Wow, you picked a great subject here. "When does the Wanted fight actually take
place?" There has been a great deal of confusion with the Wanted card stemming
from the card text. The use of "their legwork phase" being the chief culprit.
In
fact the DLOH's have given their opinion on the matter and then they changed it.

The latest ruling, while not official, is about as close to official as you can
get without being official. :) And it sort of eliminates the problem you are
having I think. (I could have misinterpreted your question.)

From the Q&A:
Wanted!:
Q1: Do you attack the Wanted! character during a) the WANTED! character's
player's legwork phase or b) the legwork phase of each opponent (Attacking
player)?
A1: The Attacking player turns his Runner to attack the Wanted! Runner during the
Attacking player's Legwork Phase, not during the Legwork phase of the Wanted!
Runner's owner. Wow! That's a mouthful!

So the idea of your opponent getting to put equipment on his runners before you
attack is now moot. During your legwork phase, you play a Wanted and then you
immediately turn a runner to go get him. Since it is not his turn your opponent
has to hope that his runner can take it as is or else he's out a runner.

I hope this helps.
