Mercutio accepts Tybalt's challenge on Romeo's behalf. But it may be debated whether Tybalt would have murdered Romeo had Mercutio not intervened--probably not. The only point where Tybalt was actually on the point of killing Romeo was when Romeo attacked him, and Romeo was the one who prevented Tybalt from killing him.
