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.
Unfortunately it is a natural, if a little unfair, reaction to presume that most people who are predicting that castillio will beat hatton are doing so purely based on their hate for hatton. I have no problem with people like yourself who can back it up with reasoned argument and are basing their opinion strictly on boxing, but there are so many petty, childish posts out there prob made by insecure people who just want to jump on bandwagon and seem popular in front of their peers, but just come across as pathetic and don't do any justice to people who have any negative but well argued boxing related comments on hatton.
I'm not a massive hatton fan, but i'm from the uk so will be cheering him on. As long as its a great fight though i will take my hat off to whoever wins, i really think its a close call at the min, both fighters seem up for it, both can dig to the body and both have great desire to pull through in a tough fight. I can see a long, hard, bloody war of attrition, can't wait.
My biggest fear is an inconclusive and conterversial end to the fight, both fighters cut and the heads will be going in there, hope it doesn't go to the scorecards early on.
