In a 12-round fight many thought Lewis clearly won, the judges called it a draw. Thomas said he asked Holyfield why he didn't say something earlier, and Holyfield responded, ``I thought it would be a short fight, so it didn't matter.'' Holyfield had predicted he would knock out Lewis in the third round. "Holyfield had a virus about three weeks before the fight, but said he had recovered. It's possible the virus returned," Thomas said.
