Thread: Anyone here like me picking castillio to beat hatton?

I am predictiong a castillo win I think he will be right there all the way and hatton will fade down the stretch

I like Castillo but he doesnt have the same power at this weight and backing Hatton up is hard enough to do. I think hell have some early sucess, but I have no doubt that Hatton will come out on top. Castillos experience may be the only way he can go all 12 rounds imo, but well see. He does have a shot.

I wanna pick him, but I saw his last fight and he looked a bit off. If he comes in off a good training camp I think he can stop Hatton if he works the body early like he usually does. Ricky really got slowed when Urango hit him some good body shots. No reason to think Castillo wouldnt be up for this one. He may have overlooked Ngoudjo, I had him losing that fight.

If you really pick Castillo and believe in it then I want a SIG BET!

I like Castillo by UD.

Hatton has really been preparing his body for Castillo's body shots.....no way he loses on account of that. Not with castillo at 140.

Castillo will give a good fight and I dont think hatton will impress. But I think hatton will win UD.

I don't think either one will get knocked down. It will be an entertaining fight though

Probably a lot of wrestling and bumping. Castillo gonna get frustrated cause hatton will tie him up all night long.

I am going out on a limb by saying castillo by KO 10th round

Castillo stops him in 8

Anything is possible, Castillo is a tough guy and I think he will have settled into weight for this fight. If Rick is in the form he was before and around the Tszyu fight he wins, otherwise Castillo may take him apart in the later rounds. It's hard being a fan of both fighters I honestly never expected to see them face off.

I think its a 50/50 fight, it could go either way. A little off topic, is it a PPV fight? Because they're showing it on TSN (basic cable) here.

No, it's a regular HBO fight, not PPV.

By the way, does TSN usually show fights on delay? (I assume you're in Canada if you're talking about TSN.)
I was in Montreal the night of the Miranda-Pavlik, Taylor-Spinks card, and TSN was showing the fights, but it was on an hour delay.

Hatton stops Castillio early 4 maybe 5 rounds , should be exciting match

You really think so? How do you see the fight panning out mate?

hatton will surprise castillo with first his speed and power, then his fitness, the only way castillo wins is by default,Ricky to win round 10 TKO
