Blake later took him out alone and without much difficulty, by using Dust attacks Roman didn't anticipate. I reckon Ruby stood a decent chance of defeating him, though it would be a toss-up.

Fights in the world of RWBY aren't purely about skill and strength, there's also a huge element of tactics (and luck) involved. A weaker fighter can defeat a stronger one depending on how the fight goes, if they make mistakes, etc.
