yeah but Dulio trained for years and he is not a fool, it's obvious he knew that he could not always fight from the distance and so he had to work on his close range combat. By the way it's obvious he is weaker than Issei in that because even with great training Issei there are limit to the raw strenght that an Angel, especially a young one (even if so powerful) can possess.
