Sure Castillo looked well past his best days and definetly done as an elite fighter.
But there isnt a single fighter in the 135 and 140 pound divisions that could have done that to Castillo.
I thought the first round was boring, but you had to expect that as this was going to be a very inside fight and they both needed to find there range and comfort zones.
But rounds 2-4 were the Hatton of old. Very active and exciting in those rounds.
I would rate this win VERY CLOSE his win of Kostya Tszyu because nobody has EVER come close to doing that to CASTILLO.
Overall i thought it was a very good night for Hatton and a very good fight overall.
Stop complaining about Hattons clinching, he clearly showed he can excite and clinch.
And I also think Hatton re-established himself as a premiere body puncher in the sport with that win. He was before this, but his Collazo fight and his Urango fight let that reputation fade a bit.
