This reminds me of a thread at Supra forums that lasted a while about which animal would win what...It started out as a great white gets eaten by killer whale and it escalated from there.
Round 1 on land - tiger win by knock-out
Round 2 in water - croc wins by TKO (i.e. death)

Not at all surprised, when man can wrestle with crocs and come up alive, of course a wild preditory animal like a tiger with even faster reaction times and that kind of strength. Well that says it all. There must not have been a body of water close by because I would've suspected the croc to run like hell into the water once he got any sense of a tiger. Oh yeah, crocs can run quickly for small distances.

If they chase you on land, you're supposed to run zig-zag style...although in the ensuing panic, I doubt anybody but a seasoned croc handler will remember this.

That is the most contrived piece of crapumentary I have ever seen. 
There is barely a remote chance that either a tiger or crocodile would meet in the wild like that. I'd imagine there is an even smaller chance that some yokel would be there to video tape it.
Most "nature documentaries" are entirely staged (a drugged gazelle is dropped in front of hungry lions, or a worm is placed in front of a frog) because the odds of witnessing a kill in the wild is relatively low. Typically, this is done under the guise of education. . . but that video is pure sensationalism. "Fear the tiger!"
Man isn't "safe" from the vicious tiger? Give me a break. I can't believe someone funded this crap.
