Castillo/Hatton should be good.

magee got schooled in that fight so i don't see how this is going to impress anyone. Plus it's the only time that hatton has been down in his career. You seem to be getting desperate to find material that makes hatton look bad.

That's why Floyd backed up on the ropes clinching to Corley? Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Did Floyd win a close, disputed decision against Corley? No, the final scores all gave Corley one or two rounds. You can't even compare. Floyd whipped Corley's ass, but besides....you're not giving credit where credit is due. You aren't taking into consideration that Augustus was a tough fight for Ngoudjo and in turn Ngoudjo is a tough fight for Castillo. That's simply because styles make fights and you're denouncing that idea completely. Look, don't start trying to hype up Augustus like he's something. He has a few losses on his record that he shouldn't have, but he's earned the majority of his 20-something losses. He's not that good of a fighter. Whenever he's stepped up to a top 10 level fighter he has gotten destroyed. The fact that he had a very close fight against Ngoudjo is proof that Ngoudjo is not a top 10 fighter at 140. If you think Castillo is still great at 140 after this performance, then you have to say Augustus is just as good as Castillo since they performed equally against the same fighter... This is just stupid. Everything you typed there is just wrong and I don't understand it. You aren't taking into consideration that styles make fights.

You do realize Ngoudjo was nearly KTFO by Emmanuel Augustus? Do you consider Augustus on the same level as Castillo? Ngoudjo had fought no one else in his career even close to Castillo's level. This was clearly supposed to be a showcase for both Hatton and Castillo. They each were handpicked opponents that were supposed to be very easy victories to set up Castillo-Hatton. Everything went according to plan in Hatton's fight. Everyone who had seen Urango fight before knew he was a joke and was going to get schooled. The Castillo fight didn't work out the same way. They expected Castillo to have an easy time with an inexperienced fighter who had never fought this level of opponent before. It turns out Castillo just wasn't that good and his close win combined with Hatton's boring style has really killed much of the anticipation this fight had before last Saturday... Oh save it. Floyd was out on his feet against Corley....does that mean Corley is as good a fighter as Floyd? Your own logic is flawed. Augustus is a tough fight for anyone, and anyone that watches boxing knows that. They aren't going to boxrec his 20 something losses and point it out like most of the newbies on this site do. Face it, you've only seen Augustus fight maybe once or twice....or you're going by word of mouth. And I pointed out this fight was a showcase for both fighters that backfired. Castillo is a P4P best and Ngoudjo showed he's clearly a future champ with his performance. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Im picking Hatton to win a decision. I think it will be a hell of a fight!

I see what you're saying, and there is a chance that Hatton will see that fight and take heart from it. However, I think he knows that Coralles tends to fight better in bigger fights. Watch him against Casamayor and then watch him against Coralles 1 and 2. Watch him against Ngoudjo and then watch him against Mayweather. Totally different performances because they were the much bigger fights and he got up for them. I think that Hatton will prepare for the best of Castillo because he cannot afford to do otherwise. I never thought about that, but you're right. In his fight against Corrales, both I and II, he really showed up. Winning the second fight easy, and nearly winning the first fight, some might argue was called two early. I think it will be a good fight, I just hope Hatton doesn't hold, and JLC shows up.

I think Hatton will beat Castillo from what i seen last saturday. Castillo wont be able to hurt Hatton the way Urango did.

I think the fight JLC just had is going to work for his advantage. He fought sloppy, slow, but still won the fight. Hatton is going to be training for that, thinking JLC is going to come out sluggish once again, but JLC was one time known for his speed and accuracy, so the outcome is going to be in Castillo's favor. I think it will come down to UD and JLC takes it. I see what you're saying, and there is a chance that Hatton will see that fight and take heart from it.

I dont think so. Hatton will be a lot better prepared for Castillo - he'll watch a load of tapes, he'll have a better plan, he'll be much better prepared for the body attack than he was against Urango, plus Castillo isn't a southpaw. Hatton will have seen loads of Castillo fights, whereas he hadnt seen anything of Urango before that fight. PLUS despite the body attack having an effect from Urango (who is probably as heavy a puncher as Castillo if not more so) he still dominated a won nearly every round.

Thats insanity if i've ever heard it. You have Hatton who is a hold-artist and JLC who is an inside puncher. What do you think the outcome will be? JLC will break one of Hattons ribs, I gurantee it.

i reckon hatton will beat castillo by a UD....castillo is too old and slow and he showed me that tonight.............hatton will put on a similar performance to tonight and clinch a lot and pull out a UD by about 8 rounds to 4. HBO want Hatton to beat Castillo a lot more than the other way round also...Castillo was lucky tonight . Thats insanity if i've ever heard it.

Castillo had to be salivating when he saw the effect Urango's body attack had on Hatton. Although Castillo didn't look very good tonight, I would have to pick Castillo via a late-round stoppage because of his body-attack.

He was fighting Juan Urango and not Jose Luis Castillo. The fight was boring tonight, because he was matched up with a boring, plodding southpaw with zero boxing skill that closes his eyes every time he throws a combo. well he is the one who chose the most illegitimate title holder out there!!............u guys forget too quick urango's robbery against ben rabah!!...that is why i never respected nor rated urango at all!! as i mentioned before, hatton can stay at 140 and dominate as its a crap division atm, but 147, oh no, don't go there...Cotto would eat his liver for breakfast..

Sorry but I'm with Moochi I just think Castillo might be a little to battle worn. It wasn't just Njodou it was Castillo himself. His punches didn't look crisp or seem to have speed to them. His pop was gone and he looked way to hitable on the inside where he usually had tremendous work rate and good upper body and head movement and positioning. I dont think Castillo would be able to prevent Hatton from pop shot/clinch...punch punch clinch. Similar to how hatton defeated Tzu and how Ruiz defeated Evander. No disrespect to Castillo I really like him as a fighter but just think he is too shop worn. True , but props to Herman Njodou for fighting the fight of his life. Castillo did look slow and his reflexes looked a little shot but I still think he beats Hatton in a close dec. Also...Castillo didnt even take Njodou seriously at first. Only in the middle rounds where he realized he was in a fight did he step it up.

I like both Hatton and Castillo and have the utmost respect for them as fighters but styles make fights. Castillo will murder Hatton in the clinches and wont let him get away with all that holding. Castillo's body attack is relentless and he obviously did his homework watching the entire fight tonight from his locker room with his team. It will be a great fight but IMO Castillo will win a dec.

Castillo's opponent was a good fighter. HBO brain washes you to think Castillo was either washed up or not taking him seriously. This would be a great fight.

The kid Castillo fought obviously has some good boxing skill in him, more than Hatton I'm pretty damn sure. You can't use that to compare how a Hatton fight would go since both generally throw caution to the wind and fight like hell. When I first heard of this fight as a possibility, I picked Castillo in a heartbreat. I've gotta say I think it's a toss-up and wouldn't be surprised to see either win a decision. If anyone's getting knocked out, I'd have to say it will be Hatton. It took Corrales to crack Castillo's jaw after 10 rounds of hell and Hatton doesn't pack nearly as good a punch.

i reckon this fight is a mismatch in hatton's favour..............castillo is way past it imo and i believe hatton will win comfortably........ i'm willing to bet anyone that hatton beats castillo via UD!! look at the two properly and you have to pick Hatton...castillo showed tonight he is too old and wartorn by now....however, he does deserver a payday. I don't really know how Ngojou's performance tonight was an indicator of Castillo getting old, or other. He looked fine. Castillo was in there with a hungry guy who was in great shape, and showed he has the ability to fight a smart fight on the inside. I'd also hazard to guess that we'll see more of Ngojou in the future after his showing tonight. I don't agree with the bold statement, because the two have the types of styles that make for an interesting fight. Everyone has been looking forward to seeing the two square off.....and it seems just now in light of their two tuneup performances nobody is in the mood anymore. I think that's ridiculous. Hatton even said himself that he needed a fight against another P4P rival, and it's that simple. He was fighting Juan Urango and not Jose Luis Castillo. The fight was boring tonight, because he was matched up with a boring, plodding southpaw with zero boxing skill that closes his eyes every time he throws a combo.
