Yes, Absorbing Man is/was capable of high-end absorption/draining prior to being further amped and enhanced with the superior, amplified Red Hulk power serum. Nonetheless, there is also something that we have to take into consideration as well.
Hulk is also capable of absorbing/draining gamma energy, so it is also quite possible for him to take the gamma back from Creel. Also, it is quite possible that is Hulk and Absorbing Man tried their absorption powers on one another at the same time that they could have canceled one another out. The irresistible force and the immovable object scenario, if you will.
Further more, if Hulk had gotten angry, thus allowing himself to become stronger and produce more power & energy rather than limiting himself by remaining calm and in control, he could have overloaded or at minimum nullified Creel's upgraded absorbing/draining power amp completely.
Besides that, we must also acknowledge that he seemed more focused on his infliction of being infected with a portion of the Omniversal entity, The One Below All.
