Maybe I missed this but where does it say he was holding back? From the looks of it he was trying as hard as he could. Enchantment’s fine it still caused a K.O and it was done via speed blitz something Thor failed to react to. Now lawest9 asked for an incident and I provided one. Again the K.O occurred because Gladiator was cheapshoted after they saved the plane but I don't want to this turn into a Thor vs Gladiator thread.I was merely telling to Quanchi that Gladiator has done well against Thor.
Thor states it when he puts him into the pavement. He was trying to assess the situation and even though still fighting back he was still holding back on Glads.
Airwalker has done better against Thor while he was holding back then Gladiator. The point is on here Thor doesn't revert to a lame human when he loses his hammer and the moment he quit holding back Glads was beaten and fairly easily.
Thor stomps Glads when he decides to not hold back.

Both the first fight and Masterson's Gladiator's speed made both Thors look like fools. The second fight shows how Thor managed a sucker attack after both had saved the plane. He followed through after that sucker attack. This is no different then when Masterson managed a surprise attack on Kallark and connected blows after he was stunned. Otherwise Kallark would've given him a beat down. Look at the first fight when Thor barely managed to knocked back the debris and is blitz by Kallark. The Odinson couldn't cope at all in reaction time, got his hammer act out, and an upper all before he realized what happened. Gladiator removes that hammer long enough from Thor and Thor's going to get pummeled.
Two things.
1. Masterson was not confident at all in his abilities while Gladiator was overconfident when they squared off. Masterson was also a relative noob with the powers of Thor and still was resourceful enough to get the win. Now, I agree Masterson loses the majority against Gladiator but the real Thor is another matter entirely.
2.There were innocents close by and Thor was reacting with their best interests at batting away the debris. Glads barely hit him before he could react because he was too busy sending the debris away which tells me Glads can't just blitz him straight up or else why throw the debris in the first place.
Thor reverted to a human being and was holding back. The moment he quit Glads was defeated and rather quickly. Glads was sent home and his own words were something like,"He's too strong."
Thor owns Gladiator the moment he wants to.
