Remember this boxing saying? "A good boxer always beats a slugger, a slugger always beats a volume puncher and a volume puncher always beats a boxer"

its not always true but in this case it could be!
i was impressed with the first half of hattons last fight. but not his opposition and the fact he fights twice a year.

some fighters fight betta as they move up in weight and take their power and more up with them in weight. e.g James Toney, Cotto etc..
thats why i think castillo will give ricky hatton fits and may be the harder puncher.

if this is a shoulder to shoulder affair, i wont be surprised if hatton gets caught cold by castillo. castillo is the slugger, hatton the volume puncher. hatton will throw 4 good punches, castillo may come back with 2 harder punches.

you can expect hatton to go down in this one. I cant wait. i dont think hatton has ever faced a castillo? if this goes to decision with hatton just absorbing everything the harder hittin (imo) castillo has to offer then he wins cos most likely he will throw and land more. unless he really hurts and breaks hatton down early on and slows him down, intimidates him from throwing punches.

hopefully its a good night of boxing!
