In the upset of the night, super featherweight Jason Litzau scored a well-deserved split decision victory over Celestino Caballero. Although Caballero seemed to control the action early in the fight, Litzau weathered the storm and battled back, walking through everything that the Panamanian threw at him.
By the middle rounds, it was clear that Caballero was beginning to fade as the naturally bigger man continued to back him up and land the more telling shots. By the end, it was the fresher Litzau who closed the show on all three scorecards. Official judges scorecards were 97-93 (Litzau), 96-94 (Caballero), and 96-94 (Litzau).
After that gutsy performance against an opponent that several other fighters were hesitant to face, let's just hope that HBO does Litzau a favor and awards him with another appearance, or more importantly a decent payday, on their network.
