“This is what Clouse said during an interview, “Bruce wouldn’t move as the kick would invariably fall short.  Then Bruce would lash out two or three times, not trying to kill him, but to mark him.  Draw blood, as it were,” Clouse recalled.  “I saw one fellow who didn’t seem to have a mark on him after this exchange.  I didn’t believe he had been hit until he opened his mouth and revealed it was full of blood.”
