He was back up and already on his way back to the fight in three panels. If it was a boxing match the ref wouldn't have reached a ten count. And just what per say are you using to come to your conclusion that he blitzed Adam at the speed of light? What on panel evidence led you to draw that conclusion.
He held off Ares, Iron Man and Wonder Man for a handful of seconds. Any top tier brick could do that. Hulk held off the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Mighty Avengers, New Avengers, Young Avengers and Agents of Atlas at the same time for several pages. Briefly fighting a group of people isn't the same as winning. Sentry showed up and effortless pummeled Adam. Adam managed to bfr Sentry for a handful of pages. Sentry came back and knocked him out. What else is there to talk about? What about that showing suggest Blue Marvel could match Count Nef?
Are you referring to the Savage Hulk? If so WW Hulk era Hulk was superior to Savage by a good deal. We saw this by comparioson when he defeated Rulk while he was still actively using his Loeb era powers of absorption, which is the same era Rulk that crashed the Savage Hulk's boards several times.
If you're arguing the amount of time that Sentry was out then you are correct, but this still does not mean that he was not KO'd because he was, it certainly did not put him out for a full 10 count, but the blow put him out, and if this was a one on one, where Adam flew in after the very brief KO, and began hammering him MMA style, until a ref pulled them apart, Sentry would have taken a hell of a beating, and would have been out even longer.
I really meant that Sentry later attacks Adam without Adam being aware of the Sentry flying back in, and punching him while he was fighting the Avengers. So this is my idea of a blitz. Perhaps you were thinking that I was saying that he hit him with a mutli hit combo type blitz. This was not what I meant. All the same it was a sneak attack, at great speed that took the wind out of Adam's sails. TBH I could see such an attack taking the wind out of Nefaria's sails as well.
