Tua simply could not get Lewis into a corner. Lewis' movement was too good and he was keeping Tua off balance with his left hand. The crowd was chanting: "Tua, Tua." About 1,000 fans from New Zealand, where Tua now lives, came to the fight. Tua got a left hand to the head before Lewis tied him up. Tua got a right hand into the side. Tua got a left into the body and was warned about a low blow. Lewis was doing less in this round than he had in the first two, and Tua was doing a little more.
