Maximus has better training for one of the most powerful armys of all time. Plus body armor the fact the bola and fire bracket are none lethal gives him the win. Sure you can get burned with a torch but it a big obvious weapon as opposed to the stilleto ife which and deliever a quick and effiecent kill and has a surprise factor.
