Ok guys enough with the undeserved Kakashi hype. One could argue that the fight could go either way with guys like Hidan or Deidara or Sasori. But every other Akatsuki member shits on Kakashi. I don't like that fact myself, as Kakashi is my all-time favourite Naruto character. But that doesn't change the hard, cold facts.

Kisame can heal from most fatal injuries thanks to Samehada. He also has his bigass Moving Water Prison or whatever its called. Brains and strategies aren't going to do anything when nothing in Kakashi's arsenal is going to kill Kisame. A Raikiri to his heart might do it. But he's not getting past Kisame's water sharks and the bigass lakes he can create with less than 30% of his chakra. Even if he gets close enough to Kisame to land a raikiri, Samehada is still going to shave his chakra off. Just because Kakashi has lower chakra reserves doesn't mean Samehada will just sit there and not eat up Kakashi's chakra. I don't recall anything saying that Samehada only shaves off Bijuu level chakras. If so, feel free to correct me.
