There were many factors that could affect the outcome of a ninja battle: intelligence, condition, even state of mind. All of them could influence the final result.
In the original timeline, when Sasuke fought Danzo, Danzo had been caught off guard, putting him at a disadvantage from the very start.
Then Obito had easily taken care of Danzo's two capable guards, dealing a serious blow to his confidence. As a result, throughout his fight with Sasuke, Danzo had to devote part of his attention to watching Obito, who was standing by to support Sasuke.
