How I believe it only said that he was training and not actually fought him. If your level 80 and you you train to reach level 90 doesn't mean you can beat them if they were already level 100 from the beginning. Until we the fight we don't know if that's true. All Crom supporters might feel stupid after volume 2. The same goes for Draig supporters.
