That was to the other lad, not you.

When it's a fight to the death, being 'flashy and cool' isn't what I think would be on someone's mind. Maybe Lee's, but definitely not Sakura. A fight isn't meant to be the best or worst; all you have to do is win. Tsunade and Sakura are known to be highly durable in battle as well, hence why they attained the Strength of a Hundred Seal. They can take a hit, long enough to summon Katsuyu, at least. Six Gates doesn't convince me that Lee can do enough damage to kill Sakura. The Seven Gates, however? Then we're talking. But unfortunately Lee is still, even now, unable to open the Seven Gates. If Sakura just hides in Katsuya, then it isn't a fight. There's nothing she could do to hit Lee from there, so she's literally retreating. 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.

Sakura has shown nothing really that says she has the same durability as Tsunade. She hasn't even shown any worthwhile Taijutsu ability. Lee could literally fight her in based long enough to wear her out, to drain her of chakra. He's far enough above her that it wouldn't be that hard. Sakura's main ability is her super strength and healing, but Lee's Taijutsu and speed take away one of her main advantages, the super strength. Basically he can keep pounding away in even in base, and there's nothing she could do about it. She'd just eventually run out of chakra from healing.

It's already shown that Sakura's pretty much useless against people she can't hit. Like with Kakashi, she won't be able to land a hit on Lee. Neither will Katsuya. In fact, Lee could just keep beating her up without giving her a chance to summon Katsuya.

Sakura can take on some pretty powerful opponents. But Lee is just someone that she can't do anything against. She isn't versatile enough. She doesn't have enough options to deal with him. Lee counters her super strength neatly, and can just keep beating her up until she can't walk. Lee could even put a kunai in his hands and speed up the process.
