Been reading up on these two - any thoughts on this match up? Will Litzau flake out like he has done in the past or finally get a belt around his waist?
I think that litzau will punish Kimbrough knock him down several times and Kimbrough's corner will have to step in around the 3rd round and stop it. :yep
Litzau's style is predicated on a kind of arrogance. He depends on having a much higher degree of athleticism than his opponents. If it comes down to fundamental boxing vs. an equally athletic opponent or an opponent with savvy, skill and timing Litzau will be starched everytime. If Litzau could get his hands on some Balco Mojo he would have a much better chance but as it is I anticipate Litzau being starched everytime he steps up, unless he actually uses sound basic boxing, basically fight like a Manny Steward fighter.
I agree, but then he wouldn't be litzau. his style is undoubtedly predicated upon arrogant superiority, but he has a respectable toughness as well, and he's flashy.
