Listen...JASON LITZAU...everybody had him getting KO'd in this fight in less than 5 rounds...I'll give myself some credit and say that I have been saying for several years that Jason has the potential to beat the very top guys if he fought his fight, if he could ever REALLY put it together like those of us who have known since he was in the junior olympics knew he had the potential to do...last night he was in with the most dangerous opponent of his career and very very few gave him a chance...actually I dont recall seeing anyone actually say they wee betting on him to win (not that you didn't, I just didn't read it)...NOW that he has shocked so many people you have people saying Caballero didnt train etc etc....COME ON, dont do that...people always look to explain away something they didnt believe could happen...not fair to J at all...give the kid credit, he went in there with a guy EVERYBODY said was gonna kill him and he won, PERIOD...anyone???
My jaw dropped when they had him at 13-1 underdog. He is not the same fighter he was 3 years ago. Did they not see what he did against Juarez? Kid can box now. He is smart, he thinks in there, and he is only getting better.
I owe him a huge apology. He had not looked the same to me in his recent bouts and that KO loss to Hernandez was just brutal. I honestly thought he would never recover from that. Props to Litzau though, one of the nicest guys in the sport and a stand-up individual.
