It's difficult to gauge whether Dooku will tire and mess up before Kenobi does. Both of them appear to have a relatively equal amount of skill in their respective forms with neither form being advantageous over the other.
This is assuming both are robots which they're not.
When considering other factors Dooku is a master of Dun Moch which Kenobi has fallen for before. His combative skills may have matured to rival Dooku's, but not his overall mentality.
Throw in Tyranus's prowess with implementing kicks and such and I'd give him the win 8-9/10

Considering that's the form he's had the most experience with, I'm sure he'll do fine when he uses it to go on the offense. He didn't really change until TCW/RotS.
In sabers? In RotS? Not really.
Kenobi's Master had been Qui-Gon Jinn, Dooku's ownPadawan; Dooku had fenced Qui-Gon

millimeter more than was necessary, deflecting without effort, riposting with flickering strikes and stabs swifter than the tongue of a Garollian ghost viper, a

Dooku didn't expect Obi-Wan would improve his lightsabre skills. Dooku took it easy on Obi-Wan. That's why.

Because Kenobi doesn't know Ataru? You people act like he only knows Soresus, and that's it, despite him only switching to that style after TPM.

That's not what Grey was saying. Kenobi's reliance on ataru for attack won't work so well against Dooku who knows ataru inside out. There's a reason that when ROTS Kenobi attacked Dooku he was made "Limp".

Dooku making Kenobi "limp" has absolutely nothing to do with either's bladework so it's completely irrelevant to a sabers only discussion.
Not that allowing openings by which characters can land an unarmed hit that incapacitates you is unrelated to bladework.
