    Gushiken was a beast offensively when he let his hands go.

    His jab wasn't much of a weapon, in my opinion. More of a range finder than a point-scorer/stunner. Served its purpose, though. Hardly stand-out among his other attributes, though. He was one of the best mid-range fighters in Flyweight history; dazzling combinations, deft blend of offensive and defensive maneuvers, angles, etc.
