Castillo: "I'm Going To Knock Hatton Out"

i think hugman is unfair to describe hattons style,im english and have seen hatton come up from his 3rd pro fight until the present,if you had the chance to view his pre-tszyu fights you would see alot of boxing abillity clean hard punching and great footwork,his last fights have against really owkward foes, the nightmare of maussa,up at welter vs collazo a skillfull southpaw,against urango a bull of a junior welter with a iron chin,its hard to look good with these guys,no excuses for this one,castillo will be right there ready to war,i predict alot of infighting but you will see hatton has taken in fighting to a new level,one castillo won't be ready for..enjoy the fight ,hatton in the 8th...

We are not living in the pre-Tsyzu days. This is not 2004. This is 2007. And in 2007 Hatton aka Huggies aka The HugMan is a miniature John Ruiz...

Castillo is is too small, too old and too shot.

People are just predicting Castillo to win because they dont like Hatton

Welcome to reality... Castillo will fall at some point.

I agree, Castillo is not the fighter he was a few years back. This is like the Tsyzu fight all over again...

Tszyu is better than Castillo. How can someone who got UD'd by Mayweather be compared to KT?

I give this to Castillo though, he beat up Mayweather in their first fight.

After seeing Hatton's last fight and how he was so tender in the gut, i know castillo is going to knock him out. Bet!

i hope their is a castillo-hatton trilogy so hatton gets 3 times the beating. i also hope once hatton loses all the hatton fans rush the ring and get tazered by security...........i hope

I hope you were logged on to the forum and had to go for a quick piss or something and that it was
an 8 year old child with learning difficulties who actually made this post...........i hope

The only comparison between the two is that Hatton didn't choose to fight either of them until they were past their prime...

probably because he's been stopped quite a few times before at featherweight.

Castillo will be stopped.

Bro, Castillo has only been stopped once (not including by cuts), by Chico, and Hatton doesn't have half the power Chico did. Castillo was prone to cut in his earlier days but he doesn't cut anymore; the cuts were all below 130 when he was too weight drained.

Listen, Castillo is a great warrior and FW is just betting that he's a little too old, but I don't think that's the case. I think Castillo still has much in the tank and will show it against Ricky. The body attack will be the difference.

Don't start saying that I want Castillo to win because I dislike Hatton. I like Hatton and think he's a great fighter who's very exciting to watch. I just think his style will get his body killed against a fighter like Castillo.

hatton wanted kostya tszyu in 2002 thats why he took the ibf root to the title
in mid 2004 he got offered kelson pinto for the vacant wbo title ( after ricky turned it down miguel cotto got the shot instead) but he opted to fight michael stewart in the final eliminator for kostya tszyus IBF title

hatton wanted tszyu 3 years before he got to him and stated in august 2002 he has the perfect game plan
