I like this kid, he's very exciting to watch and he's got good power. He gets hit way too much for his own good but hopefully he can fix that with every fight but seing as he likes to brawl I doubt it.

lets hope he doesnt lol. id rather litzau stay a great entertainer and nothing more. he would never be a threat in the division anyway

I hope Jose Hernandez can pull off the win. He is from my hometown and I have been waiting for him to get a somewhat big fight.

HBO knows gatti is on his way out and he was a huge draw for them. so now they're picking up a carbon copy of a young arturo in jason litzau. good move by HBO.

i like litzau. everything i like about gatti is in litzau, too. but litzau hasnt had the wars gatti has yet.

Miranda fought Abraham Sept 23. It was a tough 12 round fight, but Miranda didn't get hurt so I am not surprised he is fighting this soon. When HBO calls out your name, it's not a good idea to say no!

I would love to see Miranda fight Pavlik next. After that, maybe Abraham's jaw will be healed enough for the rematch.

Should be a good fight for my boy Litzau, its nice to see a guy that you have been following since way back in the day, finally get his due and put on HBO. He is similiar to Gatti in many ways but I think went he wants to he can box a bit better than Arturo. And because of his frame and height he has more of a Tommy Hearns feel to him, much like my other boy Andy Lee.

And hey Pantera2000 Id love to see my man Duddy fight your boy down the line sometime soon, would make a great fight. Probably after a few more fights, the Middleweight division is seein some light at the end of the tunnel

if Jason gets a defence no one will beat him and he will be the featherweight champ for a while
