What I wouldn't allow is for him to lurk on the first round to see who goes when, and then 'jump in' when he likes. Simply declare that for this fight, he is using a lower Basic Speed of value X, and determine turn order normally from there.
This, all the way. You don't have to use your full move on a move maneuver. You don't have to use your full ST when you hit someone. So why should you have to use your full speed?
