Yang vs Neo and Weiss Vs Bane are both power vs agility fights.

Both fights are won or lost on one strategy and one move.

Yang lost and Bane won The Strategy: When a slower stronger fighter faces a quicker nimbler opponent they should block block  block wait and watch for an opening then strike. Bane did this and won. Yang on the other hand chased Neo around and let her pace the fight and lost.

Yang lost and Bane Won The Move: When a heavy or power fighter gets a hold of more agile  opponent they should not let go. Bane did this when he got a hold on Weiss he held on and face planted her into the deck. Yang on the other hand literally threw her chance for victory away.

Neo and Bane probably had Cinder's "the list" detailing fighting styles and semblances. Yang and Weiss were facing totally unknown opponents. Knowledge is power.

Does this mean Yang and Weiss are poor fighters? H*ll no it just means they are still students still learning.
