Cap can just outlast Cage in round 1. No amount of precog can give you superhuman stamina (which Cap has in spades), so he can predict and dodge until he gets tired, at which point he is screwed. And regular human + knuckleduster is not going to seriously hurt Cap when it has taken things like repeated blows from WS' metal arm to do genuine damage.
Even with precog, I don't think he can move fast enough to evade more than a few hits from Cap before his speed becomes too much for him.

Yes we are, Cage doesn't have superspeed, he can only dodge at normal human speed, which is slower than Captain America.
To dodge an attack you only need to move a fraction of the attack's speed. Punches are faster than dodges and parries and dodges/parries can happen after the attack is launched.
Caps fist must accelerate from 0 to full speed. That means the moment he first moves his hand to punch Chris will have time to dodge the aim. Cage can begin to dodge a microsecond before Cap hands even move.
Originally posted by Silent MasterChris will only throw a punch if he sees Cap getting hit. It will mostly be a counterattack. Chris has experience fighting as shown in the diner scene. Any attack can be parried, blocked, or dodged. Chris can duck, block, parry any attack from Cap.
Stepping to the side really only helps avoid attacks that move in a straight line, are you under the impression that Cap is only going to be using jabs and front kicks?Besides, Cap is faster and a better fighter than Cris, that means he'll be able to dodge or block every attack Cris tries.
Chris can also hit Caps wrist or ankles with the brass with the block. Basically, the block becomes the strike.
Plus Cap will probably be holding back somewhat because he thinks he's fighting a normal human.
Cage after many trial and error in scenario 2 only. In the first instance...he doesn't have the power to put cap down. Cap has eaten multiple blows from ultron, iron man and bucky's arm. None of them have knocked Steve out. Cage with brass knucks can hit him till his arms get tired. Then no future sight will save him once he is exhausted.
