The tiger has a huge advantage here the tiger usuallys cuts jugular vein in one swipe. The tiger is smarter and strategies better.

Fight
A male lion named Simba was searching for food and spotted a male tiger named Shere Khan, feasting on his kill. Simba ran at the tiger and catched him off guard. Shere Khan was quick to recover and attempted a fatal neck bite, but Simba shook off the attack. Both combatants growl at each other and start scratching fiercely at each others faces. The two big cats slug it out like boxers but can't land a killer blow. Shere Khan leaped onto Simba and tried to end the battle with a fatal neck bite, but before he could do it, Simba hit him with his paw. Shere Khan retreated and then charged at Simba who knocked him to the ground and delivered a killing bite. Simba then roared in victory as he retained his crown as King of the Beasts.
