As per Linda, the fight finished in three minutes. They both started by bowing down formally and then the fight began. Lee was aggressive from the beginning and within a minute, Wong’s men were trying to stop the fight as it was getting difficult for Wong to handle the punches of Lee. However, the fight didn’t stop as James Lee warned all of them not to stop the fight. Soon, Lee overpowered Wong and brought him down at the floor and Wong accepted his defeat.
