Will Hatton Clinch Excessively Against Castillo?

[squealpiggy]

I think you make a good point there. The thing is I think that Hatton thought after Tszyu that noone could hurt him and he just walked right onto punches by Collazo. After that fight he went a bit too far the other way and held too much but Urango was his first fight after a long layoff and the first fight back from the toughest of his career.

Hatton will hug, that is a given. Anyone who thinks differently is in denial.

While I voted that he will once he feels Castillo's body atack, I think he'll actually stop holding and try to box once Castillo starts to get the better of him when he does hold. Castillo is a master at pounding you to the body when you try and hold him so I doubt Hatton will do it for more than 4 rounds.

It's true that insisting on the ref separating the fighters quickly will be detrimental to both men in this one.

Unfortunately for you, Hatton's going to win, and your jealous obsession will become even worse.

I challenge you to this:
If Hatton wins, you do no posting for ONE week, the last week of the month (from the end of the fight till July 1).
If Castillo wins, I will do no posting for TWO weeks, until July 8.
Is that fair enough?
I think because of your obsession you will not take me up on this, because you'll NEED to discredit Hatton more if he wins.

$iN, you said Castillo will knock Hatton out! Back up your words! Don't be afraid of this bet...

I'll stay off boxingscene until Aug. 1 if Castillo knocks Hatton out or wins a decision...and you stay off until July 1 if Hatton wins? How about that?

But you will need to discredit Hatton if he wins, you'll make even more threads putting him down...you won't accept this bet...

He will nail Castillo with two or three body shots then clinch throughout the entire fight..Slowly breaking him down..

Hatton is a tool. He will be ****ing Castillo all night long, Just look at Hatton's face when the round is over and they each have to go into their separate corners. He looks like a lil crying baby. Hatton is the UK's Rocky: fought nobody then got a shot at someone big, won and then fought nobodies again. YOU GUYS DONT FIND IT FUNNY THAT HE FOUGHT A OLD, WAY OUT-OF-PRIME TSZYU AND NOW HE'S FIGHTING CASTILLO WHO IS ON HIS LAST LEG. THE NLY LEGIT FIGHTER IN THEIR PRIME HE FOUGHT WAS COLLAZO AND HE ARGUBABLY SHOULD HAVE LOST THAT MATCH. I HEARD DANA WHITE LIKES THE WAY HATTON WRESTLES I MEAN BOX

I think Graham has got it into his head to avoid taking unnecessary punches. Hatton's punch resistance and stamina haven't been up to their usual level in his last two fights so I'm guessing Graham knows he has to be careful. Hatton fans can dress it up however they like, but getting badly wobbled by Collazo was a big shock, and even though his willpower and recovery was impressive, I think it is indicative of the decline in Hatton's ability to take a good punch.

He took a few decent shots from Urango, but not many, partly due to some pretty good boxing in the first half of the fight and then by smothering the big rock.

If the Hugman shows up, I just hope the referee breaks them up quickly and penalized if he overdoes it...
