Well I do believe that Lee would win but at the same time I admit that this would not be an easy victory for a number of reasons. Firstly both lee and Sakura are taijutsu specialists. Plus Sakura has training as a medical ninja and incredibly fine chakra control (the root of her “monstrous” strength). Not to mention Sakura’s chakra control requires basically no conscious effort on her part to be used (owing to her years of training with Tsunade and years of experience during and afterwards). Additionally for Lee to make full use of his taijutsu prowess he needs to get in very close to his opponent. If he gets in too close and cannot dodge or evade Sakuras attacks (which would be remarkable in itself based on his performance against Gaara during the chunin exams) than even if she so much as flicks him on the forehead that would be enough to finish the fight right then and there. But having said all this I will add a slight but relevant caveat. Sakura would never hurt Lee because they are friends, comrades, and fellow war survivors. Likewise Lee would never hurt Sakura for virtually the same reasons and because he has long had a crush on her. In fact just about the only way I can imagine lee dying would be if and/or when his training finally becomes so extreme that his body cannot handle/sustain it any longer and simply stops functioning altogether.
