He was getting his ass handed to him pretty hard. Don't get me wrong he is pretty skilled but, in the end, he only dueled with Malgus for half a minute before being gutted.
He'd already beat Malgus as far as scoring a critical hit is concerned. He just had this suicidal-walk straight-into-my enemy space thing. Plus Malgus probably TK locked him.

Malgus only got one physical hit in and it was as insignificant as Zallow's. Malgus forced Zallow back in the start, Zallow forced back Malgus in the end.
Except, Malgus's kick sent Zallow flying backwards. He also sent Zallow threw concrete with a force push. But, of course, the big one is when he stabs Zallow.
And forcing people back is pretty meaningless it just typically means you are on the defensive, nothing more or less.
True, the book does change the duel. But I favor what happened in the trailer. If only because it is far cooler. Not sure which version is more canon however.

Again, the only significant blow Malgus dealt him was the fatal one. The kick did as little as Zallow's hit did. The Force push came thanks to Zallow being distracted by other Sith warriors.
The book should undoubtedly be of higher canonicity level.
Malgus doesn't throw his lightsaber until after Zallow kills the Sith. Perhaps, were the Sith not there Zallow may have doged it a differnt way. Regardless, Malgus still took down Zallow is a short fight. Seems pretty clear Zallow was quite outmatched.
The trailer was released first, the book second, and the cutscene third.

I know... but it would have been easy to dodge had he not been occupied with the Sith. Regardless, it was an insignificant hit. It did nothing in Malgus's favor.
Good. Book is newer, it enjoys superiority over the older trailer.
