Nothing will happen to this guy becasue you "had some words". His attorney wil say he was provoked.

His attorney isn't going to say that unless he's a complete idiot. There's no state I'm aware of that allows words only to be a provocation for physical action.
I don't know why people make this stuff up and assume the worst. These things almost always get plead out since there isn't a defense and there was witnesses.
You also need to go to small claims court and file a civil suit against him for assault and/or battery. He almost certainly has liability insurance and you can get some money out of it. If you want to give it to charity, that's fine, but you need to go through the process. People like this need to be dealt with harshly.
Don't forget folks: you CAN defend yourself. Don't sit there and be a punching bag. Learn how to kick to the groin and grab an elbow.
