#1) cause its on my birthday, and i havent had a decent birthday celebration since 4 years ago. a hatton knockout or lopsided decision should be sweet!
#2) Urango is a very tough fighter. he isnt particularly good, and i do think hatton should be fighting "Ben Rabah" instead, but Urango wont go easy.
A Hatton Knockout prolly wont happen, but if it does it would be a great way to partially shutup the hatton hater's until castillo-hatton
#3) Hatton will get his belt back, brining more PPV buys into the hatton-castillo superfight, and bringing boxing back ever-so-slightly.
hatton-castillo will be the 2nd legitimate PPV buy since... since as far as i can remember! (the other being barrera-juarez )
#4) If ur a hatton lover, then there is no better way for hatton to gain popularity here in the states then with a domination performance. yet another reason why HATTON-CASTILLO will draw 500,000+ buys (yes, i have extremely high expectations for that fight)
#5) and finally, URANGO didnt deserve anything but a UD loss on his record in that rabah fight. This will be a fun way for rabah to retaliate on one of the worst decisions this year :P
I don't think Hatton Castillo was ever going to be a PPV fight.
I'm pretty sure they wanted to make it a PPV. I'm also pretty sure a better outing by them would've made it a PPV. I"m actually happy its not on PPV now since I would've paid for it. I just saved $50. :banana:
Its undeniable that it hurt them. Before that card Hatton-Castillo would've been PPV. After that card it got knocked down to regular HBO.
Well, theres another reason its a good thing! lol
ROFL, you actually dug this up. Hatton-Urango fight with Castillo on the undercard was horrible and failure for both fighters.

The last few round of Hatton Urango were absolutely shocking, no way was mayweather more boring than that fight.
There is no reason to consider that fight a good thing...

Hatton at his best fights on his toes, feints inside and uses bodyshot combo's that nobody has ever done before, uppercuts with either hand, hooks with either hand, left hook placed just behind the elbow or into the pit of the stomach, right hand on the back foot, head and body combo's that nobody has ever done before (and finishing with a jab), etc, or works on the outside - hooking off the jab, left uppercuts off the jab, jabs turned hooks, jabs turned uppercuts. He can move in and out of range effortlessly well, moves beautifully, has splendidly quick hands and feet, suberb balance, frightening timing at times and excellent footwork (side-stepping better than anybody I've ever seen).
Nuthugging at it's finest. You act like Ricky has done something revolutionary in boxing because he works the body. Come the fuck on, it's been part of boxing since day one.
You are seriously delusional if you think Hatton is doing things than no one has ever done before in a boxing ring.
If he was this good, why the fuck did he almost get knocked out cold by a guy with mediocre power....because you forgot the second half of boxing, defense, which Ricky has none of. Sorry, but a guy who uses his face as a guard isn't revolutionizing the sport.
I'm sorry, but you're post is utter garbage and completely full of a fans view and nothing more. You act like Ricky is the perfect fighter which he's anything but.

Yup, definitely looks like a guy who has overhauled the entire sport. :rolleyes:
the only way its a good thing is cause it lowers people expectations so far that everything else will seem like a world class matchup in comparison.
haha
..............
Urango is very musclar guy you could see his body and a new bred of sluggers who are southpaws.
Hatton has stamina and throw combo.
so it will be a competivie fight. Just because Urango was gifted to a talented slick boxer does not mean that he bum.
Urango will come better prepared and will make some improvement and Hatton should expect on that.
Make up your mind people. Pick one.
1) Hatton is fighting a bum and will thrash him.
2) Hatton will get beaten by a better opponent.
C'mon guys, which is Urango? Present your evidence. Tell me all the Urango fights you have seen (and all the Hatton ones at that) that lead you to your decision.
Just interested in knowing who if anyone knows what the hell they are actually talking about.
:rofl::rofl::rofl: Have you looked at who's holding all the belts lately? Fucking loser.
stop hyping this guy, i know you need a great white hope but he is not it. Remember Gerry Cooney, that guy was hyoed like hatton, and when he stepped up he got put out. hatton is the most protected fighter in boxing. He does not have the skills to compete at the elite level. Urango will beat hatton bad, he is younger, stronger and hungrier. hatton should of ballzed up and took that ass wiping pbf would have given him, instead of acting like he was some king. he aint the king in any weight division and urango will show him. :boxing:
Urango performed poorly against a boxer, and so did Hatton when he faced Collazo. I don't expect to see very much boxing but rather a slugfest. Urango packs a harder punch. Urango by KO 9.
hatton is going to get a dose of his own medicine and ruffed up in this fight......Urango has a great power shot and will KO Hatton IMO......or Hatton wins a very fun fight that HBO scored...LOL j/k we will see should be a good fight...I got Urango by TKO/KO in 9 or 10.
urango lost to a nobody in ben rabah. he got out boxed and roughed up. what makes u think he could beat one of the best inside fighters today? just wondering...
sure, urango is an okay prospect with some good power. but he hardly has the stamina to keep up with hatton, and hatton can take a big shot. u know?

Thank you.
ur welcome.
i see one big problem with hatton, that wouldnt effect him against a castillo, but could kill him against a mayweather.
If hatton jumps on the inside and trys to throw a combination, but gets caught with a flush shot, he wont back away or cover up or anything. instead, he telegraphs a big left hook.
against a collazo or a castillo, its not to big a problem because sometimes it may land, and when it doesnt, they dont have the hand speed to do any real damage on a counter-shot
Mayweather however, will counter that shot everytime, and hatton could get hurt badly if he does it enough.
if u dont know what im talking about, watch collazo-hatton again. He did a ton, partially because it worked a lot. one time he telegraphed a left hook SOOO massively, jim lampley, and his 2 crew guys all commented on it at the same time!

by Castillo Cotto and Mayweather.. nuff said, fuck huggy bear hatton

god damn!
and i also hate how people go out of there way to say shit like that, cause it was completely off topic!!!
