1. It is still a legitimate match-up Staged fights may gimp combatants in one way or another. They probably would not have wanted to show the jaguar losing; after all, the narration was clearly biased. I'm thinking this may be part of the reason as to why they never show cats losing to anything... Plus the anaconda clearly was not defending itself and only lunged twice or so, with no serious attempt of counterattack. Since this is a fight, showing the anaconda fleeing means nothing.

I doubt an anaconda can just simply crawl out unharmed after a jaguar bite. The jaguar alongside the tiger has the strongest bite of any big cat. If it can crack turtle shells then it can definitely take the wind out of a snake.
The anaconda can only win if it wraps around the jaguar early in the fight.
If the fight drags out, then as with the wolf, the jaguar's stamina wins the day.

In regards to absolutes, at average weights both the tiger and lion would be able to chomp down harder than a jaguar could because their skulls are of greater size and mass.. in canids at least it has been shown that there is a direct correlation between skull size/mass and bite force. it could be though that jag's teeth (like hyenas) are more sturdily constructed allowing them to exert forces needed to break into a tortoise shell.
Edit - my 500th post!

does anyone know which carnivore typically dominates when the two interact?
To my knowledge adults usually avoid each other but will take out younger individuals of each other's species.

The snake wont be unharmed but the massive wall of muscles surrounding most of its vitals ensure that bites in most areas wont be that severe

Jaguar wins. It's faster, more agile and more compact. And Jags have bitten through turtle shells before, so an anaconda shouldn't be much of a problem.

A relatively small burmese python can withstand a bite from a much larger alligator so I don't think the anaconda will suffer any serious consequences from a jaguar bite to the body.

I think it was on Crocodiles: Here be Dragons that a crocodile bit a wildebeest's rear end and the wildebeest escaped without serious harm.
BTW I believe there is an account somewhere where a leopard killed a rock python. Trying to find it.

The anaconda can wrap around the jaguar and once the anaconda coiled the jaguar it's good night Vienna for the jaguar
