An old matchmaker once told me, "There ain't nothin' like a good, two-fisted brawl."
No there ain't.
Maybe that's what we have in store for us on Saturday night in Las Vegas, as Jose Luis Castillo and Ricky Hatton get together with the IBO junior welterweight title belt on the line. It's a nice strategic fight for both, because Castillo, after some very weird stuff having happened to him and around him over the past couple of years, looks for an opportunity to make people forget about his weight problems and the controversy surrounding his fights with Diego Corrales, while Hatton sees himself taking another step toward becoming boxing's next worldwide superstar. I don't know if this fight will get him there, but a victory would almost undoubtedly lead to the opportunity to take this sport's audience by the throat. [details]
