Size matters here: a typical adult Alligator weighs about 200 kg (441 lb), roughly 1.8× the Bull Shark's 111 kg.
The Bull Shark's best chance is its stamina (69 vs 40), plus abilities like Riverbreaker Osmoregulation and Serrated Power Bite. This one is close enough that terrain, first contact and motivation could flip it.
Reality check: these two would never meet. The Bull Shark lives in water, so this verdict is a neutral "stat fight". In deep water the Bull Shark would hold every advantage; on dry land it could not fight at all.
