As Gatti's fights were Litzau's fights are fun to watch. Litzau's offensive attack, long power shots, knockout power, tendencity to engage in a brawl and desperation to win makes an exciting fight.
On December 16, 2006 Litzau suffered a setback losing by way of an 8th round knockout to Jose Hernandez. Litzau, also dropped in round one, rallied and took contol of the fight was leading on all scorecards until he was caught by a huge overhand right that sent him crashing to the canvas.
