First of all, you will probably get your ass kicked. I would say 60/40 chance. If the guy has been in a true fight before and you never have, you won't know how the hell to hold yourself when your adrenaline goes higher than it's ever been. From my experience, adrenaline will go so high that you will feel like you had way too much caffeine. Every decision you make with be a second guess - this means you'll hesitate every time you're about to do anything that would actually hurt him. An actual fight is based much more on experience than anything else. I know this because confidence matters. Also, don't worry about getting hurt - nothing will be very painful when your adrenaline is really high.
However, the problem with fighting is that you WANT to hurt him - beat the crap out of him. But, you cannot beat him up enough to send him to the hospital. Something tells me, though, that this guy would probably acknowledge an ass-kicking and he'd let everything be settled at the fight.
Also, when you punch, punch through his face - aim for the back of his head. If your fist stops at his face, you'll never knock him out. You gotta punch a guy VERY hard to knock them out.
BTW, please learn how to hold your fists. If you put your thumb inside your fist, you might as well kill yourself now. Perhaps you should consult a diagram on the internet for proper thumb position in a fist fight.
When the fight first starts, throw punches with your lesser hand. It will expose him for a nicely-positioned stronger hand punch.
Also, this guy WILL move faster than you. You will be ass-slow compared to a guy that's been in a fight before. But, don't give up during the fight. I had a fight once that I almost gave up - but I kept going at it and things turned around.
I really don't agree with the other people in this thread as I believe it is human nature to fight to settle things once and for all. From my experience, after you win a fight with someone, they will respect you and it will be much easier to get along with them. If you lose a fight to someone, and you take your loss like a man, he will still respect you.
Size really doesn't matter in a fight near as much as experience.
