I agree that Sasuke cannot effortlessly open dimensional portals, however Sasuke did not lose to Shin. He basically crippled them both with one fireball, even though Shin used his Mangekyou ability to manipulate the weapon the younger Shin was holding into moving behind him, so he could use said Shin as a shield.

He didn't lose, and if Shin didn't have that ability (which only Naruto seemed to be aware of, but not knowing the full extent of it) he would have been killed. He took down Shin in a few panels. If that wasn't blitzing for you, I don't know what is.
