
“(3) During the 2nd round the deceased’s opponent gagged/vomited on 2 occasions. The referee stopped the fight and counted to 8 on both occasions. The medics did not examine the boxer and advise as to his fitness to continue fighting, but relied on the referee to make the decision as to whether the fight should continue. It was known by the medics that the referee was not medically qualified. The medics were aware the referee was also the opponent’s own trainer. It was said in response to questioning in this respect, that the referee could be expected to know the boxer and whether he was fit to continue fighting. No account was taken that the referee/trainer may prefer the boxer to continue fighting rather than to stop the fight. ”
