Because I started the convo from here:
I brought up the Sabo diff. because it sounded like you were implying Sabo's fight should be around Luffy's fight on a diff. scale.
As for Sabo attacking, the manga only showed 2 attacks before the off paneling so it's left to us to fill in the off screen events. You've seemingly filled that with more fighting but who's to say how long it took Burgess to get up after each hit. In fact it seems like you are adding scenes. The first hit pushed him back when he attacked Luffy,You must be registered for see images
the second attack sent him flying halfway across the town,

The second attack comes after Burgess throws one of his only 2 attacks the entire shown fight and shows him sent flying, then they're gone.
The next time we see them and the logical result of the 2nd attack, Sabo is standing un-tired and unharmed over a beaten and defeated Burgess. With that we have no reason to think other than that's where Burgess landed from the 2nd attack.You must be registered for see images

When we do come back to them Burgess gets one more half an attack in and Sabo wrecks him with the 3rd shown hit of the fight.

So to recap Burgess never landed a single hit, the only damage Sabo received was from the arena that's why there's scuff marks prior to the fight starting, we were only shown 3 hits from Sabo, Burgess was never shown to be putting up any resistance only taking hits. It's your interpretation of the off panel time that says Sabo was constantly beating Burgess to try and get him to stay down when the pictures imply the opposite.
Sorry for delayed response, doing this at work takes some time.
During Luffy's fight with Doffy there was a panel of Sabo charging forward with an intense look on his face. That implies that during the off-panel fight, Sabo was charging at Burgess and continuously attacking him. I'll find it when I get on laptop. Also lol at you saying that last move was "half an attack." Yeah, sure it was.
