Exactly.Nope. In the second fight, Kratos was definitely holding back. Maybe not as much as the first fight, but both him and Mimir were trying to convince Thor to stop mid-battle.
Not only that, there's also the full-powered, bloodlusted hammer blow to the face that Kratos got which he then just shrugged off like nothing ever happened in the rematch. Whereas this same hammer blow held back, "killed" his also-holding-back self because Kratos was too careless and made a mistake.
The new weapons are just icing on the cake, and the dagger thing is just pointless in all honesty. End result is that this left Thor struggling to catch his breath while Kratos just... gets up and gives Thor a pep talk as if he had just taken a morning jog.Kratos won because he had a new weapon+he managed to restrain Thor with that dagger.
