Ekrixinatosaurus novasi
Ekrixinatosaurus (Explosion-Born Reptile) is a genus of dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous. It was a theropod believed to be one of the abelisaurs. Its fossils have been found in Argentina. The type species, Ekrixinatosaurus novasi, was first described in 2004 by Argentinian paleontologist Jorge Calvo, and Chilean paleontologists David Rubilar-Rogers and Karen Moreno. Ekrixinatosaurus is perhaps the largest abelisaurid known to date, estimated as 10 to 11 metres (33 to 36 ft) long. Most recently, a 2016 study again found Ekrixinatosaurus novasi to be smaller (7.4 m) than Carnotaurus (7.8 m). It was also particularly robust and had a relatively large head, suggesting that it was a powerful predator or scavenger, able to scare other predators away from their kills.

Suchomimus tenerensis
Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") is a genus of large spinosaurid dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived between 121–112 million years ago, during the late Aptian stage of the Cretaceous period in Africa. Unlike most giant theropods, Suchomimus had a very long, low snout and narrow jaws studded with some 100 teeth, not very sharp and curving slightly backward. The tip of the snout was enlarged and carried a "rosette" of longer teeth. The animal is reminiscent of crocodilians that eat mainly fish, such as the living gharial, a type of large crocodile with a very long, slim snout, from the region of India. Suchomimus also had a tall extension of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more exaggerated form in Spinosaurus. The length of the type specimen of Suchomimus, a subadult, was initially estimated at 10.3–11 m (34–36 ft). Its weight was estimated at between 2.7 and 5.2 tonnes (2.7 and 5.1 long tons; 3.0 and 5.7 short tons). In 2010, Gregory S. Paul gave lower estimations of 9.5 metres and 2.5 tonnes. The overall impression is of a massive and powerful creature that ate fish and presumably other sorts of meat (carrion, if naught else) more than 100 million years ago, when the Sahara was a lush, swampy habitat.

I am sure that a 11m Ekrixinatosaurus would be Heavier than 11m Suchomimus
No, suchomimus was heavier,taller and had more weapons.

mismatch. Suchomimus looses to trex.
Trex loses to Ekr
No, suchomimus has more weapons and is taller than t Rex so it wins. T Rex would beat that abelisaur so suchomimus wins.

Are you serious ??. T rex crushes Ekr with ease, even a kid can understand this lol lol lol
A kid, yes, but not a sensible dinosaur fan...it would be a hell of a fight, not a mismatch

what a ridiculous reasoning

is there anything else to support ekrixinatosaurus winning over T. rex?

it can help, but is there a source that states it was really taller? And why should T. rex always necessarly have the deadlier bite? really, that´s annoying!

Actually, ekrixinatosaurus wasn't really 10-11 m long, that is just an exaggeration.

If you scale from its closest relative, skorpiovenator, then ekrixinatosaurus would really only be around 7-9 m long, which is no larger than carnotaurus.

Suchomimus has far too much of a size advantage.
