While Brahm had strutted out in a long red velvet coat trimmed with gold cord, Singh stepped onto the mat without 'no gorgeous rainment covering the lithe Sihk. He stood there nude, except for his usual scanty trunks'. Prior to the competition Hackenschmidt was advised 'Watch Buttan, he gets very slippery after he's been wrestling a bit', to which Hack replied, 'He won't have time to get slippery'. Hack weighed about 15 stone (210 lb; 95 kg) to Singh's around 12 stone (170 lb; 76 kg). Singh was shaken violently and whirled around Hackenschmidt's shoulders and hurled into the mat, such that Singh had to be assisted home. It was considered the earlier 'dirty' upon Weber had been cleanly revenged. Hack had 'the old Hindoo master' 'as flat as a pancake in 9min. 45sec.'.
