how does frederick win the fight with mr covey chapter 10-11

Covey attacked Douglass and, for the first time, Douglass resolved to fight back. The men were locked in vicious combat. Covey told a man named Hughes to help him, but one kick from Douglass to Hughes stopped the interloper. Bill was told to help, but replied that he was not hired to whip Douglass. After two hours of combat the battle ended. Covey had not whipped Douglass at all. For the next six months Covey never laid another hand on Douglass.
