The comics call it "radar sense." It's very much a way to see, in addition to the other things he can do. The comments Stick makes regarding being able to smell and taste the individual ingredients in things like ice cream are telling, or when Matt says he can tell someone rinsed their hair from his faucet - he can tell the individual differences in what scents come from his pipes in comparison to others. Same thing with his level of hearing, his sense of touch (in the comics, he can feel the ink on a page to read in some scenarios), etc. For him to be able to fight the way he does with the skills he has is a true representation, as is the exhaustion one would likely feel in such a fight. As for some of the hits he takes and being able to get back up, that's more the character than reality, same as Fisk (who in the comics is 98% muscle mass, for reference sake).
