There's not much that I can say here that hasn't been touched on by others, but here goes. Wolverine's greatest asset (aside from his near-invulerability and regeneration) is his long combat experience - over one hundred years fighting in American and Canadian battles, and later against other mutants who are just as strong as he is. However, 100 years, while a lot for humans, pales in comparison to the experience of a powerful vampire lord like Demitri, who has at least 50 years more combat experience on Earth - and from what I can gather, centuries more before his banishment (500 years, it says). Wolverine fights demigod-level foes like the Hulk and Spider-Man, but Demitri Maximoff takes on full-on god-level foes (Jon Taliban and that other guy), making him that much more skilled both physically and psychologically. Granted, Wolverine's battle rage will likely keep him from falling prey to Maximoff's mind tricks, but I still believe that Demitri Maximoff's more balanced offensive/defensive arsenal, coupled with his greater combat experience, will lead him to strike more precisely and more powerfully, and ultimately overcome Wolverine.
