I have won dsq 12, for this fight, according to Lewis' biography by his son, the Frenchman was disqualified for holding. It appears that the referee didn't speak any French and Til didn't understand him

I have the "Boxing" report of the fight and it clearly has it as a DQ in the 12th.
Til felt harshly treated judging by his post-fight comments.
