Many other reliefs from the eastern half of the Empire show the same thing - the fighters abandon their shields and finish with what amounts to a knife fight. You don't see this much in the west. Maybe the rules were different there and the gladiator was forbidden to abandon his shield (this may have been a sign of surrender.)
