My inner lexicon has failed me

[desperance]

I need a word I can reasonably use in a story: a word like "outweigh" but meaning "outpower", in the way that a healthy tiger would outpower a healthy man, pound for pound and many times over. "Outpower" is legitimate, I find, but ugly. And I can't think of a synonym, and the internet is not being helpful (except in the way of making me giggle: whatever common source it is that online dictionaries look to, they are all being supplied with "overpover" instead of "overpower" - which is not what I want, before you offer it, but "overpover" will make me giggle every time).

If you were talking about humans, you could say "out-punch" and "out-fight" if this is in the context of physical combat or struggle. You may need a coinage, but you'll have to find the word for muscle power and strength of fight that you're looking for. Possibly in boxing and fight reportage...?
