    It was absolutely true about this fight. Also two fights before that in the amateur bout where the taller fighter lost in a very close bout. If you didn't see this fight as Figueroa being the smaller man trying to get in and do work and Holloway needing to move and use his height then I'm not sure what you were watching. It's unfortunate that tall vs short may be a repetitve theme in boxing but it is a reality nonetheless, and an interesting one IMO. He's calling the fight, what the hell else is he supposed to talk about.

        I'm not saying it isn't true, but there ARE other things to talk about. Listen to Jim Watt, Manny Steward, Antonio Tarver and other color commentators, and hear what they say.

          Litzau looks perplexed for some reason, jab him up on the outside and straight right the guy when he tries to bum rush you

Some guys that you might watch personally and know and follow their careers, then a few years later they are standing by the ring watching others because of health problems. I hope it was just a thing, like maybe he did not get enough sleep last night or something.

            By the way, is that Atmosphere in your avatar?
            Yup, what's crazy is that he was at one of amatuer events in like June, and they had an honors for him and when he was talking I couldn't tell of any speech impairment, but then again he was speaking through a microphone in which it probably muffled his voice.

            And yup, that's Atmosphere. I'm pretty much a Minnesota everything kind of guy.

              The last fight was horrible and this one isn't looking too good right now, shame.

                Litzau looked a lot better in his last fight. I wonder what's wrong?

                    Atmosphere is sick!!

                    Litzau seems like something is wrong, he looked much better the last time I saw him.
