Well what you need in a he said/ she said scenario is corroborating evidence. All those scenarios you describe also show corroborating evidence. I think the best hope for this case is to get the guy with the broken nose to go to the police. Assuming he is an independent party to the girlfriend and the friend you may actually have a case of some kind. But once again there is always the self defence argument, which would not be overly difficult to prove in this case, but would probably depend a lot on demeanor of the witnesses.
