It seems like a very close fight at first, but when looked deep into the characters the decision shouldn't be too hard. I'd say Bayo's fate is sealed due to many reasons:

1) We can't deny the fact that Dante's healing factor is like a cheat code. With no regerative abilities, Bayo will have difficulty fighting if she ever takes a wound.

2) Dante's arsenal has a lot more utility and diversity than Bayo's. Also, it is shown to be FAR bigger and deadlier than what Bayo has at her disposal. (Built as a giant hammer even though it has the same power as a normal sword ROFL)

3) Quicksilver is a hard counter for Witch Time. It's also worth mentioning that Quicksilver can be used at anytime while Witch Time is situational.

4) Dante has dealt with seductive witches like Bayo before, so seduction is ineffective.

5) Dante is used to fighing multiple large demons so being able to create demons with the suit won't give much of an edge to Bayo.

6) Defeating "The Creater" may sound impressive, it was done by two witches' combined demon summon ritual. The teamwork is more evident in the second game. Also confirms that punching Jubelius to the sun is an outlier. (Queen Sheba did it, not Bayo.)

7) The demons Dante fights aren't much different that Bayo's. Also worth mentioning Dante prefers to fight all on is own.

BONUS: Hideki Kamiya sided with Bayo because of bias towards women. He himself confirmed it.
