	*After the fight, there was controversy over a back water bottle used by Pryor's trainer, [[Panama Lewis]], between rounds 13 and 14. Microphones caught Lewis telling cutman Artie Curley, "Give me the other bottle, the one I mixed." It seemed to revive Pryor. Coming out quickly for the 14th round, Pryor landed a barrage of unanswered blows before the referee stopped the fight. Many speculated that there was something illegal in the bottle, but nobody checked the contents and the Miami Boxing Commission failed to administer post-fight urine tests to the boxers. Lewis and Pryor steadfastly denied that there was anything illegal in the bottle. Curley said the bottle contained peppermint schnapps to settle Pryor's upset stomach. In the 2008 documentary ''[[Assault in the Ring]]'', former Lewis-trained boxer [[Luis Resto]] revealed that Lewis would break apart antihistamine pills and pour the medicine into his water, giving him greater lung capacity in the later rounds of a fight.
