Jardine used the overhand right

almost exclusively, and set it up identically to how Rashad set his up. I even remember Jardine catching Chuck a couple of times with it, but obviously he didn’t catch him as well as Rashad did.

I have to assume that was a massive component of their gameplan. When Jardine/Rashad’s head falls over to the left so emphatically during the delivery of the overhand right, it leaves Chuck zero angles from which to attack. His only recourse was the uppercut timed perfectly and connected quicker than Rashad/Keith’s overhand.

Awesome planning, however it came to be.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Yeah

He baits him with the lean and angle to get Chuck to open. They also know Chuck will stand and swing rather than get in and out of the pocket at that point. Goddamn Rashad made him pay for that.
