Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
Hatton is gonna be up for this fight big time! I'am going for Hatton to stop him late in the fight.I think this fight has come at a good time for Hatton the douters are starting to creep in and take a digs at him so motivation will not be a problem and the fact that Castillo is a big name that he will lose to if he's not at his best.Also Ricky has been inactive for a long time in between fights so he has been putting on the pounds but he is'nt gonna have time cause he only fought in January so that can only be a good thing for the hitman.
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
Maybe Hatton just ain't that good so what he beat an old Kostya after hugging him for 5 rounds alot of people thought Collazo nicked it and at least deserved a draw then Mosely stud Collazo on his head so that shows how good Hatton is he is'nt in the same league as Mosely and Mayweather etc maybe Hatton will make Castillo submit with a bear hug
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
or maybe he'll maintain a fighting weight for the next 4 months and actually arrive less drained and gaunt than before. Losing 30lbs in a few months is nowhere near ideal preparation.
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
I think Hatton will win this, and i aint even a big Hatton i just have a feeling it has Hatton decision all over it. Thing with Castillo is you have to be brave to right him off.
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
I hate to be so negative because I'm also looking forward to this fight but it's been scheduled a few years too late. Castillo may not have it anymore and will struggle to even show up at 140 and have anything left. Hatton will start strong, then be average in the second half and be allowed to "john ruiz" his way through it. I hope the undercard is good.
Castillo in 10.

I hope so coz I am a massive Hatton fan.
hatton may win, but no way he bullies JLC. that guy comes to fight and he will be in hatton's face the whole time bringing it. hatton better bring his A-game or he is gonna get a serious ass whipping. i think castillo is far more experienced and has a better defense. that's why i pick him to win this fight but i think it's gonna be good.

As have already said I am a massive Hatton fan coz he is a down to earth bloke in a sport full of super egos.
I hope Hatton does a number on him but like I said "I got a bad feeling"
Hope you are right and I am wrong on this one. :o
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
One thig is for sure even if both are shot at the weight both will hurt the other !!
Ricky has not pushed on since the KT fight but maybe ( fingers crossed ) he'll by up for this one .
JLC a modern great ( unlike Fat James Toney ) is not the fighter he was but he still has the power and Hatton sometimes Hatton is impossible to miss .
Sounds like an odd thing to say on my part but i believe that Hatton has to get into the trenches with JLC straight away make it along night !
Ricky is a good fighter on the outside he has good footwork and lovely skills but i believe if he has to change tac mid fight it could go wrong for him and Ricky is going to go to war at sometime.
All important is momentum and Ricky is not a one punch finisher
I have a horrible feeling JLC will come in overweight

nah mate, you dont beat guys like Oliveira, Tackie, Tszyu, Magee and Philips if your shit. You dont get past guys like that,guys who have real quality, unless your good. I'm not trying to big up ricky opposition coz I know its not stellar, but still ricky would've been exposed long before now if he was shit. The holding stuff isn't a good sign, but I just think Hatton was being cynical in the Urango and Collazo fights, against Tszyu he was tactically perfect, he never let Kostya get his right-hand go and constantly disrupted his timing by being in his face all night long smothering him. You dont wanna risk walking into punches against a guy who hits like Tszyu. Its not pretty but its good tactics.
When he wants to though Ricky can fight toe-to-toe, and against someone who he is naturally stronger than he'll be able to take a few more risks. You can never write off Castillo, he's a top guy, but I favour Hatton for this fight big time. I think America is gonna see some vintage hatton on the night of the 23rd and I hope that will shut a few critics up.

Vintage Hatton what more hugging and holding i think Castillo is past it but i hope he pulls it off
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
I said it at the beginning,when the fight was announced,and I'll say it now.Hatton wins(although I want JLC to win). I don't think JLC carries his power,Hatton seems stronger,younger and just more intense at this age. People say Hatton has looked bad in his last 2 fights:
Collazo-147,southpaw,slick,awkward.
Urango-tune up,Hatton wanted to take it easy and still won every round and Urango hits very hard for the weight.
JLC-will stand in front of Hatton,is moving up,60 plus pro fights,most of them wars,etc. Hatton will look good in this fight and win although like I said,I'll be rooting for JLC for sure.

Whats that all about, El Gamo?! ::** ;D
Re: I got a bad feeling that Hatton is going to get KO'd on the 23rd!!!
i will be surprised if hatton gets beaten on the 23rd.
i think the theory stateside is that hatton is a one dimensional slugger who cant box
the guy has underrated boxing skills and showed against urango that he can get the job done against a puncher without needing to look great
i think hatton on the 23rd will hustle castillo but also employ the same smart tactics. its another fight that I reckon will go the distance but hatton will win it handily.

Agreed. Hatton will most likely not go into a war unless at times pushed. He will use movement and box, I just hope he doesnt get negative towards the end. He needs to show he can still work in those last 4 rounds again!!
