Might as well play up the fight for the sake of the struggle. I think it'd lack something in the moment anyways if it was such a quick boom and done. Piss off Luffy that much, might as well let that last shot last for a bit.
The problem here is that the anime-only viewers get the wrong perception. In the anime, they made it seem like Doffy could give G4 Luffy a run for his money when that couldn't be further from the truth. There didn't need to be any more of a struggle since the whole arc in itself already has been one (and a very long one at that). As usual, Toei's padding creates problems concerning the strength of characters. An extreme example is when they made Luffy struggle against Hody Jones. Complete BS.
