It depends on the circumstances. Lets take the example of Ninjutsu man vs. boxer.
Example 1: Ninjutsu man and boxer have agreed to fight in order to determine which art is superior. Boxer is in the gym, working the heavy bag. Suddenly, he can't breath, turns purple and keels over. The paramedics are called but by the time they arrive, the boxer has long since given up the ghost and the paramedics puke when they see his contorted face and his swollen tongue sticking out of his mouth. The autopsy reveals that someone put contact poison inside his bag gloves. Ninjutsu man wins by assassination.
Example 2: Ninjutsu man and boxer have agreed to fight in order to determine which art is superior. They meet in the ring and the Ninjutsu man adopts his fighting stance. The boxer tentatively dances around the Ninjutsu man, throws a few probing jabs, then enters with a jab-cross combination which the Ninjutsu man blocks with his face. Boxer wins by knockout.
Example 3: Ninjutsu man and boxer have agreed to fight in order to determine which art is superior. They meet in the ring and the Ninjutsu man adopts his fighting stance. The boxer tentatively dances around the Ninjutsu man, throws a few probing jabs and as he enters with a jab-cross combination, the Ninjutsu man steps back while drawing and cutting with his Ninja-to. The boxer gazes down in horror at his bifurcated body as blood splatters his corner man. His cut-man realizes that he should've brought a LOT more cotton swabs and band-aids. The referee doesn't know quite what to make of this unprecedented event but one menacing glare from the Ninjutsu man convinces him to declare the Ninjutsu man the new undisputed champion in his weight class. Ninjutsu man wins by cutting boxer in half.
Example 4: Ninjutsu man and boxer have agreed to fight in order to determine which art is superior. At the press conference, the boxer and his entourage verbally abuse Ninjutsu man and bum-rush him and someone bites off his ear. Ninjutsu man bravely attempts to fight back but he is dragged outside by the mob and curbed. Boxer wins by entourage mass attack.
