he was damn fast, so fast in fact that most of his opponents didnt remember what punch he got them with. lightining hand speed.

i guess you could compare him to ray leonard

Probably the fastest fighter I've ever seen. Atleast when he threw flurries. My god those flurries would come from the smallest position and he'd fire like 6 uppercuts into the other guy's stomach and then follow it up with combos to the head.

His hand and footspeed were as fast as almost everyone I've ever seen.

Fighters rarely know or see the the one that got them in any KO against anyone , if you can see it coming and still get KOed you best retire .

If you want to go to the trouble you can time a fighters speed if you have video footage its not to the millisecond but its down to 1/29th of a second which is pretty close for the exercise .

Dude threw fast but had so much power behind it. He didn't even need to go back and bring all the power threw. He would hit u with combos from short distance and ko u

Lightning fast, almost Bruce Lee standard.
