Hatton vs. Castillo, who wins?

[Guest]

Hatton btw. Although Castillo looked bored and unapplied in the last fight, he's been in wars and is naturally the smaller guy. He's at the end of the road, and it's the right time for him to be taken out.

Hattons a dirty fighter,using his holding and hiting technique.Castillo is a smart dirty fighter,Hattons taylor made for Castillo.I see Castillo physically breaking Hatton down on the inside to the body.A late vintage Castillo stoppage is in order....Castillo by TKO10

its hard to say, castillo looked bad against rolando reyes an ngdoujoujou
but imo he also looked in poor shape physicaLLY

against chico the second time he looked solid a rock he looked a bad man and he proved he was, if castillo comes in corrales re-match shape he wins by 1punch left hook stoppage in the championship rounds, if he comes in reyes,herman shape hatton wins a decision

I'm not impressed with Castillo on his last fight. And considering his age It's gonna be a tall order for him to go back to the fighting form in which he was before the lay off.

I know for a fact that Castillo has more to offer than Hatton but I want to observe how Castillo is going to prepare coming into this fight.

Rightnow I'm leaning on Hatton who is younger and more energetic.

Hattons style is made for JLC. Ngoudjo kept his hands high and was able to avoid eating any hooks, but JLC adjusted and started throwing the uppercut right up the middle. I think he'll look way better against Hatton and will punish him early and often, causing a late round stoppage.

Those uppercuts can be a major factor dude. That's the punch that can stop Hatton dead on his tracks if he gets caught while coming in.

hey bro you think he can still do that at his age? Maybe he wasn't as motivated when he fought yesterday. Hope that he will be in the best of conditions when he fight hatton.

I'm not so sure dude, Castillo looked seriously unsharp and slow. I dont know if the added weight of both his body and the gloves is affecting his handspeed but he even looked unbalanced which is a sign of a fighter who didnt train for the fight properly. At this point I would say Castillo is too unpredictable to make a claim either way.

i pick hatton because i am afraid that castillo is slipping, and it would be no surprise: 33yo,60+pro fights, many wars...

actually i just imagined the following really sad outcome for the fight:

castillo does not have it anymore, his timing (which was really impressive, look at the mayweather fight) is gone. his chin is not gone however. they make the fight that we expect: a battle. but hatton has faster hands and feet (hatton may not look sweet as sugar, but he has some serious speed going on for him) castillo looks like he is in the fight but he is getting tagged too much, he undergoes lots of pain but is never stunned, bcos he is as tough as ****. In the championship rounds he is just trying to make it to the bell, but he knows only one way to be in a ring: fighting. castillo loses a decision is never knocked down in the process, but he takes a career ending beating.

I really hope both fighters come in really good shape and castillo does not show his age as i described above.

This is one of the few fights where i feel for both fighters, I dont want jlc to lose his last war (this is going to be a war, and he cant have anymore i guess), and I want to see pbf-hatton, plus hatton is a very decent guy.

This is the only fight i can think of, in which i want a draw.

Castillo hasn't looked all that sharp lately but he knows how to work his way inside on guys and that should lead to Hatton finally getting a few points taken away for all that 'strategic' holding he does. I think Castillo's better class will show down the stretch and he beats him unanimously.

I think it's a war of attrition, pounding to the body with Castillo landing the harder punches but Hatton landing more of them, and I think Hatton's youth and energy will be the difference between the two of them leading to a late stoppage in the championship rounds. I also think there's a chance that Castillo will get dropped but we may see both fighters on the canvas.
