Hattons KO Punch Is A Kidney Punch!!!

[McNulty]

If this was a kidney punch, then how come this issue was not raised on HBO after the fight? You know someone would've mentioned something.

Is Hatton a HBO fighter?

There is also a fine line on fighting dirty and being a dirty fighter. A little dirt aint the end of the world...but when you constantly do it...its a problem. Thats just me...

I agree with this kinda like all the illegal elbows and forearms MAyweather uses like a weapon against every single opponent he faces. That being said when I first saw the punch I thought it was a kidney punch but after watching it a few times it may have been borderline at worst and was not intentional, i think all the work hatton had done on castillos body throughout was what really caused him to come undone.

Is Hatton a HBO fighter?

Yeah I think he is now. 3rd time on it,and 3rd time fighting big in America too.

How does 33 make Castillo an old man? Is Hopkins an old man at age 42?

He was a shadow of the fighter he was just a couple of years ago! Hattons one of the most open fighters around, Castillo would've made him pay for it not that long ago! Some fighters show their age overnight, it happens.

Theres your answer...

Even though Hatton's glove did seem to slip around to Castillo's back after the initial contact there was no direct impact to the kidneys. The shot came in from the side and was above kidney level anyway.

This is the feeblist attempt at discrediting a win that I've ever seen.

thats not what you said you said this verbatim...



Anyway...Sam Peter does it all the time and its illegal...If you miss, you miss, not hit tthe back of his head.

It is illegal to turn your back on a fighter, but doesnt mean it can be hit there.

Who are you, a contract lawyer?

I meant that ab accidental hit on the back of the head because your opponent turns away is not dirty. If you aim a punch at the side of someone's ribs and they turn away then it's not dirty to hit them in the kidney, because what are you supposed to do, stop throwing punches?

Yeah some people just refuse to give credit to Hatton. I aint one of Hatton's biggest fans but I can still see his bodyshot was one of the best KO's of the year and as you say the intial contact was completly legal and some posters need to get over it.

Hatton had a 3 fight contract with HBO, its now over. If he fights Mayweather it will be on HBO, if he fights anyone else I can see him going Showtime as HBO have been terrible and done Hatton no favours.
