Here's what I can say about him. He was always a slow starter. His early rounds he would sometimes even take punishment and lose the early rounds. Round 3 or 4 is when he got warmed up (his fights were usually 8 rounds and up). That made his fights even more exciting because some of them seemed like he was making a comeback and that added more drama.
He was known for his spinning back kick. He's dropped many fighters with it. Unlike most people that I've seen that have tried to apply this move, he had an excellent sense for when to apply it. He would use it in a combination rather than just walking up and throwing a spinning back kick (like fighters often do today). He also used a very tight spinning back kick and would throw it within very close range, usually punching range, which is rare. Usually fighters throw that move within long kicking range.
What I thought he was most skilled at was his timing. After he got warmed up, the timing of his moves was very good. He seemed to stun fighters in their tracks with counter punches and use that to setup his combinations. He seemed to read fighters timing very well. That is my observation of his fighting ability. That, and he could take a punch very well, which helped him get through the early rounds.
