Question about Jaguar Cichlids?

How would a 16" Jag Cichlid beat a 17" Black Piranha, because Jag's usually lock lips when fighting, but the Black Piranha has all them sharp teeth, so how will the Jag lock up? Also, both fish are very intolerant, so if they come right at each other, how will the Jag avoid those teeth and take out the B. Piranha for good. Especially if the Piranha has that one inch on the Jag. This is at both full grown. I'm also talking about the aggressive piranha (Black), not Rbp's. Everyone says Jag's will win. I want your take on the strategy of the Jag in this fight?

    I'd bet on the territorial cichlid every time. Piranha bite when they're hungry, and mostly they eat fins. The cichlid defends a territory, beats the bejabbers out of anything that won't leave it's sight.

    The jaguar is stronger, way stronger. I'd say the piranha bites the jaguar with its small mouth and the jaguar rams the hell out of him.
