Sherlock Holmes vs Huo Yuanjia
Sherlock Holmes, from the Guy Ritchie films
VS
Huo Yuanjia, from the film Fearless
They are fighting in a small Gladiatorial arena, which they start on opposite sides of. To win, one must kill or totally incapacitate the other. Neither is armed, and neither knows anything about the other prior to the fight. Their respective morals are On.

Holmes would be on the ground before he could do any of that fight precog crap.

Considering how fast he thinks, I doubt that, but Holmes definitely hasn't faced anyone like Huo Yuanjia before, so it will be tough. Care to elaborate your own opinion?

Sherlock Holmes is a good fighter, but I don't think he's on Huo Yuanjia's level, especially if he's unarmed. I don't know if he's any more powerful in the Guy Ritchie films though.

Powerful isn't quite the right word, Sherlock Holmes is just far more combat-capable in the Guy Ritchie films. For example:

OK, that is pretty impressive, but still, I think he won mainly because that big guy just throwing punches. That was basically all there was to it in Victorian combat sports. Holmes just wouldn't have enough time to plan everything out like that in a fight against Huo Yuanjia, so I'm not entirely convinced he can win this.

Holmes doesn't learn, as such, he just predicts and adapts. Huo Yuanjia is still the more skilled combatant, but he can't necessarily keep up with Holmes' mind.

What exactly would Holmes predict from looking as Huo?

Considering he predicted exactly how a fight with a highly trained Hungarian assassin would go before he even saw him, I'm sure he'd be able to glean something from Huo.

He predicted the Hungarians weaknesses, didn't he?

Not only his weaknesses. His entire strategy, how he would act. He knew everything about him before he even saw him. All because of his smell I think.

You mean the guy he fought for money, or the partially deaf dude from the beginning?

In Sherlock Holmes:Game of Shadows, the sequel.
A Hungarian Circus Performer/Assassin tried to kill Noomi Rapace's character, and he stopped him.

Holmes is not fast enough, even if he knows every move Huo will use beforehand.

Holmes looses, but if his life is spared, he will do a bunch of cocaine and come back and win after learning his weaknessness.
