does the referee have a role to play in a fight?

    sometimes a referee will let alot of dirty stuff go if both fighters are content to fight that way.
    in other cases a referee will even stop a fight and tell both boxers to start fighting with more intent and aggression..
    do you see this as part of his duty or should he just shut up and count/score/rule/penalise fighters where appropriate?
