HBO tripleheader: Marquez vs. Katsidis, Berto vs. Hernandez, Cabellero vs. Litzau RBR

Round 5

Litzau is standing in front of Caballero and mimicking him with his chin straight up and his upper body leaned back slightly. Caballero is annoyed and throws a few impassioned hooks to the body. Litzau is trying to lift his left hand into the jabbing lane but winds up having Caballero step under it and into a headlock. Cortez is good at breaking the clinches, since neither man is effectively infighting. Litzau is banging hard as Caballero ducks, hitting the back of his neck and forcing him to retreat and get nailed with a right hand flush on the face. Caballero lands a combination walking forward but they tie up. Litzau again clubs away resulting in unintentional rabbit punches with Caballero's ducking. Litzau lands an unintentional low blow and then a flush left hook. Caballero is getting smacked by long right hands as he straightens up after ducking on his way out of the inside exchanges.

10-9 Litzau

48-47 Caballero

 

Yeah. Admire him for his heart, sure. Acknowledge that he's got a bit of pop, fine. The dude who called Litzau a technician...I just don't know what performance he could possibly have been basing that off of. :conf
