You're severelly underestimating the Batsuit Bruce has. That thing is a fucking tank, and there's nothing Terry has that'll get past it. And hitting that sweet spot for his chin? Batman's dodged Joker's shots at near point blank range- he'll be easily able to dodge whatever Terry throws his way. Terry's own Batsuit may be able to last against that damage, but it doesn't tank quite what the Bat is bringing- he's thrown around by explosions, superhumans, and other things that the Goddamn Batman can shrug off with ease.

As for experience- this is forgetting the years Bats was operating prior to his retirement. This includes his initial years, and crimefighting alongside both Dick Greyson AND Jason Todd. That's still an incredibly long and versatile track record. Then you need to consider the foes that Batman faced after his retirement- returning rogues, former allies, and a new breed of common criminal in the form of mutants. In terms of experience, it's a wash- both have longetivity, and both have quality.

Overall, I think you're underestimating just what Batman brings to the table. He's not as physically fit or fresh as Terry, but that Batsuit surpasses what he can do in a close quarters fight. Meanwhile, Terry will have to rely on range- which won't even dent the Bat armor until after sustained damage, and it's not even like Batman is defenseless at a range either. Just because it's been awhile since he's fought doesn't mean he can't compete blow for blow against the younger but less brutal and ill-equipped Terry.
