Jason Litzua.
Never regarded Caballero much but gotta love a 13-1 underdog.
I'm kicking myself for not betting on Litzau @ +750. I was gonna put $5 or $10 on him just for the hell of it.
Glad he won...always been a fan of his. He's been on a decent run as of late...Kimbrough, Edwards, Juarez and now Caballero. Hopefully he gets a title shot.
I found myself rooting for the kid because of the better than thou attitude of Caballero. I was very disappointed when I heard the first score card.Quote:

13-1 odds is ludicrous. especially when caballero is climbing up a division. funny thing is he even struggled to make weight.
I figured cab would beat the doo doo out of litzau. I didn't even really start paying attention till about the third. He for whatever reason just wouldn't throw enough real punches and wasn't hurting litzau at all really. Glad i didn't bet I woulda lost
Caba got outmuscled plain and simple.
Caba got exposed.Quote:

i remember listening to a boxing radio/or podcast 3 weeks ago and the hosts were saying that caballero would put a beatdown on juan ma lopez/ juan ma was avoiding this guy. ;D
i hope they saw this fight.
Sana lang 'wag maranasan ni nonito yung nangyari kay caballero. :-X
Anywayz. It was a terrific performance by Litzau. But ofcourse that fight alone don't make him an instant elite fighter.
yup got your point nonito is big for his weightclass;)Quote:

I totally agree Tito.Quote:

Thing is though even as bad as Caba performed and the horrible shape he came in Litzau did not walk over him when he should have....Litzau has zero chance against any of the other top FWTS.....Caba is and has been over rated for years now
I thought Litzau looked great. He said before the fight he's finally started strength and conditioning and he looked stronger, and faster than before.
HBO's commentary was terrible. They were saying Caba was ahead after 4 rounds. I thought Litzau dominated and only lost 3-4 rounds total. He stood in, out worked, out boxed, landed cleaner shots, looked stronger.
I don't know if Caba is overrated or just can't fight at this weight. Had nothing on his punches.
Caba is now a cab driver.
read somewhere that a caballero/litzau rematch is being negotiated. about the fight: kudos to litzau. i like this kid and was glad he was able to beat the very caballero. but if a rematch ever occurs, caballero is definitely going to take it. i'll still be pulling for litzau but what you saw last night was a 70% caballero. he's better than that. much better. but i think after that stinker he threw last night, he more than likely blew his chance at fighting juanma lopez or gamboa.
Whenever I read the name Litzau 2 things come to mind quickly....
The way Hernandez sparked him the fuck out and he's hyperactive.
I think Caballero is being written off too quickly.
People seem to forget that sometimes fighters have off nights.
Let's wait and see what he does on the comeback.
Caballero has a history of spotty performances and of fighting down to his level of opposition too.Quote:
