They fought for a while until Vader sliced Maul's staff into 2, however it didn't cause any damage so Maul instead switched to a Jar'Kai style, which Vader is weak against.

Maul then put Vader in a choke hold and asked, "What can you hate so much to be able to destroy me?"
"Myself..." Then Vader stabbed his lightsaber through himself to kill Maul

very epic battle
This is "Resurrection" right?
In the comic it says that the Prophets of the Dark Side resurrected Maul coz they think Vader is not good enough to be Palpy's apprentice.
They never fought in the presence of Palpatine.
Palpatine came to the place to check on Vader's progress. Palpatine subsequently Force Lightning'd all the the Prophets.

Wired. But cadet should be able to beat Maul easily. He was said to be 80 percent of Sidious. Making him more than strong enough to kick maul's ass.

Of course, not only that but prosthetics on Vader made him slower and more vulnerable to faster fighters like Galen Marek

There was also this other thing where people said if Dooku were to fight Maul, Dooku would win by quite a margin~ considering how Maul < Obi < Dooku

Not to mention how much time has passed since Obi vs Maul and Obi vs Dooku, so he should be even stronger in the latter duel

Actually I strongly dun believe the theory that A beats B who beats C will definately beat C. In lightsaber duels, different styles of combat clash with different results. Like even in sports. Obi WAN s mastery of soresu the most defensive form was best able to challenge Anakin s aggressive style of djem so. While Dookus elegant mastery of makashi did not provide enough kinetic energy to match anakins djem so emphasis on brute strength

according to your logic, Singapore football team should be ranked top 10 in the world.
