Mike easily took down five Titans by himself to buy time for the rest of the Survey Corps recruits spreading the warning, but Zeke's behavior threw him off completely. First by having his horse thrown at him, and again when the Beast Titan starting talking to him. At that point he was in no condition to fight, with the bulgy-eyed Titan having twisted and broken his leg beyond repair.

When Levi stepped up, he was already in the zone and had expectations for what Zeke would try to pull. On the other hand, Zeke was completely underestimating Levi, having just managed to wipe out nearly all the Survey Corps in a couple of barrages. When they face off again, I expect he won't be making that mistake twice. Hff... I guess you're right. But I still agree with Neetaku that the Levi scene felt generic and forced; as if to say, "Just in case you've forgotten how strong this charcter is, here's another sample."

But yes, hopefully Zeke won't make the same mistake twice.
