Manga logic says this fight is over. The main character gets a ridiculously awesome power up, the main villain gets some kind of power-up/counter that ultimately fails to match it, and then a final clash of some kind where the main character barely emerges the victor.

However, OnePiece logic says this fight is not. Luffy has taken more damage from BELLAMY than he has the main antagonist of this arc. WTF. Furthermore, Luffy NEVER outright kicks a main villains ass. The upper hand in the fight always seesaws between the two combatants a few times before Luffy ultimately does something to end the fight. The mini-clash they had before the birdcage notwithstanding, not once has Mingo gained a sustained upper hand against Luffy of his own accord. Everyone main villain Luffy has fought has had at least one point in the fight where they caused Luffy serious, constant damage for a time. Never once during this battle did we question Luffy's ability to win. I think Doffy's got some kind of trump card he's been holding out on, since I highly doubt anyone has kicked his ass like this......ever....
