Yes the ref did give Benn time to recover and he also let him get away with a lot of rabbit shots. But you still need to give credit where credit is due, Benn took one of the worst 1 sided beatings i've ever seen in a single round, yet he still comeback strong in the next round and gave McClellan a taste of his own medicine. That fight also basically finished Bennas a fighter that took a lot out of him.
I agree 100%. Benn was pretty much done after that fight
