The one to land a first hit in CQC would likely be Hinata. Her lion fists would grant her longer range, allowing her to fight from a safer distance and to reach Sakura before Sakura can punch her. Hinata also has faster striking speed. This is shown in 64 Palms. 64 Palms is a technique where the user has to strike needle-tip tiny points 64 times in a row, all while taking into consideration the recoil of their attacks as they hit and moving in a fast and speedy manner in order to keep the, and aI quote, "high speed combo" going. Keep in mind that the Chakra points on the fingers and those on the opponents body must be aligned in order to shut them down, meaning if the opponent moves even 1 mm to the left or right, Hinata would have to compensate. In other words, Hinata's strikes are SO fast her opponent can't move even 1 mm to the left or right before her hit lands. 1 mm. Well, this is coming from a girl who can strike 32 small targets within the blink of an eye. So yeah, Hinata has faster striking speed, better eyes to keep track of enemy attacks, and better reflexes, so I think she'd land the first hit.
and the destruction/debris Sakura's fist causes overwhelms Hinata which will make her taijutsu less attentive
Statement based on nothing. No shinobi has shown to struggle in fighting with the ground beneath them shattered.
Sakura has better reflexes
No she doesn't.
Not only is this evident by her Byakugan, her Gentle Fist, and expertise in the 64 Palms as previously pointed out, but we saw a blatant example of this in Chapter 614 when Hinata was able to react to and protect Naruto from a wooden spike while Sakura failed to dodge it and was instead saved by Kakashi. And keep in mind Hinata did this with her Byakugan inactivated, meaning no enhanced vision to track high speed movement.

Another example soon followed.
We see Hinata watch when Obito becomes the Ten Tails Jinchuriki. The transformation is seen twice, one normally, and one through Hinata’s eyes, and more panels are used in Hinata's case.This indicates that Hinata too was using the Byakugan’s ability to keep track of high-speed movement, allowing her to see the Juubi being sealed away in detail. Moreover, Hinata notes that there were at least two ways she was able to tell the Juubi was absorbed by Obito, as she says “Judging by the Chakra as well”, meaning there would have been another method to how she knew the Juubi was sealed, that being that she simply saw it happen.
Obviously Hinata can’t keep track of all speedy movements, but Hinata’s Byakugan is stated to not be inferior to Neji’s in any way at all (Databook), which means her eyes can at least keep up with 4-5 Gate Lee levels of speed. It might even be superior when considering the range of Hinata’s is 20Km while Neji’s was 800m. And we also see that she was able to keep track of Obito absorbing the Juubi, which Sakura FAILED to do. And beforeyou say it was because they were far away, this is not the case, as we see them VERY close the Wood Gates Hashirama was using to hold in the Juubi. Not to mention the entire alliance was in the 4 Sun Seal with the Juubi. From this, it’s evident that Hinata’s slow-mo vision is vastly superior in keeping track of movement than Sakura’s own eyes, as Hinata saw the near-instant sealing of the Juubi in detail while Sakura failed to do so, meaning Hinata would have an easier time keeping track of Sakura’s taijutsu and speed. Even Hiashi saw it with his Byakugan just like Hinata, while everyone else was left clueless due to how fast it happened.

and your slo-mo vision (LMAO) isn't gonna make her speed.
Never said it makes her faster, just that it is a garuntee that she isn't getting blitzed. Even if Sakura has faster foot speed, she isn't beating Hinata, because Hinata will see it coming and her faster arm speed will counter.
Sakura has more chakra the Hinata does includin byakugo and that makes her stamina higher but Hubert's is more potent.
No, Sakura does not have access to all of the YS Chakra. This was shown twice, once when Naruto died and again in The Last. Her reserves did not alter in the least. Yes, she can tap into it to replenish her reserves, but not INCREASE it beyond what it initally was.
Yet, later, we still see her use a massive amount of Chakra to help save Sasuke. This means that, despite her Chakra levels being greater than a Rikudo Naruto Shadow Clone’s levels, Sakura does not have access to ALL of the Chakra in her seal whenever she pleases, akin to how Naruto does not have access to all the Chakra of the Nine Tails in Part 1, though she can still transfer it to others, likely because, like Madara with Kaguya, her body is unable to handle so much Chakra actually being in her system and instead she must rely on extracting small amounts from the seal, amounts that she herself can actually handle.
My point with the Yin Seal is that even if Sakura’s reserves surpass even Kaguya’s and Madara’s combined, it means nothing when her body can’t handle all that Chakra, as if it could, she’d be using it. Yet we see in the Last that it takes her three whole days to replenish Naruto, after which she is burned out, while it takes Hinata no more than a second to replenish Naruto, after which she doesn’t show a shred of fatigue. Not to mention Hinata's Chakra is far more potent than even Bijuu Chakra.
Yin Seal does not in anyway affect the speed of the user. Tsunade, with her enormous reserves in her seal, was still being easily reacted to by Kabuto, who was able to react to her, the same guy even kid Naruto was fighting. So what? One of the Sannin had such horrible speed and reflexes that even with the seal she didn’t surpass Kabuto/Naruto?
Where do I even begin with this? One, Sakura didn't staegtize jack, she ran in like she always does without thinking ala Madara, and what Hinata did happened off screen, and surprise surprise, like with Pain, she acted at the last second after everything went to hell.
