Yea a lot of guys do that. Helps a lot.

Hatton is gonna need all the help he can get. If URANGO can hurt Hatton to the body, Castillo certainly can.

He needs to box. Ill say it again, Clinching is the worst thing Hatton can do in this fight.

He got hurt against Urango lunging in with a clinch like he does, and ran right into a brutal uppercut to the body.

Castillo probably hits even harder and will notice those openings 10x faster then Urango.

If Hatton boxes like he did against Urango in the opening rounds, itll be a great fight and Hatton will most likely have his hands raised after the final bell...

I think it was Geoff that posted a recent interview of Graham and Hatton that talked about this very issue.

Obviously I do a lot of stomach work like sit ups and medicine ball to solid that area but maybe a little bit more with Castillo because I think that's where he's going to sling a few of them in.

I don't think so.

Castillo wasn't a big puncher at 135. He's a beat you down guy.

yeah true, but hes accurate and will definately hurt hatton IMO.
hattons gonna take a controversial decision i think with a sloppy performance.
i will probably give him the nod but all he hatton haters will be on it big time.

I think he'll win comfortably but

Because that's just what happens around here.

Castillo's no idiot, he knows this already. This fight has a great chance of being fight of the year. I think Hatton will win, at this time of their careers it matters on who wants it more, and the guy with 0 losses is going to want it more to prove a point.

Hattons Worried! I wonder What kind of training Castillo is doing to avoid Hattons Clinching?

**me2007** · 06-07-2007, 08:14 AM

I can see Hatton using some Octopus tactics in later rounds!

Its nice that he does that, it shows he likes the other fighter.
