(vai) pegá-lo de jeito
Já que é uma gíria, esta é minha sugestão.
"To coldcock" seria mais que derrubar ou nocautear.
to coldcock (third-person singular simple present coldcocks, present participle coldcocking, simple past and past participle coldcocked)
1.(slang) To strike someone unexpectedly, often from outside of their field of vision.

O significado de "pegar alguém de jeito" não é "pegar-se com alguém", mas atingir com eficiência. "coldcock" é uma gíria, então, eu usaria uma gíria em português . (IMHO)

Comment: "Concordo com nocautear, mas como o Marcelo Lino salientou, é uma gíria. Desculpe se cometi alguma injustiça na escolha. Com tantas respostas, às vezes me sinto incapaz de julgar corretamente."
