You could be. You could also be charged at a later date. I suggest you speak with an attorney before you say or do anything else here.

Mr. Henninger is right. Whether you are civilly or criminally liable will depend upon additional facts. That you won the fight isn't terribly relevant to whether you committed a crime or whether you must compensate the other man for his injuries.
