Ricky Hatton will knock out Jose Luis Castillo

i dont even think its close, hatton is going to TKO a faded castillo in the middle rounds in a fight where castillo looks shot. hatton is the much fresher fighter and castillo been in too many wars. Hatton TKO6

hatton definitely has an advantage in this fight, he has youth on his side, hatton hasn't been in as many wars as castillo, and hatton has a lot of momentum coming into this fight. going by their last performances, this fight is pretty even, but these two warriors know the significance of this fight and the significance of each other, this fight is a lot easier to rise to the occasion for each other. not that Urango and Ngoudjo aren't worthy opponents, but it was probably hard to focus on those fights for both guy, making their performances look shaky. it was obvious that during those fights, each guy was focusing on fighting each other(hatton and castillo). now that they got what they wanted, i think that they're going to pull out all the stops and go for it to the fullest. if castillo can suck it up and fight like he was in his prime, hatton is going to have a hard time keeping up with castillo, ans castillo could easily win this fight, inside fighting or not. but if hatton steps it up like he did against kostya and try and maul castillo he could win this fight, but the only thing is, that kind of style of fighting plays into castillo's strengths, castillo is an excellent inside fighter who doesn't know how to clinch and tie up. if hatton can keep his wind and not get into a hugging match and let his hands go he could beat castillo without letting castillo get anything off on the inside. it's when hatton tries to grab is when castillo is going to do his thing a get an advantage from hatton not throwing and trying to hold. i'm leaning towards hatton in this fight, although i'd like to see castillo get the win, but i think youth and freshness is going to be huge factors in this fight which are both on hatton's side. the good thing is the way hatton fights like castillo fights, is almost like another corrales-castillo I. i think this fight will be FOTY and nothing short of spectacular. may the best man win..............................

I'm expecting Ricky to be like a pitbull in this fight. And will knock Castillo out in the 10th round. When Castillo loses will it be the end of him? Is that the official poster for the fight on you sig. pretty bad ass, One of the best ive seen. I saw a different one but I hope thats official one wich hopefully they will have on ebay or some other store here......

I can see Vintage Hatton in this fight! If Castillo is faded more than i think he could get stoped but i think its a long hard gruelling battle over the distance with Ricky coming out on top! :boxing: I just hope he duznt win ugly with all the grappling again.

Hatton on points. He can't knock Castillo out, but he can outbox him. I think hatton wins by late KO:boxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqzYpE5qYLk

Yep...The body shots will wear him down and the chin check will finish him in the later rounds..

Hatton will be way too worn out from all the body punches to score a knock out or TKO.

Castillo's never been knocked on his back before, and I don't expect him to against Hatton. He'll stop Hatton.

i like green eyes so i do

Oh? Well, I like brown eyes. He'll win.

He was displaying his brown eye on a HBO special on him once.

Castillo is a dangerous dude and will give Hatton trouble i have no doubts about that. But he likes losing more than Hatton. He is used to losing. So if he loses again it wont be that much of a shock for him.

Only if he got brown eyes. I like brown eyes.

I cant wait for this fight i've watched hatton train on tv and he looks mean and in great shape. I cant wait, hatton's gona knock castillo on his back. :boxing:

Hatton won't win. Castillo got brown eyes. I like brown eyes.
