[ Steve's fist does hit Sharon in the arm, but that's an area that's much less likely to incapacitate her, as opposed to if he'd punched her square in the chest and knocked the wind out of her. She's sharp, an agent of SHIELD through and through.
When she pivots the momentum into a kick, Steve manages to get his arm up fast enough to catch her by the ankle, holding her in place in that somewhat awkward position. It grounds the fight to a halt for a few seconds. That's bound to throw Sharon off-balance, unless she can twist her way out of the hold. ]
If I didn't have an unfair advantage, you'd probably be wiping the floor with me. [ He'll admit it. ]
