Steward, who's trained everyone from Tommy Hearns to Oscar De La Hoya, first
saw Lucia box when he was wrapping Lennox Lewis' hands in the dressing room
before a fight. "Emanuel," Lewis said to him, indicating a television set tuned to a
women's boxing match, "turn around and look at that girl there. She is so
smooth!" So Steward did. And at that moment, he says, Lucia "made a move
and knocked a girl out with one left hook, and it was so professional - not for a
woman, but for anybody. So here's the heavyweight champion of the world, and
he just said, 'Whoa, I've never seen anybody fight that good!' And when they
showed the rerun, the whole dressing room stopped to watch her."
