    Just finished watching this fight...what a great fight. Arguello caught Pryor with some monster shots and pryor just took them.
    First time iv watched the fight, really enjoyed it.

    One of the greatest fights I have ever seen, Pryor never stopped coming forward at Arguello. Arguello threw everything including the kitchen sink at Pryor, unbelievable. Shame there's a cloud hanging over that fight because of Panama Lewis and his mixed drink.

    It was also voted Fight of the Decade in the 80's.

      I was watching the fight before, and i heard Lewis asking for 'The drink i mixed' (or something along those lines) when they were in the corner. I was wondering what that was all about .

        Some think Lewis mixed ******* with the water, some thought it was scotch. No one really knows but one thing is clear, once Pryor took a drink of whatever was in that bottle, he came out rejuvenated.

          And the rematch was like a xerox copy of the first match. I'm not buying the coolaid mix conspiracy.

            Pryor's pace wasn't as ferocious in the second fight and he got tired a little easier too.

            And you can't deny, Pryor went back to the corner tired but came out fighting like it was the first round.

                  Panama Lewis is a criminal.

                  For more info you should check this thread:

                  Knowing the history of Panama Lewis it's very easy to suspect some improper behavior in the Arguello fight. I would think the bottle contained amphetamine (aka speed) which works immidiately. Lewis himself said it was tap-water...

                    That was a hell of a fight! I agree, it's too bad that Lewis' shady behavior put a cloud over the fight. It was sorted out in the rematch though. The Hawk was a bad bad man!

                    When he removed the padding on the glove for the Collins fight that was horrible.

                    I like to be as objective as possible so check this out as well. Lewis addresses a few of these questions in the videos in this thread.
