Also, Sasuke did get some Karin juice before Danzou's body started going crazy.

Kakashi certainly can't defeat him in a fight, it would be a totally absurd anticlimax to the entire storyarc. Tying with him is also out. I can't really see Kakashi dying in a loss here either, as we just had that plot, back when Pain killed him. His dead dad is gonna be real surprised to see him again so fucking soon if that happens. So just about the only plot resolution I can see happening here (logically, which may not stop a million other retarded outcomes) is for Sasuke to defeat but not kill Kakashi. We can probably also assume that Kakashi is going to unveil and explain how he got his Mangekyou Sharingan before he gets his ass whooped. I wouldn't be surprised if there was also some retarded plot twist where Sasuke rips Kakashi's eye out.
Kakashi can't be beat like a bitch in his first fight as Hokage, it would completely ruin the concept of appointing him. Sasuke is half-blind and battle-worn from consecutive fights, I wouldn't mind seeing his capture, transport to Konoha and interrogation by Ibiki. They are going to need to know what is behind Madara's space/time jutsu if they ever hope to best him.
