HATTON vs CASTILLO: War or Bore???

[Kball15]

This has to be one of the hardest ones to predict.

It could be an all out war just as easily as it could be a complete bore.

I think it'll be a great fight, cause again, even if hatton starts out clinching he'll find out really fast that thats no way to beat Castillo. He'll probably get rocked the way he lunges in with the clinch anway.

Should be a great fight

Castillo's the more technically polished fighter, but Ricky's the most exciting fighter I've ever seen

If Ricky can roll back the years it'll be a Waaar!

I think the size of the gloves plays a huge part. Im not really sure about this one either.

provided they both come into the fight in great shape, it ought to be a war.

castillo in his last fight didn't throw that many punches and had a hard time getting off shots.

hatton in his last fight got a little tired and started clinching a lot.

if they're in good shape those two elements will not be an issue.


but one thing i do know about castillo, if hatton tries to clinch like that castillo will make him pay, that is castillo's bread and butter, the inside clinch, castillo knows how to make it work there.

i think this fight is going to be extremely dirty, both guys like to rough house and foul constantly!!! non stop fouling between the two i'm willing to bet. from the very first round too...................

Can't wait for this fight, I reckon War. They've both got animal record so it should be good.

[Undefeated]

This fight is going to be a war. I think Hatton realizes that this is his time to get a big win. This fight is going to be good while it lasts. Even though Hatton might clinch and mess up the trading flow. It's going to good while it lasts.

Castillo wins by SD.

If Hatton goes in with the mindset he had when he beat Tyzu and Castillo goes in with the mindset of when he fought Chico(rip), then it should be all out war.

Agree 100% there is no way this CAN'T be a war. I dont see any scenario where it isn't an exciting fight. I dont expect a Corrales vs Castillo 1 repeat but I do think it will be a FOTY candidate.

I think Castillo will wilt in about rd 8. might take another round or two for ]hatton to get him out of there, but the writing will already be on the wall
