Keeping Chuck down is no joke. But, Rashad has as good a chance as anyone. He's got great base, great standup, especially against a good boxer like Chuck. If Rashad can hold Chuck down, Chuck is in a world of trouble.
Personally, I think Chuck will get his pokes in and Rashad will have to weather an early storm. I don't think Rashad can get an early takedown and will have to bide his time, counterpunching without getting knocked out. Maybe late in the first round, if he's still conscious, he can try for a takedown and Chuck might have gassed himself a bit enough to have a chance. But Rashad will have to get some solid hits on Chuck to set up the takedown. I think he can do it. But, Chuck will not go down easily.
