Where the bout can go on, the referee may formally warn the offending contestant, depending on the seriousness of the foul. The referee shall inform the judge and the chief official that the cut has been caused by an unintentional foul and that if the cut worsens as a result of a legal blow and causes the bout to be stopped, the decision must be rendered by the judge.
If the cut worsens as a result of an unintentional foul and causes the bout to be stopped, the referee shall make a technical decision favourable for the contestant who is leading according to the judge.
If the cut worsens as a result of an intentional foul and causes the bout to be stopped, the offending contestant shall lose by disqualification.
