I’m not sure what good output in this case would look like. I’d expect “good prose” in a book’s fight scene to be action oriented and show something about the character or reflect something about the narrative, so, it should often not involve talking.

I guess realistic fights are just a lot of shouting and semi-coherent thoughts (because people don’t have time to come up with a full clever quip in that sort of situation).
