The referee may stop a contest or exhibition at any time if he or she considers it too one-sided, or if either participant is in such condition that to continue would, in the judgment of the referee, be too dangerous to his or her health and safety. In the event the referee stops a contest or exhibition as aforesaid, the referee shall award the other participant the victory by technical knockout. In any contest or exhibition, the awarding of a victory therein for any reason other than a knockout, disqualification or decision on points shall be deemed a technical knockout.
