Bastila takes him. Malak himself admits that Bastila is stronger than Bandon. And you have to be very good to be second in an Empire of thousands of Sith, damn good.Bastila was also considered powerful enough to, at the very least, stand a chance against Revan, even though she is a padawan.

Noep, Tyranus was under orders to lose to Anakin. He just didn't exactly lose with style.
He could've never expected Anakin to beat him without getting something chopped wich usually is the result of being 'beaten.'

Ah, Overlord, you are wrong. The word of George Lucas says otherwise:
"Dooku was pretty much ordered to lose to Anakin by Palpatine."
Secondly, do you really think that a twenty something knight could defeat someone who mastered a style of ombat specifically designed for lightsabre combat? Do you really think that the fact that Dooku is not only sixty years his senior, far more powerful in the force and was effectively able to kick Anakin out of the way, several metres and then summilarily toss Obi-Wan across the room like a ragdoll will not contribute to his victory?
Dooku has sixty years of extra training than Anakin, he has knowledge of the darkside and the lightside. Not only that, he is not hindered by the Jedi Code, he can and will use aggressive powers Whilst Anakin is a more aggressive Jedi than most, Anakin is still limited by the code and will not try and choke Tyranus or otherwise.
That is why Tyranus, in my opinion, would win.
But wait maybe when Tyrannus toyed with Anakin about not harnessing his anger maybe thats what tuned him out to defeat Duku. Cause i seriously doubt Duku would die for anyone when he doesn't give a shit. Thats off the record.
But look at it form Duku's point of view he did the wrong thing made Anakin angry and he isnt strong enough to control his anger so he used it and defeated Duku. Thats all I'm saying is maybe Duku wan't all he's cracked up to be maybe he lost some skill alone the way of aging. Now I'm not saying its true but there has to be some explanation to why he was defeated so quick and easily

No, Tyranus was toying with Anakin. Pure psychology. The way Dooku tells him about his anger, the way he says it, is pure playing.
Not only that, why didn't he just toss Anakin across the room like Obi-Wan?
