Lowell Litchfield jr Gonzalez Media TV interview on knee injury

Lowell Litchfield jr Gonzalez Media TV interview with Jose G covered the kickboxer’s decision loss at Northern Iowa Fights, the right-knee injury that still has him out of competition, and his hope of finding a fight in Illinois after more recovery. He also discussed moving down from heavyweight, trying MMA and judo, and his views on Roman Reigns, LA Knight and Sami Zayn.

How did Lowell Litchfield jr get into kickboxing?

Lowell Litchfield jr has competed in kickboxing for about three years. He was unsure about the sport at first, but decided to try it after recognizing that wrestling was not his strongest skill. He introduced himself as the caveman and said he has kept competing since giving kickboxing a shot.

Litchfield described his decision in practical terms rather than as a long-held ambition. He knew his wrestling could be a handicap, while he felt he could take a beating and keep going. That made kickboxing worth trying despite his initial doubts.

His plans now extend beyond the sport that got him competing. He wants to continue fighting, but also has MMA and judo in mind once he is ready to return.

What happened in Lowell Litchfield jr’s last Northern Iowa Fights bout?

Lowell Litchfield jr lost his last Northern Iowa Fights bout by decision, though he believed he had done enough to win. He said he failed to counter when his opponent kicked, then took a kick to the back of his right knee in the third round that he later learned had torn muscles.

The Northern Iowa Fights decision

The bout took place a few months before Litchfield spoke with Gonzalez Media TV. He did not name the opponent or identify which muscles were torn. Asked about the result, he made clear that his view differed from the judges’ decision. Litchfield put it this way:

I felt like I had that one

Looking back, he thought he had spent too much time playing with his opponent. When the other fighter threw a kick, Litchfield would step back and look at him instead of answering with a counter. He identified those missed opportunities as something he should have handled differently.

The third-round kick to his right knee

After the kick landed behind his knee, Litchfield said his immediate priority became getting through the fight. He later found out that the blow had torn muscles, although he could not recall their names. The injury remained a problem well after the decision: he was still out of competition when he spoke about the bout.

How is Lowell Litchfield jr recovering from his knee injury?

Lowell Litchfield jr said his right leg was beginning to feel better with some physical therapy, but its strength had not returned. He had resumed work about three weeks earlier and expected it would take another couple of months before he could step back into the ring.

That is an estimate, not a booked return date. He was already asking around about a possible fight in Illinois, but did not name an event or opponent. His immediate focus remained recovery from the kick that landed behind his knee.

Litchfield has dealt with a similar injury before. He recalled hurting himself while playing football in high school and judged that injury to have been worse than this one. Even so, the current injury had kept him from competing and delayed his next fight.

Finding bouts can also require travel. For Northern Iowa Fights, he said he normally goes to Waterloo or Mason City, Iowa, describing the trip as roughly three hours each way. An opportunity in Illinois would fit the area where he was looking for his return.

Why does Lowell Litchfield jr want to change weight classes and try MMA?

Lowell Litchfield jr wants to move down from heavyweight toward 170 pounds and is considering a change to his diet and fitness routine to do it. He also wants to start MMA and look into judo tournaments. He presented those as plans he hopes to pursue, not competitions already scheduled.

At the time of the interview, Litchfield said he was around 230 pounds and did not feel good about himself at that weight. Returning to 170 pounds was his stated goal, but he gave no timetable for reaching it and did not say which class he would enter next.

MMA and judo alongside kickboxing

MMA appeals to him even though he earlier described wrestling as a weakness. He also said he tries to do judo, while acknowledging that he is not particularly good at it yet. His interest in judo tournaments sits alongside, rather than replaces, his intention to fight again.

The first step is getting his leg strong enough to compete. Litchfield did not announce an MMA debut, a judo entry or a confirmed kickboxing return; he described the directions he wants to explore after recovery.

What did Lowell Litchfield jr say about Roman Reigns and LA Knight?

Lowell Litchfield jr thought keeping Roman Reigns ahead of LA Knight was the right wrestling decision because, in his view, Reigns was on fire again. A major pro wrestling fan, he also expressed support for Sami Zayn and said he would like to see LA Knight win the Royal Rumble.

Money in the Bank and Roman Reigns

Litchfield had been working during Money in the Bank, so he had not watched it live. Asked about the reaction to the booking, he focused first on Reigns and LA Knight. He felt the decision involving them made sense at that point.

Sami Zayn and LA Knight

He also said he was a big Sami Zayn fan. When the conversation turned back to LA Knight, Litchfield mentioned a coworker who often talks about Knight winning. He did not expect Knight to be booked to beat Reigns in their current situation, but liked the idea of Knight winning the Royal Rumble.

His wrestling interests did not stop with the headline names. During the discussion, Jose G brought up Liv Morgan, Penta and Jevon, while Litchfield’s own answers centered on Reigns, Knight and Zayn. Litchfield also said he had seen clips of international judo tournaments, though he had not sat down to watch one in full.

What business is Lowell Litchfield jr working on outside fighting?

Lowell Litchfield jr said he was trying to build a small business alongside his regular work and fight preparation. He did not give a clear description of its services, but said he had previously worked to make money for other people and now wanted to develop something of his own.

The business is another project he is handling while recovering. He had recently returned to work, was starting to feel improvement in his leg and was looking ahead to training and competing again.

He did not give a launch date, customer figures or a name for the venture. For now, he described it as something he was trying to get going while balancing the rest of his work and recovery.
