My understanding is that nobody saw how the two ended up in a confrontation or how the fight started. All we have is Zimmerman's side of the story.
What if it really went down the other way around? What if Zimmerman continued to follow Martin who finally stopped and asked why Zimmerman was following him? Zimmerman says a few things and Martin decides to leave. Zimmerman grabs him and holds him, trying to detain him and that is how the fight starts. If it goes down that way with Zimmerman as the aggressor do you still feel the same way?

We don't. All we have is Zimmerman's side of the story. All witnesses seem to report is two men rolling around in the grass fighting.
Claiming "self defense" doesn't fly for me. Zimmerman was an adult, was armed, and confronted Martin. We don't know who threw the first punch, but at no time was Zimmerman "in danger for his life". He had a few cuts.
