I'm gonna ignore IT for a split second to address your post. They fought, the both seemed to be relishing the combat. Thane got in a really cool looking Phoenix uppercut. Thanos smashed him thru a planet. They both looked to be flash kayoed. Thane came to first bill rushed dad, thru the portal to the god quarry right? Right. At that point prior to the sisters bring the of, Thane looked superior.
Now maybe you're right, maybe the portal weakened him? Maybe that's why he was on his knees. But the point is he was on his knees after fighting Thane and Thane was not.
