Ronan himself is only about class 75-80 or there abouts in his armor, so Gamora hanging with him in a slugfest is right in the parameters of her attributes. As to why Ronan didn't just selectively disable the gravity around Gamora and finish her off while she was floating helplessly? I don't know? Maybe Thor taught him to use his abilities in the least effective way possible? /shrugThere is about three or four of those little exchanges spread out over Infinity War, not sure about the issues though. I just clearly remember seeing it slightly different in a few panels in several different books across that event.
Ah but it being mostly melee is the REASON it's an example of her fighting outside her weightclass via skill. Not that he didn't try more exotic stuff though, off the top of my I know he opened the ground to drop her in lava, stuck her in some kind of paralization/stasis field, used area effect energy attacks, and it seems like there was some other stuff I'm forgetting about.
From what I've seen of the fight(and I went looking when I was working on Gamora's respect thread) the fight went down just as I said, he grabbed her from behind and then he and Heather each held one arm while Strong Guy KO'd her. I don't think I've ever seen a panel that depicted him actually doing anything to her other than grabbing her from behind.

And if he'd beaten himself in his fight with Gamora it WOULDN'T be impressive. But he didn't, so it is...
