Typeone, i think you are being a tad biased mate. Dont get me wrong, i'm a massive fan of Hatton, but stating that he will go toe to toe with any fighter is just utter rubbish.
Against Urango he did anything but go toe to toe, instead opting to box from the outside and rarely engage him in a brawl. He did this simply because he knew that Urango was physically stronger.
He knew he could instead beat Urango by boxing clever, which is exactly what he did.
Hats off to Hatton against Castillo though. He did a fantastic job on him and surpassed most fans expectations of him.
Ricky will get a new HBO deal for sure and hopefully some quality fights in the near future!Comment

hatton is lucky the fight didnt go 12 rounds cause the first 4 rounds were hugtastic and 12 rounds of the same would have gotten him banned from all american television for eternityComment

Yes...I tip it cuz he won by body blow KO. No I dont support dirt...but I am the kinda guy that will give the guy a nod on the win. He fought dirty but not THAT dirty. No headbutts, eblow smashes, nut shots, etc. This is a big improvement for Ricky and I noticed it so hence the props.
Damed if you do and damed if ya dont. You Brits are never happy.Comment

Am I to take it that you think Hatton is usually a dirty fighter? Well, if you are referring to the Tszyu fight where he inflicted a low blow on the guy, then you might want to consider the succession of low blows dished out by Kostya before Hatton retaliated.
Unfortunately Hatton seems to have developed a reputation on American forums as a dirty fighter. Hattons style dictactes that he is a figther that does the majority of work on the inside, up close and personal. Some of it is bound to look a little scrappy. But in reality, its quite methodical and planned. When fighters fight the way Hatton does, there tends to be clashes of heads, the odd low blow simply because there is not alot of room to manouvre.
His dismatlement of Castillo last night was textbook Hatton, from the pre Tszyu era, something that American fans havent seen much of. He was much more focused, working predominantly on the body shots before figuring out the best way to take his man down. I have seen him do it to countless others, before his HBO days.
Hatton just needs some time to settle into America. It was only his third fight in the States and I think nerves maybe played a part in his lax performances leading into the Castillo fight.
Give it time mate, i'm sure you'll end up liking him in the end!!
