The use of deadly force would not be warranted in this situation unless there was a firearm or knife or some other blunt instrument. Pepper spray would be the best use of necessary physical force to stop the assault.
Not to nit pick here but fists are blunt instruments in my opinion. At the risk of a slight divergence, I’ll dredge up Trayvon Martin as he was physically overpowering George Zimmerman. I wonder how this would turn out if this so-called woman had pulled a legal firearm while being pummeled. Nevertheless, I would only intervene with a firearm if I believed that there was danger to life. I used to think differently, and it has taken several years to reach this view. I don’t carry pepper spray. Maybe I should.
