There is no fight. Sam does not 'sink his blade into the Ringwraith's thigh', nor does his thrust save Frodo's life. (If he had, the result would have been much the same as in III 117-20 [the slaying of the Witch-King] the Wraith would have fallen down and the sword would have been destroyed.) - Letter 210, on the actions on Weathertop

Neither did Frodo stab a Nazgûl, thus; had he, the Wraith would indeed have perished.
