How do you watch the show then? Well nvm, I'll try to explain it in simple terms.

Amon told Korra that it was too soon for them too fight. He said it was because if he won now, the Avatar would become a martyr, and that could be used against him.

He already is trying to appear like a sympathetic figure on the side of the "victim" non benders, so if the council used the Avatar as a martyr it could flip flop public opinion and ruin his Equalist agenda against the "oppressive bending establishment".

As a result, he said he'll wait to fight her until the time is right. But he vowed to destroy her when they do finally fight, saying that he is saving her for later and that it will be easy.
