Its fights like these that make you slap yourself in the face for not laying a bet. The writing was on the wall, which makes it worse. A guy coming up in weight, that has very sloppy footwork, fighting a guy that was hungry and has had some good fundamentals and pop in the past. ****, it woulda been nice to lay some down on this fight.

Litzau deserves lots of credit. He beat a man very few people felt he could beat.Last edited by Heeb; 11-28-2010, 05:22 PM.Comment

The only apology I am making is to myself for not putting at least 10 bucks on the kid at 13-1...
My thoughts:
Seeing Litzau win that fight was one of the happiest moments for me as a boxing fan in awhile.
For starters I've always felt bad for Litzau, the kid had a tough life and he's a good fighter that has run into some tough breaks. He has always been a little bit of an underachiever who relied on his physical gifts to beat up inferior opponents.
Well in his last 2 fight we have seen Litzau go from an underchiever to an overachiever and that's a beautiful thing in this sport.
Litzau was expected to lose, people were quick to call him a bum when the fight was announced and he came in and pissed in the punch bowl.
His performance was all the more impressive when contrasted by the disgraceful showing of Celestino Caballero. Now that was an unprofessional effort that he put forth and he should be ashamed.
Say what you want about Litzau, he isn't world class talent wise, but he's got a world class heart and has persevered through some serious setbacks. I hope they put a rematch together and Litzau finishes what he started... when he watches the video he will see that he could have KO'd Caballero had he a little more faith in himself.Comment

Yeah, definite respect to Litzau....at 13-1 underdog would have loved to have bet on him. His history of showing a weak chin, stamina issues, piss poor decision making I was sure he would use his boxing skill to make a couple rounds interesting and then get taken out. Props to the judges for actually giving the non house fighter a deserved win.Comment

I thought Litzau was going to lose for sure.Comment

I was glad to see Litzau win Scully, he came into that fight very determined and who knows what was in Caba's mind going in but he started wilting more and more as the fight went on. It was visible in his facial and body language in that corner during the late rounds that he wanted this fight to be over. All of the credit in the world to Jason Litzau, 13-1 odds sounded absurdly onesided to me when I heard them say it.Comment

Bredeis Prescott was a 16-1 dog to Amir Khan.
I thought Litzau's corner did a great job, they gave him great advice and he followed it. Usually when a corner tells their fighter that the other guy wants to quit they are full of it but this time the corner saw something and did a good job impressing the fact on the fighter.Comment

[QUOTE=Eaner0919;9686374]sorry but this fight was misleading
he still got hit plenty from a guy who took this fight for granted and
[/B]
He got hit...because its a professional boxing match..he didnt get any more than a million other guys do..and greater fighters have gotten hit WAY MORE than he did...and Caballero took it for granted? THATS what we're going to with now? Someone suggested thats the reason and now everybody will just run with it and repeat it is fact????? How about the guy got beat by a better fighter?Comment

I love him for beating Juarez. I was sick and tired of watching Juarez on PPV undercards. For that I just love the guy. Caballero is good but coming into the fight I thought it would be competitive.Comment

I always thought that stringbean was being overrated. How the hell does he even come close to deserving JuanMaLo or the Cuban? What has he ever done? Beat midgets and Ponce De Leon - who I love, but doesn't deserve that title shot really either.Comment
