Mercutio had every intention of fighting with the Capulets and especially with Tybalt long before Romeo shows up. "Couple it with something--make it a word and a blow" is about as provocative as you can get. He's looking for a fight but Tybalt is only interested in Romeo. Romeo does not need defending (although in the 1996 movie it's played that way) from a physical assault by Tybalt. Mercutio may be making like he's defending Romeo's honour but he's really satisfying his own desire to fight with Tybalt. Romeo knows full well that his honour is best served by not fighting with his kinsmen (which since his marriage includes Tybalt) and he does not need help. Mercutio was wrong to get involved.
