J-Rock implimented Lara's gameplan beautifully.

Basically, J-Rock copied Lara's blue print on beating Hurd, and Williams is a slightly bigger, far younger version of Lara and implemented it the way where Lara's older and smaller body cannot.

You gotta respect not only Williams and his ring I.Q but also Lara's. Everybody expected Lara to run away for a boring U.D but got ahead knowing Hurd will just catch him sooner or later.
