[Too close to dodge, Rude brings up his right arm to match the incoming blow.
He hadn't expected that much power behind that punch; rather than block, he should've attempted a grapple. An eyebrow twitches with irritation when he realises that he underestimated the force that Carter was bringing with him, and it's probably cost him at least a bruise.
But it's always important to keep one's cool. Keeping his emotions under check, he takes advantage again of the Carter's wider swing to deliver a succession of quick punches that start at Carter's torso and ends with a stronger hit to the chest.]
