See what Litzau did to Merchant at the end of the fight? That's why I consider him an annoying dumbass.

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! That's Minnesota representing right there. Caballero has never fought a tall guy like that before and Jason has better skills than most give him credit for. These boxing writers prolly only seen him fight on ESPN a couple times or seen him against Guerrero. They assumed he wouldn't get better, but he'll keep proving the haters wrong. 10 or 13 to 1 is a disgrace for this fight, but so be it. Congrats to Jason Litzau, keep representing St. Paul to the fullest, everybody will always be behind you. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Snoop, I get why people don't like Litzau too. He has that cocky attitude at times, and seems like a douche on the surface at times. In fact, in April 09 he was booed at the Target Center in his post fight interview. However, he works really hard and is a good guy. I've met him a couple times, and he's always been accomodating to me and all my buddies. This is a great night for Minnesota boxing, and gives the state a huge boost. I've heard a lot of great things about Jason getting so much more focused the last couple years, and giving everything he has to boxing. It's working out so far, and hopefully he'll keep the momentum rolling.

Congrats Kyle! That's what happens when someone(Caballero) underestimates their opponent and does not train properly.

Caballero fought like a guy with a 7-2 record or something. So damn sloppy. No one would believe that guy is a top level fighter if they were seeing him for the first time and couldn't hear the commentary.

Did anyone see Larry Merchant give Litzau two thumbs down when Litzau approached him ringside? I thought that was classless on Larry's part.

And it wasn't classless for Litzau to hang through the ropes like an idiot while Merchant was in the middle of broadcast? |

I like Litzau, coming up from an impoverished family, both parents were apparent drug addicts and he was homeless at one time...he deserves every bit of recognition and praise for this fight and for his last win over Juarez as well.....but with that being said, at 27 years old the kid is clearly showing signs of brain damage. He's punch drunk as fuck i don't even think Gatti was THAT punch drunk at that point in his career. I'd like to see litzau win a world title, get a few big paydays and retire within the next couple years. he shouldn't continue putting his health and longevity on the line and definitely doesn't need to end up like Ali or Roach or suffer dementia by the time he's middle aged.

What's your definition of "train properly"? Are you saying that because you know he wasn't taking the necessary steps in training, skipping days, etc. or are you just saying that simply because that's what Merchant kept saying during the broadcast? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dntknw.gif) Personally, I just attribute it to a case of a guy moving up in weight one too many times. In my opinion, Caballero has ALWAYS looked somewhat sloppy and awkward...kind of like Antonio Tarver. The difference in this fight is simply that he was fighting a guy with some decent skills who could take his punch with no problem at all. Caballero just ain't hitting that hard at 130, so without the advantage, Litzau was able to hang with him. That's what's SUPPOSED to happen when a guy moves up 3 or 4 weight classes...they lose that pop and become a little more average....kind of like Mosley moving up to 154. Somehow, however, Pacquiao has been the exception to the rule. Go figure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That is all. Carry on. |
