i'm not belittling amon's abilities. but i don't think it's out of the question after lightning and being thrown across the hall by air punches. you can't say those combined won't hurt a lot. and where in the scene does it show mako preparing an attack? or that amon was even looking at mako? it was all korra. not seeing something doesn't prove it's there. and it's unlikely given that it appeared he was focused solely on korra. watch it again. between winded and distracted, i think being winded would be the more likely factor. korra wouldn't be able to resist it just because amon had to add another target to his bending. he's well capable of controlling multiple targets instantly if needed, like what he did when his sidekick came. he'd still get mako if he wanted without trouble of letting korra go if it was a matter of distraction. the way i see it, the difference would be in the strength of his grip. lastly, you can't say being winded meant they couldn't bend well anymore. korra did it well enough and so did amon. it just wouldn't be at its optimum outside of our theories, the third alternative is that korra just used brute strength. hard to explain but still possible
