It might LOOK like an easy win, but he hadn't gotten this far in life by going off looks alone. So he simply gave his opponent the same respect he gave all of them, and treated him like he was an equal. Of course, his horse was going to get lunged at by a massive cat soon, so the jerk of the horse reacting to a massive predator leaping at it as he slammed his lance into the knight's shield would hopefully unhorse him on the first pass.
