Does HATTON hit that hard or did Castillo not want to fight?

[Maxy]

It's all about the mindframe. If you have nothing to fight for why fight your best. I think the shot was legit and put him down but JLC was looking for a way out of there after testing what Hatton had to offer.

Which is surely a testament to Hatton's ability isn't it?

dr hatton said he broke jlc ribs, thats it, then some of you morons took that as gospel. if it was true it would of been all over the place dont you think? great promotional material for hatton and his upcoming bout?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

there has been no official reports or articles stating jlc suffered those injuries on any sites or in any publications, in fact i dont think there has even been mention of it. im also fairly certain castillo wouldnt be fighting this soon if he had

Paulie,

Have you noticed how quickly and firmly that the Hatton groupies will seize on to any rumour that appears to benefit their guy?...and turn that rumour in to stone cold fact?


And put the burden of proving a negative on YOU?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Well, if you don't have anything else to rely on?? Castillo never denied it...at least I've never seen evidence that he did. So, it appears you are just wanting to believe what you want to believe, and not the only evidence that seems to be out there at this time. Objectively, there is some evidence to support the contention, and no evidence to contradict it.

WHERE IS THAT EVIDENCE?

[Maxy]

There is no conclusive proof if he sustained broken ribs or not. Hatton said he did. Castillo hasn't denied it.

Either way there is no proof.

But it was a cracking body shot.

WHERE IS THAT EVIDENCE?

Ask Maxy. I really don't think it's that important one way or the other. I'm just going by what's been reported. I understand it may or may not be hearsay. But, you are the big researcher on the board. Why don't you find something that will clarify the issue if it means that much to you? Fair enough?

Or, a testament to the realities of where a 34 yr old fading boxer with major financial troubles and a recently deceased brother is in his life.

I guess we are siz weeks away from seeing which was which. We'll look at it retrospectively on Dec 9th.

Wiley,

You state definitively that there is evidence. I ask you for the evidence. You send me elsewhere.

Mental note.

Broken rib or not.....was it a good shot?

Yes it most definitely was.

Don't misrepresent what I say so it will suit your needs. I said that the only evidence presented may or may not be hearsay (ie..Maxy's post). But, it's all we have right now. It's surely not enough to conclusively say anything about broken ribs, but it's all we have. That's all. If you want more, then go and find it. I personally don't care one way or the other. It was a great body shot anyway you look at it. And, Castillo had everything to gain by beating Hatton. It would have put him back on top. So stop with the bull**** about Castillo's motivation. It's BS on your part and you know it.
