Punch-Out Referee

In boxing, a referee [often called the ref for short] is the person who enforces the rules of boxing within the ring.

In the Punch-Out! series, the referee's main job is to initiate the fight between players, and begin counting when one of the players falls down. They will also declare who the winner is, either by knockout, technical knockout, or a split decision.

The referee is more clearly than ever. He has a small mustache and is very considerate when he's deciding the winner. He also has trouble with the controlling some of the opponents who want to fight immediately. In fact, one of the playable characters attack the referee. He is also speculated to be the same referee from the arcade games and in a Wii game.
