A cheap battery with serious overstated capacity.

The CELLS can deliver about 1A, at 2A they start to loose voltage and at 5A they cannot really do anything.
The two cells matches fairly well, this probably means the battery is manufactured this way, i.e. it is not a old rewrapped cell.

[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The cell is as expected, this means low capacity and not able to deliver much current.
The protection specified on the wrapper is not included, this is a bare cell.

how can a measure hw much current my battery can supply?

You can test batteries with analyzing chargers, hobby chargers and electronic loads. They all exist in versions with computer connection for logging the result.

And please do not quote the full review, if you need to quote something limit it to a few sentences.
