	I think he's talking about the very first meeting, which ended 
inconclusive.  But even though they traded 'touches', I think Ranma came 
out stronger since we can assume that writing 'idiot' (or whatever he 
wrote on Kuno's forehead) would be several degrees more difficult than 
almost connecting with the sword.  Ranma as a girl knocks out Kuno after 
the swimming pool incident rather easily but Kuno wanted to lose then, I 
think.  Not that he had any choice, really.
