Jason Litzau vs. Corey Alarcon on Saturday
By Eric Thomas: Former super featherweight contender Jason Litzau (28-3, 21 KO’s) will finally be retuning to the ring this Saturday night to take on 34-year-old journeyman Corey Alarcon (17-18-1, 4 KO’s) in a scheduled eight round bout at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Broner impressive against Litzau
By Dan Ambrose: Undefeated super featherweight contender Adrien Broner (21-0, 17 KO’s) made it look easy in destroying highly ranked Jason Litzau (28-3, 21 KO’s) by a devastating 1st round knockout last Saturday night at the Arena VFG, Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, Mexico. Broner, ranked #6 WBO, #7 WBA, #7 WBC, and #14 IBF in the super featherweight division, eluded the slower Litzau’s attacks for most of the round and then caught Litzau on the ropes and hurt him with a hard right hand to the head.
Celestino Caballero to fight Jason Litzau on Marquez-Katsidis undercard on November 27th
By Jason Kim: WBA Super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero (34-2, 23 KO’s) will be moving up in weight to super featherweight to take on super featherweight contender Jason Litzau (27-2, 21 KO’s) on the undercard of the clash between WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez vs. WBO lightweight interim champion Michael Katsidis at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Caballero vs. Litzau fight is bout made necessary because Caballero has had zero luck in trying to get Top Rank fighters Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa to fight him.
Litzau Destroys Kimbrough
By Jim Dower: Lightweight Jason Litzau (25-2, 21 KO’s) looked very impressive in stopping Verquan Kimbrough (21-2-2, 7 KO’s) in the 3rd round on Saturday night on the undercard of the Roy Jones Jr. vs. Jeff Lacy bout at the Coast Coliseum, in Biloxi, Mississippi. Litzau, 26, moving up in weight from featherweight, looked much stronger than he had been while fighting 126.
Guerrero Crushes Litzau
By Christopher Ferris: IBF featherweight champion Robert Guerrero (22-1-1, 15 KOs) totally dominated challenger Jason Litzau (23-2, 19 KOs), battering him around the ring at will before stopping him in the 8th round of scheduled 12-round bout on Friday night at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino, in Lemoore, California. The end came in the 8th round after Guerrero, 24, knocked Litzau down twice in the round with left hooks and right hands to the head. Referee David Mendoza moved in and stopped the fight at 2:25 of the 8th round.
The bout was mostly dull for the most part, as it was completely one-sided with Guerrero controlling most of the action. There’s nothing wrong with that, except that Guerrero appeared to win by default, because Litzau, 24, did next to nothing all fight long. He seemed badly afraid of Guerrero from the opening moments of the fight, so much so that he rarely let his hands go. Instead, Litzau mostly stood around attempting to get out of the way of Guerrero’s shots, and not doing a good job of it. The fight really should have been stopped after the 4th round when it became apparent that Litzau wasn’t into the fight and had no interest in punching back.
