I think I quote you too much.

Morgromir this is set on Mustafar, we have no idea where on Mustafar there fighting. The landing pad? Those droids Kenobi and Skywalker were on? How is Maul going to seperate them both when they started in the middle of a landing pad.
Originally posted by MorgromirHe seperated them before by kicking them of narrow catwalks. I wouldn't exactly say the landing pad in ROTS is narrow plus without the OP telling us where on Mustafar they're fighting it could be anywhere.
my point is that here are several places to seperate them maybe in he control room itd be harder but still

that and not being fast enough to withstand a speedrush by kenobi. (my new favorite activiy is proving that after Kenobi centered himself in the force, he was just too fast for Maul.) No evidence to the contrary yet.
Perhaps you need to equip your spectacles as the evidence is right in front of you. Your using plot-induced stupidity to make your point and you're not even doing it correctly. First, Kenobi was hardly "centered in the Force" considering he was tapping into the dark side. Maul had left himself vulnerable by believing Kenobi couldn't touch him - remember, two-on-one and Maul was owning the duo, he just slaughtered Obi-Wan's master - Kenobi's rage indirectly capitalized on that. This lasted but a few moments, as we see Maul quickly regains his composure and the upper hand in the duel. So, should we assume he isn't "fast enough" to defend against any speed-rush performed by Obi-Wan? Absolutely not. The only point you could possibly make out of this is that Maul wasn't prepared enough for Obi-Wan's initial assault in the Duel of Fates. It doesn't mean in any other setting or fight that this would occur. Indeed, to recreate that set of events you would need Qui-Gon dying, the necessity that Obi-Wan has to survive and of course, a Darth Maul who lets his guard down. The fight in Episode I was the definition of PIS.
On paper, which is what we consider a versus fight, Maul should easily be capable of handling even an enraged Obi-Wan. In practice, this isn't always going to be the case, which can be said for many things seeing as versus fights are not story-driven.
