Kakashi had no legitimate defence for that when it was shown, and he had no defence until he acquired Susanoo, which is likely temporary, and even with it, and I saying this, Eight Gates Guy still stomps him. He dies afterwards, but he wins as much as one can win using a murder-suicide tactic. You do realize that Kakashi could just phase through, right? There's no stomping, it'll be a tough and close one.

Kamui intangibility has a 5 minute time limit. Kakashi could just stand and do nothing, but he'd get destroyed immediately after. And he if he did fight back against 8G Gai, he'd get blitzed.

Kakashi's only option against Gai is to stay intangible. If he tries to teleport or fight back, he has to solidify, at which point he gets destroyed.
