Something I noticed about the Qrow vs Winter fight; Qrow was playing around. He joked, made faces, even took a bow in the beginning and not once took damage except that one strike. Every time Qrow actually started acting instead of reacting, Winter was on the retreat and had to move back too get a better position. The only time she actually had the upper hand was when she pulled out her Nevermore summons, and even then he attacked her through it.

So...I really don't think Winter is that strong. Qrow was playing with her and not giving his all the entire time.
