Listen to the commentary. They say Azula was slipping on that fight with Zuko then - she was just starting to slip. This is made apparent by her whole-hearted madness against him with celebrating becoming an only child.

And as I added - It is not simply that Katara is the plain better, it is her fighting style that allows her to dominate Azula. Katara is a master, yes, and very powerful, but it doesn't mean she's better than all. It's simply that her fighting technique and style allows her to take advantage of Azula's habits during fights.... it's all about the techniques and fighting nuances of the characters.

Sigh, I guess it's a difficult concept to grasp, hard as I attempt to explain it. Yes, Katara can defeat Azula 1vs1. And 1vs1 Aang loses to Azula, really, most every time. Zuko 1vs1 lost to her nonstop until he learned the true form of firebending; giving him an edge to be on stable-grounds with her. Note: He changed his fighting technique, NOT changing that he was a good firebender before, either. He clearly began to fight differently after that, being more defense and conscious of the techniques he uses, rather than all-out aggression as was seen prior.

It's all about the technique and application of their skill, not how truly powerful they are or are not.
