"OFFICIAL" Castillo - Hatton Round by Round

[rocketpuncher]

Emmanuel Steward is pretending he knew Castillo was a shot fighter from the first moment he entered the ring and says Hatton shouldn't get credit for this. I disagree. Castillo was simply unable to deal with the smothering clinching style of Hatton. Hatton used his style effectively. Might not have been fight of the year, but he did what he came to do.

Since when is smothering a style?

No dude Castillo was ****ing old.
He looked sluggish, couldnt brawl, and couldnt box.
He had nothing from the start of the fight.
Credit to Hatton for doing what he needed to do.

This fight and the phrase "fight of the year" do not belong in the same sentance.

i normally dont like very much when there is to much hug, but this fight was good.

and although i dont like hattons style, i recognize he is a tough and very good fighter and the true light welter champion.

Max Kellerman asks Hatton what he thinks of his performance. Hatton says his first 2 fights in the states he was disappoint in, but this fight he was pleased with his performance. Kellerman asks Hatton why his best performances are against his toughest opponents. Hatton says he just trains hard for every opponent. Max asks Hatton what he says to critics who say maybe Castillo is not the fighter he was after wars with Diego Corrales. Hatton starts talking about Corrales and says he likes to think of himself as an exciting fighter like Corrales was and that he thinks he's built from the same mold as Corrales, like a warrior. He then said he wanted to dedicate this fight to Corrales and his family. He singled out Diego's "lovely wife" and went 2 steps over to give her a hug and kiss while she cried. Kellerman then repeated his original question about whether Castillo may just have been shot and the fans booed. Hatton gave a smirk and just said he trained for the best Castillo. Kellerman finally asks about a potential matchup with Floyd Mayweather. Hatton paused with a smile while the crowd goes wild and states that fans saw more action in the 4 rounds tonight than they've seen in all of Floyd's career. "That's all I have to say about that."

Max Kellerman announces his opinion is that Castillo is simply a shot fighter.

Damn I am in shock. Castillo shouldn't have played into Hatton's brand of trench warfare. Jose should have put some distance between both of them. Ranged bombs plus a "going in fighter" = some rounds won for castillo.
