Though rumors that followed the bout would claim a knockout victory to Lee, the reality is that he seems to have bullied Elms around the ring – knocking his opponent to the canvas three times across three rounds – but Elms kept coming back, and he kept attacking. Reports from witnesses make it sound like an odd contest, with Lee throwing hybrid wing chun kung fu and boxing combinations, and struggling with the gloves, and Elms trying to stick to what he knew best – the established rules of the ring.
“Gary was amazingly resilient,” recalls Clausnitzer in Bruce Lee: A Life. “He was knocked down several times, but rebounded each time and did not seem to be any worse for wear.”
