Bourne struggles against equally skilled spies, like Desh and the spy (whose hands were tied up ffs) in Supremacy. Bane is stronger, tougher, and pretty fast himself. And in that sewer spot Bourne wouldn't have anything to use as a weapon. He would lose.

Are we being serious? Batman from the previous films would beat Bane? Seriously?
Bourne might fare a little better because he doesn't tend to try to employ brute strength like Batman in his moves. He tends to attack quick and fast strikes.
Bane is also quick and fast. Bourne will obviously be overwhelmed just as Bruce was.
I'm not buying the "he was out of shape and old" theory either. He had no problem owning the shit out of criminals and was clearly back to his good ole self in that police chase and rooftop fight with the assassins. Bane was just too much for him. He was tanking the majority of Bruce's shots the entire film. I think it's fair to say that Batman hits harder than Bourne does. It's his style.
Bane wasn't even trying to kill Batman in their initial fight. Imagine him going for a kill against Bourne. He's going to break Bourne in two.
Batman at the beginning of the film isn't in his prime yeah, but by the end he apears to have surpassed his TDK incarnation. Sure, he only had a few months to get back in shape, but then there is a lot less realistic stuff in the movie.
Regardless, Nolan built up Bane as a physical monster in both interviews and the movie itself. Hence, Alfred talking about how strong and fast Bane is.

it wasn't PIS that Batman won...I mean Bane had a glaring weakness on his face. Batman never had trouble landing hits, it was just that his hits did nothing to Bane.
i dunno about toying..he was significantly better at the time, but at some points batman was in control of the fight. his problem was always not being able to sufficiently damage Bane, who just ate all of his punches.
Bane may be powerful striker, but he didn't seem to have Bourne's grappling skill or quickness. With that and Bourne's off the chart damage soak, for a non-meta character, in mind. I figure Bourne chokes Bane out with his own mask.
