When he said he "couldn't keep up with it", he was acknowledging Ayato's speed and close-combat proficiency as technically superior so that he could make a point about Jason. But the subtext was that, while he can't keep up with it, he didn't have to. He can just absorb the damage, ignore the pain and counter attack at will since Ayato still didn't have the raw firepower to overwhelm Kaneki's regeneration.
