After rewatching that part of the episode I noticed something that wasn't shown in the video. Before she went unconscious she tanked a direct hit from Asura's energy blast (asura was who she was fighting if you haven't guessed it). After the blast she is her body doesn't appear damaged in any way. In fact she wasn't even knocked back by the blast. That proves, at least to me anyway, that her durability is beyond that of Ruby's. It also showed that if she is knocked unconscious that she only seems to wake up after feeling extreme pain, which due to the hardening of the Black Blood makes that very difficult to do. The reason Asura could is because his strength is superhuman and also because he had the Black Blood as well. So even if Ruby was able to successfully break through Maka's defense she would most likely need to fight her unconscious state for the rest of the fight, and it would seem unlikely that Ruby would bring Maka out of that state due to the Black Blood. Maka's defense due to her unconscious state in combo with the Black blood should have Maka's defense overcome Ruby's offense allowing Maka to win.

Also sorry for the large text :/
