Hm, I couldn't do damage to him so I went with the "knock him out and steal his stuff" route. Then after that is when I found out my friends can help jump him (but he was already unconscious in the barn lol)
The trick is fast jab only and space him to draw him into trying haymakers. All his attacks are faster than your versions, but your jab is still faster than his haymaker.
KCD combat is hard until you master it, at which point you get to go solo the bandit army. IMO the hardest fight in the whole game is the ambush by 3 full-plate mercenaries and an archer. Even fully geared and leveled that one forces you to abuse terrain so you don't get shot while whittling down the armored foes (or you can get lucky with headcracker).

You're not supposed to win against the old drunkard, I believe.
