To cause as much pain as Castillo was in, that 'Kidney' punch would have had to be thrown from a completely different angle. the picture you pasted was a glancing blow suggesting a follow through. Of course you knew that.
If a fighter turns away from a punch and it happens to land on his back, that ****s on the fighter who turned away in the first place. Just like when Quintana tried to avoid that punch from Cotto and it destroyed his lower back/side.
Hatton targeted Castillo's rib cage (where the punch initially landed anyway) and as Castillo turned away Hatton's fist moved to his back (first photo).
