He very specifically does not beat Demandred. He does, in fact, lose. He wasn’t there to win though. He kills Demandred but was fully expecting not to survive the fight. Also, Demandred was interested in having a fair fight, and Lan had on a Medallion stopping him from cheating with the power. Against 2 fades at night he has NONE of those things, and the fades are free to teleport around him at will.
Mat fought the gholam to a standstill because he had the ONLY weapon on the planet that could harm it. If he hadn’t had that, he would have been absolutely shredded. But because of the Medallion, the gholam was holding back because it was afraid Mat could maim or kill it, which was something it had never faced before.
The fade nailed to a barn door because he had crazy mind control powers, he didn’t have to fight it. Fades will do what they’re told when ordered by someone they fear enough, even go into certain death.
