Castillo is underdog because he is coming up in weight and because he didn't look that hot in his last fight. But if I were you I would not lock in my wager yet if your betting real money.

If I were you I would search over sea's bookies money lines on Friday. Hatton is popular and the European and late money will probably move the line some more in Hatton's favor, therefore giving you better odds.

P.S. ..........do not parlay this with the under-over its tempting but I think its too risky.

Castillo should be the underdog he through his best days are way behind him. I don't like Hatton but they are using Castillo as a name to put on his resume and I can't blame them all boxers have done it. They do it because most of the time when a boxers resume is looked at they only look at the names majority of the time they don't talk about whether the opponents were in the prime of they're career's.

Castillo had a tough time with Ngodjo in the second half of the fight because, as reported in Mexican papers before the fight, he wasn't taking the fight seriously. I bet he will take Ricky seriously, tho.

Castillo hasn't lost since Chico TKO'd him in their first fight and I don't think Ricky hits half as hard as Diego. Before that, you need to go back to the two PBF fights to find an L in his record, and there's nothing wrong with losing to the current PFP King.

I think Castillo has had the better fights (PBF, Casamayor, Chico, Julio Diaz, Lazcano, Stevie Johnston) and has too much experience for Ricky. Anyone remember how he was the underdog against Lazcano on the DLH - Sturm undercard? He was coming down from WELTERWEIGHT to take a fight at 135 so don't give me the "he's coming up in weight" excuse because he's fought at a higher weight before.

Do I make a good enough argument for you, Baya? However, I'm going to wait until the day of the fight so that the lines do go up in Ricky's favor and I can make more money. I think this fight ends in KO but maybe I won't bet the under.

Dont listen to Baya...for a few reasons...

1) hes Puerto rican (So what if you are too)

2) He hates Castillo-he wanted Cotto v. Castillo and is still pissed about it.

3) He is an Iranian sympathizer

Let those limey bastards bet up their boy and then pounce...I will be there and will be laying some money on JL myself...Im going to strongly look at Castillo by stoppage...I can envision a stoppage via cuts.
