... It was Sozin's Comet that let them produce so much fire. Every single fire bender that day was able to incinerate a forest. If you're going by the amount of bending shown, none of the bending has been all too impressive because of the situations in which bending was utilized.
Pro bending isn't going to be as showy as actual bending fights because it relies on stamina and conservation of energy. It's the boxing equivalent for bending. You don't just throw everything you got in one go, cause you'd get destroyed in all the other rounds.
Also considering how the Triad from the first episode were hiding their bending, it wouldn't be absurd to think there's a bending prohibition within the city with the exception of the police force, the arena, and airbender island.

Don't forget that pro bending has a lot of restrictions placed on it to make sure you can't kill the other players.

Just to prove your point wrong, they did that fight when Sozin's comet was near them, making their fire a lot stronger.

Just to remind you guys, typical benders aren't that spectacular. The appeal of pro-bending is the competition and fighting styles, not the "Killitwithfire" mentality.
Does anyone else despise that lumpy headed kid or just me?
