Well if it's not on his finger he is screwed isn't he?
But if he commands the ring to avoid magnetisation at the very beginning of the battle then he is sweet.
how? even if magneto takes the ring off of his finger, all the lantern has to say is "ring, demagnetise and return" and unless magneto can somehow stop it, he'll get it back.
i'm sure mags could put up a forcefield, but rings are pretty determined when they want to be, and can use abilities that the lantern could use.
Because if the ring is off his finger and then has to will the ring to de-magnetise then will it to return. Mags would've already pumped a random piece of metal through Kilowog's skull. Or made his concentration worthless by manipulating the iron in the blood in his brain.

the rings are programmed to return to their wearer when the wearer tells them too. even from some reasonably large distances. it's more to do with the ring's charge than any willpower.
say, if the ring has 90% power, it won't require any actual willpower to get it back, usually.
gl shields (assuming the ring is still on his finger) can protect against iron in the blood attacks and so forth.
that, and kilowog would have access to all the information about hal jordan's battles with doctor polaris, who for a time was a lantern villain.
and all that is assuming that magneto can even take the ring off of him in the first place, which for me isn't so cut and dry.
while i can certainly see avenues for magneto winning, i think kilowog has a fair shot too.
IIRC, John had to send his ring light years away just so he could shoot himself without it automatically protecting him. The rings autoshield even when not on the wearer.
Anyway, the rings before Johns had a few instances of being metal, though I don't know if it's been retconned. F*cker retconned pretty much everything else...
last I check it's made from Oan material, which has nothing to do with earth's metal. there was the instance where firestorm cannot transmute Oan robot because the Oan material happens to be alive
