And the ref wasn't finished either.

Ref missed the memo.

Didn’t read the British Refs manual.

Don’t forget the recent British tradition of ‘accidentally’ ringing the bell early.

wood got dropped with about 25 seconds left in the round, would've been quite something if there wasnt time for another punch :lol:

looked to me like ref was about to wave them back in, and that's when ben threw the towel

With the shape Wood was in when he got up, he really didn't need to be taking any more blows to head.

I like to think he's been saved to fight for another day.
