In response to your P.S.: I know they do, but there would be too much mass and momentum stacked against him. If Vos and Sev were the same size and weight, slowing the blow enough to matter would be a feasible option given Vos' level of burst strength, as you call it, but with such a large discrepancy in mass and strength it wouldn't be enough to matter.

It's like that fight in Fearless between Jet Li and the american wrestler. None of his short punches did anything at all to the guy. He had to build more momentum and hit weak points in order to take him down.
