    One of my favourite first rounds, the ref was definitely his angel in this match but what do y'all think about it? Should it have been a KO1 victory for McLellan or nah? I read that opinion here in sum threads.

    I don’t see why it should have been, the ref was interfering way too much but Benn was on his feet and back in to the ring before the ten count when he was knocked down.
    I don’t really see any case for it being stopped to be honest
