Um...kind've impressive I guess, but still not on par with matt.
Here matt uses pressure points to successfully take down the 70 tonner mr. hyde.
Nice but lets not bring PIS into this, because I can easily just show Batman stallmated Karate Kid (a martial arts master from the future, who has FTL reflexes, is way more skilled and beats Kryptonian) in a fight (after being ambushed by him), and that alone would prove Bruce would beat Matt. Plus Bruce has taken down people above 70 tons before in h2h (Aquaman for example)
Here matt is able to blind a man temporarily with a single nerve strike.
Bruces nerve strikes (the ones I showed above) are instant Incaps.
Plus for what its worth Bruce can reverse nerve strike affects, it is shown here: http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/bat%20pics%202/BatmanandRobin04RiZZ3N-Zonepg10.jpg
He also has feats like taking down punisher with pressure points, someone durable enough to fight through injuries like a cut off leg and a slashed throat.
The enhanced guy I posted above was immune to pain and Bruce still brought him down with PP
So yes, its safe to say matt is superior to bruce in nerve strikes.
Its not, especially since its stated that Bruce knows all the pressure points.
As far as strength and durability once again its very debatable.
Debatable sure, but I would say Bruce has consistantly been shown to be stronger and he has been shown to be a better damage soak.
Here matt flips a limo with three people in it.
He doesn't show this strength level consistently, and it was a one time thing so I'm going to call piss.
In any case Batman has been shown rapidly dying/weakening from exposure to poisonous gas in a trapped room set for him by Talia, he still manages to put a huge crack in a reinforced glass window made to withstand a bazooka blast after repeated blows. However, he proves unable to finish breaking it due to being too weakened by the gas (Batman Chronicles #8)

He's also been shown to be strong enough to use a 450 pound barbell as a bow staff.
Bruce during his regular work out Benches 1000 (his max): http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/bat%20pics%202/batweightraining.jpg
He has also been shown to move things that are 600+ lb, so he can replicate that
I'd agree that bruce might be stronger but definitely not by much, which won't really matter anyway, since bruce will never tag matt.
Oh Bruce will, Matt isn't a speedster and while he is very agile, he isn't untouchable, and plenty of people have tagged Matt. And also Bruce has kept up with Shiva and Dick (both are faster) and has tagged them. Matt will be no different.
Matt has feats like easily dodging gunfire from top tier marmen like punisher and winter soldier, as well as repelling bullets in close range.
That's impressive.
So does Bruce here are a few instances
Dodges KGBeasts gun fire in an uncomfortable position (12 of the 16): http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/batman419-10nightsofbeast2.jpg
Dodges Hush's gunshots head on while displaying very fast reflex speed and very skilled marksmanship at the sametime disarming Hush of both his guns plus hits Hush right in the center of his helmet with pinpoint accuracy (Batman Eternal #34): http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/Marksmanship/batmaneternal34-hushtarget.jpg
Ducks under a bullet fired at point blank range from Deadshot then takes him down with 1 punch (Suicide Squad #10): http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/th_batshotduck.jpg
Using some impressive acrobats with some help from his grapnel gun, he saves a GCPD officer plus David Cain (who's shooting at him) while in a very high freefall (Batman #607): http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll223/darknight2k/Agility-Speed/Agility/batman607-batfreefallsave3.jpg
Bruce also has showings of him dodging blasts from Fire storm and Power Ring. Evading helicopter gunfire and taking down rooms full of guys with guns shooting for him.
Again Bruce will still be able to tag him.
He's even outpaced captain America, someone who at the very least is equal to bruce physically. I would post scans but I feel like i've posted enough already.
No need to post any scan I know what your talking about.
Again impressive, but still doesn't mean that Bruce can't tag him. Dare Devil has been tagged by Ikira, The Shroud, Bullseye, Punisher, Elektra, Cap even tagged him in that fight. Matts fast Ill give you that, but not so fast to the point where Bruce (a highly skilled opponent) can't react to him, since Bruce has tagged Shiva and Slade before who both are faster than Matt and Bruce.
As far as skill, I agree that bruce is superior, but it wont matter much, with matts vast knowledge of pressure points.
Bruce is superior with his fighting and knowledge of Pressure points., Bruce is stated to know every pressure point. Bruce has many techniques such as the leapords blow, vibrating palm and 461 different ways of incaping Matt. And even if Matt does land a PP on him he can reverse it (of course depending on where it lands). If we factor in all the other attributes into a fight between Bruce and Matt, Bruce will win. Bruce is superior in skill and pressure points, he is stronger, durability, and the fact he has a greater tactical/strategic mind coupled with the fact that Bruce will be able to keep up with Matt, Bruce should win over Matt.
