I completely agree that we don't know the parameters of the fight so we cannot outrightly say which dinosaur would walk out the victor but the theoretical view would strongly favour the I Rex in size, strength, ferocity; but that doesn't mean it would necessarily win.

1. Rexy is indeed a very capable ambush predator although in regard to how the big one and her subordinate were dispatched it is odd that the tremors are not apparent considering the appearance of T Rex is usually heralded by this but another T Rex did manage to get into the InGen camp unnoticed which could be a significant advantage in Rexy's favour though I Rex's own DNA mix contains a number of carnivores that can exhibit similar traits so how much of an advantage it would be remains to be seen.

2. Agreed, but I Rex also exhibits this quality they both are very aggressive from what we know and can observe at the present.

3. The battlefield is a significant factor but I Rex although bigger I don't think is significantly bigger and it is also capable of lowering its body as we can see when it moves toward the ACU soldier trying to shoot it very unsuccessfully so I'm not so sure T Rex could get through something the I Rex couldn't follow.

4. I do agree we don't know much about I Rex. There are some things though whilst I agree about the sibling that was eaten my personal view is that the sibling was younger so wasn't going to pose much of a threat but we can't know until the film comes out so I completely agree there. The I Rex does kill at least five Apatosaurs supposedly for sport along with an ACU team so we know that humans are not a problem but also despite her attacking herbivores that are bigger than her this by no means makes it certain she would not attack a large carnivore. As for the helicopter this is the only point I don't agree with here as yes we do see her flee from it as it fires upon her even Rexy would likely run from that but the Indominus goes to the aviary, something I don't think Rexy would do, and it frees the Pterosaurs which in turn takes down the helicopter (at least this is strongly implied by the trailers and those involved) maybe she might try and utilise her Pterosaur footsoldiers against Rexy while Owen tries to get the Velociraptors to help Rexy.

5. This is most likely going to be the deciding factor all we can infer from the trailers and TV spots is that Rexy is in decent shape as it seems Claire is going to lure her out to combat the I Rex whilst I Rex must have some wounds from her rampage but how bad they may be is yet to be revealed. Rexy also has prior experiance in fighting other carnivores such as the big one but equally we do not know how she would cope against a large carnivore as we have not seen her do so. As for Rexy going for any existing wounds I agree that and the I Rex's throat are going to be the main target areas for Rexy but Rexy does have old wounds as we've seen on her concept art she still has the scars given to her by the big one and so maybe the I Rex will equally target those areas as who knows Rexy may have some lasting problems we don't know about.

6. True the supposed restricted section of Isla Nublar could house some terrifying inhabitants that Rexy could get help from but the likelihood of her sharing her pen is more than unlikely as unless there is an infant T Rex Rexy will not tolerate a male Tyrannosaur in her territory and even after several months with the infant in tow she would also not allow this plus maybe Dr Wu wants to regulate the reproduction cycles of the animals but who knows.

In the end I think it will be a good fight but I do think Rexy will need some extra help to take down the I Rex for good.

Spinosaurus999 thats a good point but I don't think it would be that easy to get the bite in to begin with though if Rexy managed it then I don't see why she wouldn't finish off I Rex in that manner.
