joesteph Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It looks like Lewis was champ three times. First he won the title by TKO, then he reclaimed his lost title by another TKO, and finally he regained the title he had again lost by knocking out his opponent.A fighter's fighter. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
