    Benn was technically aloud 20seconds when he went out the ring, not 10, thats the rule, the ref wasnt the best though

    Everything the judge did was completely legal. He was however far too fussy for my liking. It was like he was officiating an amateur match.

    Yes when Benn was knocked out of the ring it should have been stopped. Your supposed to get back into the ring within the 10 seconds, Benn clearly did not, and it wasnt a push.

    Nope 20 when your out the ring, and its not '10seconds' its a 'count of 10'
