Miraak lost the fight despite using four dragons to restore himself and when he was about to receive the finishing blow, Mora killed him. Mora killing him actually means something don't you think? I mean, the idea that Miraak was able to resist Herma-Mora. In fact...Herma-Mora was the reason why Miraak Lost. Miraak was trying to keep himself in standing between fighting the Dragonborn and resist Mora in everyway possible for him to avoid him. Miraak bent the minds of seekers, and Lurkers, as well as Dragons to keep himself guarded at all times.

Miraak was technically fighting off a Daedric prince in addition to the Dragonborn who took control of a dragon to keep the other dragons at bay. Miraak has more knowledge more power he learned from Herma-Mora and knew very well that if he used too much, Mora would grab him in an instant. I am confused about Skyrim now, I say that Daedra can't really kill their champions, because either they are too lazy to do it themselves or they cant at all! That is why you are sent to kill them instead, and well, I agree, Mora is a cheating big ugly demon, and I wish that the fight was harder, but Miraak was strong in himself to resist staying in Apocrypha forever.
