I don't know the extent of Winter's skill...assuming she's weaker than Qrow (Whom Magentos would get destroyed by, almost as bad as by Ozpin), she still has enough skill not to not back down from a fight against him.

We have not seen the extent of her skill yet for me to come to a conclusion, but making an educated guess based on the fact that she's older, more experienced and more skilled than Weiss...I'd say Magentos would lose. But not by much.

Yep, I'm aware, but this is not a duel to test skill, but more of a learning exercise. You could say Magentos got "partnered" with Weiss, to help develop her skills. Thus he run towards her at the end of the duel to make sure she was alright. And after the duel he would give her tips on how to improve her skills. So not a competitive duel.
