Even Sasuke could land a blow on the 3rd Raikage simply by use of his Sharingan, even though nothing suggests he could match the Raikage's speed. Similarly, Bee was able to counter Minato not because of his speed, but because he saw the attack coming.

Logically, Kakashi can simply use Sharingan to predict Guy's movement and move into an advantageous position to stab Guy, without needing to match his actual speed.

For all his Taijutsu, Guy is not shown to be very maneuverable. Once he sets himself to execute a maneuver, there doesn't seem to be a lot of room to change said maneuver. He's no Minato who did maneuvers mid-air (like against Obito). His speed is based on brute strength, which is advantageous in some cases and not at all in others.

I still stand by my earlier belief that this is a tie: It's mostly down to whoever makes the first mistake.
