Will his enemy really be harder than Tong Po?

Bigger, stronger yes (and younger if you go by age of actor) but does that mean more SKILLED? Tong po was a MASTER and what about tradeoffs? I suspect SWORDS won't be part of this fight as they were in Vengeance and I suspect in a sword fight or a fight involving other weapons Tong Po would have the edge, this other guy seems just hand to hand.
