If there was a fight back home and one person clearly beats the other person to submission and the floor does it usually end ??

You want to have permanent facial scarring ??? Brain damage ??
If a fight happens back home and two guys have a problem is it likely for groups of unrelated people to all join in for no reason other than to give the foriegner a kicking ?? Would they join in in a biased manner if one guy got the upper hand ?? I would say on average no.. Here you can pretty much guarantee that if it gets to fists then you are going to fight many people until you lose, not just one.. Thats how they fight.. They just dogpack the farang in most situations..
You can be cas confident as you like that "If i go into i make sure he wont attack me a second time" but beating one just brings them out the woodwork.. The only possible result is to totally deck him and clear the hell out of there instantly.. In a situation where your trying to assist in something how has that assisted ??
I am not saying I would never get involved.. I have myself had a few couple of altercations over the years once against a Thai (that turned into 10 or so all going at me.. Luckily I manged to break through the circle and sprint.. Only a couple foillowed and when far enough for the group they were suddenly a lot less brave).. Its the time spent here thats made me change to these views.. Crusty is ex services Sgt Mjr (forgive me if thats not your correct rank.. Think I heard that somewhere tho) who I am fairly sure isnt lacking in the guts and glory dept, yet his advise as a resident is 'if at all possible stay out'..
Even by interfereing in violence here your going to have issues you wouldnt have elsewhere like the loser has lost face and can regain some by making you out to be an asshole for stopping it when he was just about to make his comeback.. Theres just too many reasons why we as outsiders need to keep out of any altercations and issues..
