No one is saying he is invincible. Just that to say a few air punches and lightning strikes seriously injured him enough to allow Korra to attack Amon despite bloodbending her is doing a serious disservice to Amon’s natural abilities. Also, they don’t show Mako in between Korra knocking Amon back when she delivers the first air punch and the last air kick. Therefore, it is entirely within the realm of probability that Mako was going to attack Amon. Sure he was surprised at the initial air punch Korra threw but after a few hits he certainly wasn’t going to allow her to strike any more blows and subsequently focused bending on Korra.

Also, you’re mistaking being winded as opposed to being distracted. When Amon took Korra’s ability to bend water, earth and fire, he was bloodbending BOTH Korra and Mako and was completely focused enough to bend on both of them without them resisting too much. It is unlike the situation where Amon bends Korra and my theory that he is distracted by Mako just preparing to strike lightning at him. If he was winded as you suggest, he would have struggled to bloodbend Korra. Instead, he has absolute control over her and the scene seems to suggest his attention momentarily diverts from her to what is most likely Mako preparing to strike a lightning bolt at him.
