Bruce Lee, Boxing Tournament and KGV
1958年3月29日，李小龍代表聖芳濟書院參加校際西洋拳比賽，地點為英皇佐治五世學校，參與學校共十二間，小龍擊敗了三位對手，最後與過去三屆冠軍加理‧歐文 (Gary Elms) 對賽，在第三輪擊敗加理‧歐文，取得冠軍。

It is 1956 and Bruce Lee is enrolled in St. Francis Xavier’s College (High School). Bruce Lee continues to get in trouble getting into fights in the streets and in the school.
By 1958, at the age of seventeen, Bruce Lee is asked by Brother Edwards to join the school’s Boxing Team. Brother Edwards feels that he can channel that fighting spirit and energy of young Bruce Lee in a positive way. Every year a bout is held with twelve schools and the winning school for the last three years has been the King George V School. The Boxing Champion of all the schools, Gary Elms of the King George V School, has not been beaten by anyone and has remained the champion for the last three years. Bruce Lee accepts Brother Edwards’ offer and joins the Boxing Team of St. Francis Xavier.
It was March 29, 1958 and the time had arrived for the Boxing Tournament to take place. All twelve High Schools attended the match. Bruce Lee fought three preliminary bouts with three different opponents. He was able to knock them all out in the first round.
He was paired against the British boy, Gary Elms, who had been the defending Boxing Champion for three straight years.
In the first round, Elms attacked vigorously forward and pressured young Bruce Lee to the corners of the ring.
By the second round, Bruce was able to use some of the Wing Chun blocks against Elms’ punches. This time, Bruce Lee did not run back to the corners from Elms’ attacks.
In the third round, Bruce blocked and hit and parried and hit anytime Gary Elm threw punches at him. Finally, he jumped in on Elms and Straight Blasted his way through, knocking out the Champ in the Third Round.
