    wasnt it mant to be asthma pills or something like that which helped open up your lungs enabling you to breathe better and get that extra bit zoomph after a long fight.

    Could have been anything knowing Lewis but I actually believe this to be correct. Getting an extra wind at the end of the fight when your opponent has already taken a lot of punishment and is tired themselves could very well lead to a 14th round like that one.

    True, but the fact that he would even be familiar with something like that raises eyebrows IMO.

    This is the bottom line right here. :deal

    It was a prison drink. It gets you wired like a mother****er. 100% sure of it. It was very common with black prisoners specially.
