ricky hatton has the style to beat castillo

[Manny_P]

judging from Castillo's last fight, Hatton might just beat Castillo. Even match up.

Im pretty undecided on ths fight, but i will probably just side with Castillo. I would love to see Ricky win but his last 2 fights he hasnt performed anywhere near his peak. He doesn't seem to be taking punches as well as he was a couple of years ago either with him being hurt to the head against Collazo and to the body by Urango. I can see Castillo hurting him to body and head and maybe finishing it.

ricky hatton can beat this new old and small Cstillo, but prime vs prime Castillo would KO him.....still, im rooting for Castillo to pull the upset.

Castillo has only been stoped once,that was in the Corrales fight,all the rest of the TKO's have come from cuts

I think that some TKOs from cuts can be considered pretty legitimate stoppages.

If Hatton manages to KO him then it will be a major achievement. My fear as a Hatton fan is that Rick thinks he has done it all and will fade out on the very cusp of greatness.

Im wondering if either of them are really in their prime??

Going by their recent performances, neither fighter looks like they used to.
Maybe Hatton is younger and unbeaten, but thats the only reason i can see why some are saying Hatton will only beat him because Castillo isnt the fighter he used to be.
Yet neither is Hatton.

IMO anything can happen in this fight.

i agree with you all.........Hatton is going to hump castillo to death and leave his ******* streched out and sore for the days to follow

[Del Coqui]

Castillo ain't getting any younger but you also have to wonder if Ricky will have his full strenght for this fight, I think making 140 might be catching up to him, he did seem week in the second half of the fight vs Urango.

Ricky is not the same fighter anymore who beat those guys. Ricky is a fighter now that comes straight in, throws two punches and clinches. Castillo has very good timing and nasty body shots.
Ricky's only chance in this fight is to become the old Ricky, the one who beat those guys you mentioned, but its unlikely. I think he might box until he tastes some of Castillo's body shots and then get back to the clinching which will be his downfall.

hahahah@ ricky is not the same fighter who beat those guys, you say that as if olivera and tackie great fighters..olivera and tackie are about on demarcus corley's level

[hugh grant]

Neither of these guys are in their absolute prime. If how Hatton abuses himself between fights is to be believed he is in his mid thirties now and older than Castillo already. The beers and fry ups have aged him at least 5 years!!
Hatton to beat Castillo.
