And the only mention of a battle between the two, from Gold, is him telling Regina he can "handle Cora", her replying that that's now how Cora tells it, and him saying "I won in the end." It's foreshadowing "The Miller's Daughter", and doesn't mean they had some epic battle anyway. She conned him, and yet, he got what he wanted in the end: Regina to cast his Curse.

Oh, thanks. Somehow since hearing Gold's and Regina's conversation in 208 I kept wondering what they were talking about back then for the rest of S2 and disappointed that they never took that up again. I was expecting a real fight somehow. In fact they did. Until now, it never occured to me that he was talking about Regina as the subject of their fight

Considering it your explenation makes much more sense to me. Thanks.
