IMHO, that fight is one of the best parts of the manga. I agree something about it didn't feel quite right. It was almost TOO comical. Though I don't know Japanese, I can't help but wonder if another translation would make more sense (I watched HGF). I know translation can be more of an art than a science, so it makes sense that it would be different, but I'm pretty sure the wording in the manga translation I read made a little more sense, too.
Then again, everything makes more sense when it's not chopped up ^^
