Kenobi wins with GREAT difficulty after a very prolonged duel (ala his duel w/ Vader on Mustafar).

I think the quote used Sith apprentice rather than Sith... However I still fail to see how that puts him in Anakin's league who has considerably better feats.
If you remeber I did mention Maul had a double blade to help him fight mutiple opponents.
I doubt Maul would have lasted as long against these same 2 with just a regular lightsaber.
Kenobi's no match at all for ROTS Anakin. He was able to put up such a good fight at the end because of:
1) Anakin's mental state.
2) According to the ROTS novel, and according to Nick Gillard Kenobi and Anakin both know each others moves inside out, so its difficult for either of them to get past the others defences.
As for this fight, factor in how good Maul is at hand to hand combat. His martial arts, his kicks (which would be deadlier than Ventress's kicks).
This fight has no connection to the Anakin vs Obi-Wan fight, and no one would argue Maul could beat or even match ROTS Anakin.

It is in this fight. If each jedi fight on opposite sides of him, (like they were against Maul at different points in the fight) I dnt see how he can defend against that.
It would at the very least make this fight A LOT harder than it was for Maul. And even though I said ROTS Obi-Wan would defeat TPM Maul, combat wise I see them in the same league.

Nah, especially given that Soresu users are known for getting involved in long, drawn out battles.

You'll have to forgive my dark colleague: He has clung tightly to a deep-seated hatred for the first known Sith apprentice of His Imperial Majesty for years and characteristically underestimates him.
