A controversial viewpoint, Trocity, given that Sidious can at-best push Mace with TK, while he can easily choke Dooku.
Force Pushes/Slams can be lethal mid-combatl. Savage beat Adi after force slamming her.
But that doesn't mean he could have just instantly TK Owned her any second he felt like it during the fight. However Sidious clearly could do to Maul.

Mid-Saber Combat? That remains to be shown.

Where is this "mid-saber combat-telekinesis" concept you're referencing coming from, DP? To my knowledge having a lightsaber in your hand doesn't increase your defence to telekinesis. Maybe Filoni stated that it does, I'm couldn't say.
Well for one in that scenario your opponent is fighting back, and presumably has his guard up.
And Second, you're multi-tasking. Deflecting Saber blows, whilst applying TK.
Dooku vs Ventress is actually a decent example. He could Force Choke her, once the opportunity presented itself Mid-Saber battle. You think it would have taken him that long to do so had she not been engaging him with her Saber. Nah.
There's a reason why Saber fights are still the Primary form of Combat between Jedi and Sith.

How's that relevant in a force only gauntlet though?
Try following the posts, and you'll see. It's only 2 pages.
But basically we're comparing Mace vs Dooku in the Force. Then asking why Mace didn't get Force stomped by Sidous, whilst Dooku did.
My answer is because it's harder to force stomp someone in a close quarters saber battle, than it is over a hologram where the inferior force user has no other way to defend.
