    Only about a week and still no opponent? Guess it will be another bum. Makes it hard to evaluate.

    Looks to be on the card with Berto-Zaveck. HBO.

    Well opponents may be chickening out.
    And it sure seems that HBO is pushing him.

    Well I said above, that viewing other fights of his, he is extremely fast. This vid though appears to be sped up/doctored. It is different and strange.

    there's definitely something going on with the frame rate in that vid.

    The vid isnt sped up, just the frame rate looks a little weird because of the small vid size. Its a HD video...try watching it on YouTube, at 1080p and full screen the vid, it looks better.

    And yea...he is that fast. I saw the fight highlights on TV when they replayed it.

    Definitely not sped up. Many of us on this forum have hands that fast. The difference is he throws his punches properly with power rather than arm punches.

    I don't believe it's sped up. He's a trained Olympic level athlete. Berto is that fast too.

    Yeah, that makes sense. With HD videos having a higher frame rate, things look "hyper realistic" and probably faster than the traditional frame rate we're used to watching vids at over the years (24fps, I think?)

    Another way of saying it's sped up.

    this is a total joke.

    Some of us are extremely fast ourselves, but know alteration when we see it. And it's not just hands, as I wrote above

    The "tape" is running fast.
    Watch some other film of him.
    Very fast, but human, unlike here.
