Hatton for me, though Castillo is always dangerous.
Exactly. I knew that all Hatton needed to step up his game and give everyone a fight worth watching was a good name and great venue.
Hatton needs to shine. He has had 2 sub par performances. The critics have their knives sharpened. He needs to look good. Hopefully, it will be a fight where Hatton is pushed to perform.
That's exactly what I thought. He needs to win while pleasing the fans , otherwise he's going to have a hard time finding a good fight in US again.
He's in Vegas for the first time so he needs to give the crowd another superb performance.
His fight against Urango was in Vegas.

You're right Castillo IS NO KT, after all Castillo has never touched the mat.
Re: Hatton says Castillo fight will be like Tszyu battle
Ask Corrales about JLC never touching the mat he would beg to differ. Hattons all hype though this kid is so everrated beacause of a fight he won 2 years ago against an over the hill KT who was fighting his last fight. What have u done for us lately ricky ? oh look like crap against 2 c level fighters(Collazo, and Urango).

KT never lost seven times either. Hatton will win this easily.

collazo and urango was champs at two different divisions.. far from c rated fighters ..... journeyman are c rated fighters
no other jr. welter could beat them two in consecutive order which is never mentioned.. i'm not saying he put on great performances but believe me if he smokes castillo those performances will all be forgotten as an anomaly and he will probably jump to possibly top 5 p4p

This is what I am thinking. Alot of people think Castillo's experience will win him the fight, but Hatton is not inexperienced at all. So he knows how to fight top guys and he has good skills. I think Hatton wins a late knockout like I said earlier. Castillo will be outclassed.
Re: Hatton says Castillo fight will be like Tszyu battle
This fight is going to be decided by ricky hattons attitude on the night. Should Ricky arrive fully motivated to fight to his potential he will win this fight and in a convincing fashion. I would suspect an Attritional Tko somewhere in the regions of 8-11.
However if ricky comes in with the negative attitude he showed against Collazo or in the later half of the Urango fight, castillo will take his oppurunity to capatilise and snatch rounds perhaps taking the decision.
I'm hoping and praying Ricky is well up for this one.
Re: Hatton says Castillo fight will be like Tszyu battle
I can't say how the fight will be like cause I am not a fortune teller and neither is Ricky ;). But one thing I can tell and that is that the all scenario for this one is quite different from the Manchester 2005 fight, Ricky is not an up-coming Light Welter hungry Title challenger but a former two time IBF Light Welter Champ and a meaningless IBO Light Welter Titlist now, both Hatton and Castillo are fighting for the right to meet the Top fighters one divison up in weight and they will not definitely stay at 140 lbs no matter who wins this one, and finally Jose Luis Castillo in 2007 is a very different fighter from the opponent Kostya Tszyu presented in 2005... All factors mentioned are xtremely important here but to abbreviate, I would say that Ricky will come out charging in with sharp short left hooks like against Collazo or against Urango and close the range but when he gets to know he really can't do anything else but to tag Jose Luis first and stay, he'll get much more defensive from that point on... I don't believe Castillo can win but I also can't see Ricky going for all or nothing here when there are big money fights ahead of him with a simple win ( he can stretch himself against Cotto, Mosley or Mayweather) - the only thing that may be different from his last two outings is that he may not grab and immobilize his opponent so much and fight a lil bit more inside.
Re: Hatton says Castillo fight will be like Tszyu battle
i can only see this fight bein on the inside this is where hatton and castillo like to be. thats why i think it cant be a bad fight i have great respect for both fighters but i just see hatton bein to strong for castillo. as for hatton bein up for this fight im sure he will castillos a big name and if hatton loses (which im certain he wont) then i dont no what he will do. i think this his his last fight of his three fight deal with hbo. will they renew his contract. that aside im goin for a hatton stoppage between 9-12. it wouldnt surprise me if hatton dropped castillo for the first time either.but either way the fight gos u no these two great fighters will go out on there shield if they have to.THIS IS WAR
