Point wise is mostly irrelevant. Real fights aren't Olympic sparring matches. Hulk's punch did more damage and the end of the fight has him tossing Thor around like a doll. Hulk was winning the fight.
It's relevant because the fight was stopped in the middle.
Not sure Hulk did more damage to Thor with the exception of the bloody nose which came from the cheap shot when Thor was trying to talk to Hulk.
The tossing Thor around part was the only time Hulk was really winning the whole fight.

In TIH and the Avengers we can see Hulk getting angrier during fights, but your right in that there is no clear implication that anger positively correlates with strength.I guess until it's made official in the MCU my argument is pretty much irrelevant. 🙁

I actually want it confirmed on screen myself!

[B]On the other side, however, you can't claim Thor was holding back, as there was no "official" implication that he was pulling punches.
Except that he wasn't using half the powers he's displayed in the movie-verse. Granted he may have been holding back due to CIS (Character Induced Stupidity) which is the characters own fault. But it could have also been to protect the hellicarrier. Either way he didn't use his full power set.

The point stands that Hulk was beating Thor like a rag-doll.
At one point in the fight, yes. But there were other points when Thor was humiliating Hulk, by evading all Hulk's hits, whilst getting his own clean shots in on Hulk.
But to both of you: Yes I admit Hulk appeared to be winning at the end of the fight. All I'm saying is:
1) Thor clearly didn't give Hulk his full mojo
2) Thor was still outclassing Hulk for a good portion of the fight.
