Did you see Jason Litzau get KTFO?!

Here's the thing...Litzau was there to be stopped...period.

Surprised that he was stopped by Hernandez though.

Wacko what do you mean "was there to be stopped"?
Are you saying this kid is no good

I think he be back, just needs to tighten up the screws a tad, change the oil, the kid will be good for another few hundred miles.

I'm saying he's got some of the same issues that Kessler has.

Lots of power but a little bit of stupidity to go with it.

Watch Litzau fight...he cracks & then drops his hands by his waist. Kessler does the same thing...most power punchers do...but Kess is really really guilty of it.

That being said...I've only seen 2-3 Litzau fights...& he does that often.

I'm not saying that he sucks...but his weakness is right there for all fighters to see.

Agreed , and from here on out, his opponents are going to rush that chin early and see what he have... So Jason needs to be ready for that . I think he might have a case of the long necks. which means his team will need to match him up with feather fisted folk for a while until he improves his defensive skills. . Everyone is going to try and spin that head around so he needs be cautious yet he also needs to take advantage of those opportunities to utilize his offensive strengths .. catch 22 if you will !

Dead on the head Lords.

Again...I aint an authority on the kid...but he just seemed to concentrate on his cracking abilities instead of his defensive skills or counters.

As I said in the Edison Miranda thread, the psychology is fascinating. I think Jason's corner may have unwittingly goaded him into getting knocked out! The more his trainer urged him to be careful the more you could just see in his expression that he felt he had to prove his trainer wrong about there being any chance of him getting hurt. I agree that it was bound to happen.
