shield & sword/spear > throwing knives

you can't hold all three (plus the net) at the same time. gladiators didn't commonly use shields. actually, the show didn't even showcase it as one of the weapons of the gladiator. they more commonly use the trident and net. if so, a knife thrown accurately (which is easy to do for an apache who has been doing it for his whole life) can just kill him easily even before the fight begins. there's nothing much you can do if you don't have any decent range weapons.

that's because the show is stupid, sheild tied to one arm carry the spear shethe the sword on the belt easy. 

what peice of equipment do all these pics have in common? Oh yes a shield and also armor, Throwing knife at mid to long range can be blocked by the sheid then the gladiator throws a spear ether skewering the apache or if dodged then charges knocking Apache to the ground stab and kick until death. Easy victory 

 

And yes every time you post one of these I will explain how the oposite worrior will win, this one was especially easy as the show seems to have deliberately let the Apache win by not giving the Gadiator the proper weapons, tho I guess you could replace the spear with a waighted net if you wish to stick closer to the show.
