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.

Wong didn’t agree to Linda’s version of fight as he says that the fight went on for 20 minutes.

In fact, when Wong extended his hand towards Bruce Lee for handshake, Lee jumped forward and quick spear hand to Wong’s eyes. Wong said that he fought with a lot of restraint because he didn’t want anybody’s life to be in danger. As per Wong, the duration of the fight was minimum 20 minutes and it came to an end as Lee became winded and not because of a fight-ending blow from either of them.
