In the novels, Q and As, and interviews, Leafa, Kirito and Reki Kawahara himself states that her reaction speed is greater than his and that the only plausible way Kirito could win a duel against her is with the stat boost from Excalibur and that's said to still be uncertain. There's also the fact that Yuuki unambiguously beat him in the tournament. And no, he didn't hold back on her or lose because of a time limit in the novel, no matter how much fanboys/girls claim it. Get over it.
