Actually, I've seen on more occasions than one a Kickboxer kick with enough speed to counter a punch. Here's an exercise: find a good kicker, stand at fighting positions at a relatively good position where you can just about reach each other. See if you can see his kicks faster, or his hands. Chances are you will see his hands because they are up higher, even though they are faster.
i agree its got to do with the range of your vision and what your opponent is expecting. most street fighter i know always look to the upper body to expect punches so the kick would catch them off guard.

but overall i would have to agree with bri thai more. because even if the street fighter is not expecting it guess what their reflexion is. thats right to grab the leg it happens every time when i fight in the street. thats why i try to avoid high kicks. they are pretty much useless and their not even flashy to me. but that might be because i am a b-boy. its all got to do with balance. not to mention the style to most likely use those types of kicks are TKD and TKD fighters leave their hands down like idiots.

Suprisingly, punching will not work, because as we know, our heads are higher up and people will see punches coming, but not a kick from down below.
