Litzau = Glass Joe

[Easy-E]

His chin isnt that bad, but its not that good either.
He showed that he can be ko'd with one punch and that is not a good sign.

Was it one punch?

He took numerous overhand rights in the fight because he kept exposing himself when he through his left hook. He should have just focused on jabbing, and shooting his own right which is pretty good.

He outboxed the guy silly, no question. But he is a brawler and wants to fight. The overhand right that clocked him didn't it land a little higher than just his chin, I thought it landed on the side of his head, anyway, it was an awkward punch at an odd angle you aren't likely to get hit with often.

The guy he was fighting had a really good chin, or Litzuas punching power is not as great as we thought (but I think it is pretty good). He was landing at will for a lot of the fight. But he wouldn't listen to his corner, that a sign of being young and inexperienced. They told him to stay outside and he had the fight in the bag, with his reach he could have put the guy away without exchanging at all. 5'10 and 126 pounds, that's a crazy frame.

I'm 5'10.5" and I am struggling to get to 147.

I don't think Litzau's chin was glass, but I agree with everyone who said it wasn't that great. More importantly, I think he was fighting ******ly. He was winning every round but the first, and he knew that, but he ignored his trainer and tried to brawl with hernandez.

Big mistake. Hernandez is tough as nails. He took big shots all night, I think he was staggered once, that's it. Litzau saw the danger of his big right hand the first time he got knocked down, and ignored it. I was actually rooting for Hernandez, especially after I saw the right uppercut/right hook that scored him that first knock down. I think that this loss is going to be helpful to Litzau. Something to keep him grounded.

All I gots to say about Litzau is despite his suspect chin he's got great mobility, fundamentals and rythym. He has a lot to learn but can one day maybe move up in weight and win a belt or two.

I think most of you misunderstood. I just happened to notice how much he LOOKS like glass joe. His suspect chin is just gravy.
