The answer to your question is that final attack and defense values are not directly compared alone, but only after the game has taken into account the influence of the skills. In this particular fight, the difference between the total attack - which is 136191 - and the defense - which is 137246 - is not that big, so plenty of influence was left for the skills.
Hope this helps.
