It isn't defamation unless it is actually false, and the risks are a civil lawsuit.

You all are talking past each other because you're talking about different things. They can't say he's guilty until he's convicted, because he isn't guilty until then. They also don't have to say he 'allegedly' punched someone when multiple people reported witnessing it, the other guy's face is bloody and and there is video of him hitting the guy. Saying he's guilty of a crime and saying he punched someone are two different claims.
