[ Thor's flair for the dramatic comes from a few places - his upbringing, his ego, his natural inclination towards it - but most of all, it comes from the sheer enjoyment of a good fight. He is a god of thunder; whether it be the thunder of battle or the thunder of a storm, it sings in his blood.
John is as skilled as he had expected and then some. He manages to get a few good shots in, with the same kind of methodical calculation that Steve had always used to get past Thor's guard - which is perhaps unsurprisingly lax, considering that very little can cause him harm.
Thor's style is heavier, more reckless and brutal than John's, even peppered as it is when with the quick flashes of his grin and teasing remarks.
It was never a fair fight to begin with, but by the end of it Thor has tasted his own blood in his mouth, and John has yet another measure of his respect. It just happens that even with that measure of respect, John ends up face down on the ground with Thor's knee digging into his back and both of his hands pinned behind him in Thor's stronger grip. ]
