master ma told me that he was on the site when wu tong fought the opponent.
With all due respect for Ma's opinion, as reported by you, and for the guy that fought and that you mention I am afraid that if that video was on youtube we wouldn't be saying very different things than our 'disappointment' about the Wu/Chen "fight".
Having read the old articles about the fight and having spoken to some old people who were in Macau for that fight BEFORE I later saw the video I am quite convinced about what I am saying.
We always perceive things throu the filters we have created with our life/experiences, that's why we deeply believe that our kids are the most beautiful on earth
