Rise abomination!
On a more serious note, I came across this and I wanted to clear it up for those who participated.

Doctor's incredible strength
The Doctor does not have incredible strength. He never has, never will. This instance is simply a hold over from his Regeneration phase. Just after a Time Lord regenerates, they can use excess energy to regrow limbs or alter their physical form (if they voluntarily regenerated), and so forth.
The Doctor is not going to kick a door off its hinges. If he could, there's several scenarios where he would have used that strength to save his and his friends from almost certain doom a great deal sooner.
A Time Lord's regeneration is not unlimited. For example, in Turn Left (or was it right...?), we see an alternate timeline where the Doctor does from being drowned. That's right, apparently he drowned too quickly before he could trigger his regeneration cycle. If you can drown and fail at Regeneration...well, that doesn't bode well for someone who doesn't have a problem cutting your limbs up.
Furthermore, even if the Doctor did regenerate, a Time Lord is typically very, very vulnerable after a regeneration cycle. We've seen this countless times with the Doctor himself. His tenth incarnation for example, was completely and utterly helpless for most of a day before he was able to get up and start fighting. Even the eleventh doctor suffered a fair bit of personality problems and mental instability.
They won't be in much of a state to continue fighting against a trained opponent.
Granted.
The Doctor's psychic powers has always been limited. I can't see there being any way that he could use his latent abilities to fix a fight in his favor. There are a few instances where the Doctor has the means of using some really powerful psychic abilities, but this is very atypical. The best instance was when he used the Archangel network--and that required the latent psychic energy of most of the world's population for him to achieve what he did.
