NB4 someone suggests Tiin could somehow give Krayt a good fight.

Cade Skywalker as-of Claws of the Dragon couldn't hold off armored Krayt for some time, and that's with Cade having completed both Jedi and Sith training.
Exactly. Cade as early as volume three could fight evenly with Sick Krayt for a time--And it was demonstrated that at said point he more or less only had a slight edge on Nihl or Talon.
Saesee Tiin is a member of the high council, and one of its most formidable warriors. He isn't getting stomped by Krayt in the latter's current condition.
What do you mean 'evenly for a time'? Krayt had the clear advantage. First page of clashing, he dueled past Cade's guard and pushed Cade in the face. Second page, they taunt each other a bit, saber locked... and Krayt gets annoyed and overpowers him, Cade's pushed off-balance the last panel of the second page, on his knees the first panel of the next.
That's not what an even fight looks like. Even though Krayt is only trying to capture him alive, he's dominating throughout, able to both get through Cade's guard and physically push Cade around. Cade's purely on the defensive and even there he's doing poorly.
I don't think Tiin's on Cade's level at that point, and Cade was getting stomped when Krayt wanted him alive.
You've been advocating this for some time, but it's really not true. They fought for a good couple pages, and Cade was (effectively) taunting him the entire time. Krayt won in the end, but they were pretty closely matched--And fighting him cost Krayt a lot due to his sickness, this was mentioned twice, he couldn't have kept it up for long.
Taunting him, pushed in the face, and forced to his knees. All the exchanges were one-sided, Cade was on the defensive and not very well. Just because it was three pages doesn't mean it was even. It's not one of those situations where there's implied even fighting, Cade was visibly being shoved around during that time.
And the page where most of the taunting happene, the second page, they weren't even clashing much. All they did during that page is talk, saber-lock, then have Krayt overwhelm the saber lock.
Note that the fight ended with Krayt taking a heavy blaster bolt to the back and even with *that* advantage, Cade just ran, and Krayt called him a fool while he ran. Cade even looked scared when he ran.
And one of the big points about the sickness taunting was it was a constant reminder that Krayt couldn't risk Cade dying.

Saesee Tiin is not on par with Darth Krayt.
