You must have saw a different fight. Obi-Wan was kicking Maul's ass and breaking his lightsaber. Maul ONLY achieved the upper hand when he Force pushed Obi into the hole.
Hmm Janus when Obi Wan started matching Maul his blows his master was already that, granted the fight before that moment had no Obi Wan vs Maul alone but its pretty clear to see that even QGJ could not hold on very well. When they were seperates QGJ died.
Obi Wan became angry and attacked harder and faster you can see the anger and the foolishness in him when he gets force pushed away that shouldn't have happened if he was paying attention like he did in later movies.
Seeing that Obi Wan will not have any reason to be angry here Maul is going to win.
