The point of Mahabali vs Indra is emotional appeal and value. DxD is not really a series that is unpredictable, so it makes use of its strength in the worldbuilding, characters and emotional appeal. There's no need to make unpredictable matches (and as far as those are concerned, out of the current ones there's very few unpredictable ones).
