It really didn't.

1. Lucci had to use a named attack on zoro which he didn't on luffy in gear.

2. He had to resort to his strongest attack on zoro while in his strongest form

3. He had to wait until zoro get distracted to pull if off which means he lacked the ability and speed to do so on his own against zoro even in his awakened form.
The spoiler could be true and it wont change anything lol beside wanking zoro further for tanking lucci strongest move in awakening while distracted.
