That's like Kakashi using Kamui to teleport into his dimension and squatting for awhile to regain chakra. It defeats the purpose of versus debates. Sure Katsuya can tank hits from Lee for Sakura, but Sakura just hiding in Katsuya defeats the purpose of a versus debate.

Since when does every fight only compose of offensive means?

It was heavily implied that Sakura needed to gain the Strength of a Hundred Seal to summon Katsuyu, and Katsuyu, like every other summon, is produced by a Summoning Technique. Placing a restriction on how this technique, and more so summon, is used seems illogical to me, especially when Katsuyu has demonstrated defensive capabilities that can be exercised as an option. This doesn't defeat the purposes of a versus debate, it is simply understanding what each combatant can do and how it weighs against the other, because if you've forgotten, thousands and thousands of villagers didn't hide within Katsuyu against Pain's attack, they survived. I don't like repeating myself, but again I have to reiterate that Katsuyu can exhaust Lee long enough for Sakura to deliver the final blow. This is something that CAN happen, and should be considered.

With the Strength of a Hundred Seal, noted evasion and the fact that it only requires a swipe of her own blood, (whether as a result from Lee's attack or her own) I'm confident Sakura can summon Katsuyu. Until I am convinced otherwise, I still don't think Lee can win here.
