What do most people do wrong in a fight?

I know it sounds dumb but the dumbest thing in a fight is to fight. Just walk away or run away so you don't have to worry or face the consequences. You don't know how good the person you're fighting is. Some people are just fucking vampires. I once fought a little guy who was super mad at me, he was like barely 5ft or something and super skinny and soft. He was totally sober btw, so not drug fuelled. I didn't wanna fight him but he kept charging at me and I moved out of the way, held him back, pushed him, until eventually I had to just start rocking his shit, over and over and over, and whenever he fell down he just got right back up without any sign of being tired at all. He barely got any hits on me the entire time and clearly had no experience fighting whatsoever. Fight went on for what felt like and might've actually been an hour, and I realized that even though the hit ratio was something like 100:1, I hadn't drawn blood at all. And he got a few lame hits at awkward amateur angles, but they fucking hurt somehow, and I was starting to get tired. A long while later he just decided to stop and go away. Good thing he did because I was actually worried he was gonna somehow kill me or break my ribs if he managed to get an actual hit. The few places he hit me were bruised.
