But I saw a Male Sloth Bear in Taboba that was massive, Sloth Bear size is underestimated IMO.

Huge sloth bears were found in the past, so I see no reason to see big bears in these days.

Yes, the tiger looks massive although shorter. Maybe the double the size of the female bear or a little more. Even then, a bigger (and more decided) tiger will make a shorter work, even for such a defensive female.

"The only thing that saves the bear is the hair on the body, because tiger doesn't get a grip," Dr Andheria explains.

We've already seen Sloth Bears run off both Male and Female Tigers, let's not under appreciate the Bears abilities for the sake of a Tiger.
They live together and have been dealing with one another throughout history and a Bear doesn't use the advantage of numbers to warn him nor does he have the fleet footedness to avoid the Tiger, they obviously share a common place in the Hierarchy, a Tiger is an Apex predator and sits atop that Pyramid but a Bear isn't far and more often than not they seem to be level ground in terms of respect shared.
