    I am not sure but I believe you have 20 seconds rather than 10 if you are knocked out of the ring. Anybody know for certain?

    I'm not sure exactly but I do remember watching a documentary about the fight, which send the ref started the count late or something.

    That was a bad stoppage, but Joe threw about 20-25 punches without anything back from Manfredo. If Manfredo had been wise, he'd have thrown a few back.

    But what happened on Saturday night was even worse - the fighter was throwing back, wasn't hurt at all, and Cole stopped the fight!
