Fine control, Garrus has. The current chink in his armor is reaction time. He's still getting used to his new powers, and while his threat detection kicks in all on it's own, the energy constructs take conscious thought. They're not second nature to him yet, so he has to think. If he has a beat to react - if he sees the attack coming soon enough - that's not a problem.
But Rico is damn fast, fast enough that Garrus doesn't have the beat he needs to put a wall in between them. Instead, he throws his left arm down in a wide arc, trying to push the knee out of the way and absorb whatever impact he can't deflect.
Even then, Rico's knee hits hard enough to send a shock all the way up Garrus's arm - a flare of pain that makes the turian grit his teeth.
But Rico isn't the only one who's done this before. Rico hits hard - harder than Garrus was expecting, for sure - but not as hard as an angry Krogan. It's going to take more than some admittedly very painful deep bruising to take Garrus out of this.
So he keeps moving forward, and as he advances, he throws a hard kick at Rico's outside ankle - one with enough follow-through to take the Judge off his feet if he isn't careful.
