Litzau Rebounds With Win

By Michael Woods April 26th, 2007

Jason Litzau got back on the winning track on ESPN’s Wednesday Night Fights in Roy Wilkins Auditorium on Wednesday night.

Litzau (21-1, 18 KO’s) defeated Mexico’s Aldo Valtierra (24-8, 13 KO’s) in a unanimous decision in the 10-round bout.

Litzau’s was knocked out in the eighth round by Jose Hernandez in December on HBO.

“I love it here,” Litzau said to the Minneapolis Star Tribune after the fight, “and I want to stay here.”

In the fourth, Valtierra’s right jab sliced Litzau’s cheek right below the eye.

Near the end of the eighth round, a Litzau right hook put Valtierra on the canvas.

Litzau is craving a rematch with Jose Hernandez. “I wanted him tonight. Jose is dumb enough to stand in there with me.”
