I think it would depend on the situation. If I am talking trash to some dude back and forth and we start fighting, perhaps I'll assume that it is just going to be a fist fight. But if I'm minding my own business and haven't spoken to anyone, or am walking by myself and get jumped or something, I just assume they are trying to do me sever bodily harm and will do anything I can to incapacitate them as much as possible.
