I probably did use th word "fight" a little to liberally there but that was mostly for sake of making the point.

You are right though, by all means a pro like Qrow should have little difficulty in theory against grimm like the Sphinx, my best guesses there is perhaps that fight went the way it did either to do one of three things.

a) Give Qrow fans the satisfaction of  seeing him actually using his scythe more.

b) Show that some grimm are still a credible threat and not just canon fodder for the heros, excluding ones like the Wyvern in V3, the Nuckalavee in V4, or the aforementioned Sphinx as well as the Leviathan that debuted in V6.

c) This is a more personal theory, but to show of how strong and dangerous some of Salem's creations are, tying a bit into Qrow's line from V3 of "I've been out there and seen the things she's made and let me tell you...they are fear"
