The ref be it he thinks the fighter can go on or not should not be allowed to over turn that. Unless the towel is thrown in after the bell rings for round one and the guy is only hit by a jab or something crazy like that.
Other then that I do not think a referee or anyone else can judge the well being of a fighter then their own team can. Who is the ref to say "This guy can take some more abuse"?
It is up to the ref to keep the fighters safe and stop the bout need be if the fighter has had enough to save them from further abuse. Not to say you can take more abuse.
