He was my instructor at the Broward Police Academy in 2000. We had to privilege of having him toss us around on a daily basis for 5 months. He was blazingly quick with his hands and his feet.
Lol u know he was heavy weight champion back in the day n I agree he doesn’t look fast but he trained the Broward Sheriffs office in self defense n I can tell u first hand he is lightning quick!
Not saying I could beat Joe Hess, but if I see I am up against someone that fat, my strategy is going to be to dodge and parry until he is worn out, which I don't think would take long. I actually believe that a fast guy with a bit of endurance could kill someone that heavy via heart attack in a few minutes. Just don't let the big 'un catch you early on when he still has energy combined with enormous strength.
Casey Vee, you must be young and incredibly naive. On his WORST day, Joe Hess would put you in the hospital, even at his age and weight now. You don't have a clue.
