    Man Oh Man (spoiler)

    Litzau KTFO.

    I saw that coming with the right hand towards the end of the 7th. Litzau stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes didn't look right, then he slowed down and had nothing on his punches. I was screaming all the way through the 8th for Hernandez to jump on him.

    I have no real reason, but I've never liked Litzau.

    What a fight. What a punch!

    Foolish is all I could say. I knew he'd come back after the 1st. I said it. But I didn't know he'd just try for the ko AND leave himself open the entire rest of the fight. I knew he'd try to ko the guy, but that defense will get him KO'd on espn in the future.

      What a prick Lampley is. He makes it sound as if it was lucky punch by Hernandez. It was set up by the straight right in the 7th you ****** prick.

        Lampley said some ****** stuff. But so did Lewis. I thought Kellerman really redeemed himself after what he said after the Marquez fight.

          I tend to tune out Lewis. He's like a ******ed George Foreman as a color commentator.

            I never really bought into the hype surrounding Litzau. I thought he was a good fighter but nothing to marvel at. I think the fact that he was an unbeaten white fighter had a lot to do with his following, similar to Gerry Cooney back in the day. Good fighter yes but championship material? I doubt it.

            I don't know why Litzau's trainer even bothers, he takes directions about as well as Stevie Wonder paints portraits.

              I've seen Litzau fight like 4 or 5 times on ESPN, if the kid had a good chin he could've been a great boxer, he was almost knocked out in one of his fights on ESPN. He def has good skills but his chin is really weak, if he works on his defense which I think he can, he still can be good even with a bad chin.

                I loved how tonight blew up in HBO's faces.

                You know they were drooling at the prospect of grooming the next Gatti when he gets KTFO.At least Kellerman fessed up to it in the post fight interview when he told Hernandez "During the fight even I was telling the Jason Litzau story"

                Both he and cheerleader Lampley were,and then BOOM,thanks Hernandez,you made my day.

                  It's not really a weak chin. He was a little off balance in the first round when he went down, and it was a good right hand.
                  He lunged into that straight right in the 7th and still managed to last nearly a full round without his legs under him before he got clocked.

                  It's his complete lack of defence that kils him. He believes too much in his power. I might start to like him as a fighter if he learns a lesson from this.

                    Litzau is a good fighter but is a bit overrated. I think with a better corner and going back to basics he can do some damage. He fought the wrong fight that's for sure, he has good boxing ability and didn't use it, but he's still developing, I think he'll be back.
