That might help, but certain fighters are what they are. I'm having a hard time envisioning the amount of improvement that's gonna let him succeed at the elite level. His defense is just too damn open and sloppy and when he gets in the heat of it, i'll bet that's what he revert's to, Trainer or not. Perhaps I'm being a tad harsh, but thats driven by Litzau's attempt to play that win as a solid victory. Lucero's record is padded and he lost to almost every good/decent fighter he faced and had 1 draw. Lucero's best "wins"?/ 1 comes against a guy named John Lowey in the last fight of a 13 year career and frankie Archuleta who is more journeyman fodder. So, beating Lucero isnt something to hang you're hat on or be impressed with. Especially after Pac, periera, Ponce de leon, and juarez beat him in the last four years. Litzau beat a journeyman but there's a vast difference between that fighter and the Pac, JMM, Soto, Mab, Valero, and Guzman type fighters at the top. As he is?? Litzau poses little threat to any of those guy's IMO:good
I've seen his last several fights. He doesn't lack power; he does have halfway decent pop if nothing else going for him, but he was being hyped as a monster that he simply isn't, and was even drawing ridiculous unwarranted comparisons to Pacquiao.
