That's what his bosom buddies at ESPN keep saying. What opponent with demonstrated punch resistance has he hurt?
This was a very poor FNF and they threw Litzau a doughnut:good I was extremely disgusted with Litzau's comments who tried act as if this wasnt a BUM. I mean for christ's sake, it was a midget with no chin fighting a 5, 10 super featherweight!!! If , Litzau couldnt beat this guy and early as he did? It would be pathetic and indicate that he's nothing more than journeyman fodder. The more I watch the "American Boy"?? The more that's my opinion of what he is, even with the win last night. Litzau will get beat and likely KO'd by the likes of Pacquiao, JMM, Soto, MAB, Valero, Guzman, Barrios. He's been less and less impressive with each outing rather than the reverse. As he ages and goes up in weight?? My prognosis gets even worse. Also?? Anyone else notice the occasional slurring in his speech?? It's not terrible yet, but the fact that it exists at his age, isnt sending any fuzzy feelings about what's gonna be left when the career is KAPUT:good
Litzau has alot going for him. He is very tall , with a long reach, handspeed, and punching power. Litzau has everything but a solid chin. I think can he be quite difficult to beat when he uses his size and speed on the outside ,despite his chin woes.
Eh, the other guy was obviously scared stiff from the onset. He spent most of the first running and ducking and hiding, and dropped to a knee from a series of glancing shots. He then came out and threw one big flurry of offense where it looked like he was just going for broke in hopes of landing something big, it didn't work, he went back to running and ducking, and then he dropped from a right to the temple and had terrible body language after getting up, prompting the ref to stop the fight.
Don't worry people - as soon as Litzau fights ANYONE even halfway decent, he will get knocked out cold, again. When they made up the phrase "he's a KO waiting to happen," they had guys like Litzau in mind!!
What Litzau needs is a REAL trainer. Until he get's someone who can stick him to some kind of fundamental defense he'll always be open to take shots. You guys are way too damn hard on the kid though.
I agree with you, but the thing is people don't like Litzau to the point where alot don't like to give him credit for anything. I think right now he's more overhated than overrated. I look forward to seeing who they put in there next against him.
Lucero's a quitter...plain simple. He did the exact same thing against Pac that he did against Litzau. He turned his head away ( a no no in boxing) and basically did the 'no mas' sign. Kinda tarnishes Pac's victory but oh well. The funniest thing about this fight was that the fight was the guest commentary by Bill freakin' Walton. You know, the Larry Merchant of the NBA.
You can't train a chin. There ain't a trainer in the world that can change china into granite! And this over-hyped, glass-jawed ****-talker deserves EVERY bit of criticism he gets.:yep
