Benny Leonard and Ted Kid Lewis fought to a 8 round draw in a welterweight championship fight on 9-23-1918. boxrec has a short discripttion "Lewis won the newspaper decision. (Washington Post & Calgary Herald (wire)) Papers as Bridgeport Telegram and Middletown Times Press reported a close win for Leonard New York Times and New York Tribune called it a draw." However searching the internet I can't seem to find anything else on the fight. What can you tell me about it? Why only 8 rounds? Was there ever talk of a rematch?
