Or better still run away.
1) Kick low, hard and as soon as you can... preferably the knee - it's hard for your opponent to fight when they can't stand.
2) If throwing a punch at a face, bring your elbow through and around afters... if your punch misses there's every chance your elbow might not.
The only thing I really *learned* at kung-fu is that I, like others above, am a runner not a fighter.
I'll see you down the end of the road...

If you break his nose, his eyes will swell and the fight tends to stall. If you use an upward thrust onto a broken nose, you can drive the cartilidge into his brain...fight is over forever.
The rule of thumb is this: if your opponent is incapcitated, he is no longer a threat.
I generally like punching people in the face with a hot soldering iron myself. But at bars I like to punch people in the stomach so all the beer from their stomach gets in their nose first so that it is harder for them to breath and I can abuse them in the face while they are busy gaging for air much easier.
