Good Morning Y'All.
I have set this topic up to invite those of you who thought Hatton was boring, inaffective, dull, overhyped, average...etc, to comment on last night's performance. Are you still doubters??? Or do you have any humble pie to eat.
...and i you still have your doubts, what does he have to do now to make you a believer ???
Similarly, for those of you who have stck by 'the fat man' - take the stage! Hatton is a Mancunian Warrior and that was a fookin impressive performance !!!
Wow is this guy gonna get the hammer..... ;D
Yea i watch it live and Ricky was good , didnt see round 4 ending :)
I have nearly every Hatton fight so no one can tell me he is boring etc.
This was the Ricky Hatton I know.
This Ricky Hatton is the Tazmanian Devil I am use to seeing.
He was on point with his body shots tonight.
The final body shot was loud as a son of a biatch, I am sure Castillo will be pissing blood for a month. I know Castillo has something broken back there. I just know it!
Another great body puncher.
I was hoping Ricky would eat Castillo alive and he did.
Great win.
Im a Hatton fan but his last two bouts did underwhelm me...this was Ricky back in his element again.Quote:

Same as Danny G I have nearly all Hattons fights on DVD & I knew after the last few underpar performances that he was gonna be back to his distructive best. Ive only had about an hours kip but I just cant sleep im still buzzing!!Quote:

This is just the start as well baby, the super fights are coming. He might have to fight Malignaggi first, which would probably be another great showcase for "the fat man", but the big fights are coming. Could you imagine Hatton v Mayweather in MGM or Thomas & Mack? Or Hatton v Cotto in the Garden? It's the stuff that dreams are made of.
Got it bang on, but Corralis was struggling with weight. It was pretty obvious what would happen, Ricky Hatton is a good fighter make no mistake, it was a case of aclimateization, this time they got it right.
Now i pray Mayweather grows some nuts and gets in there with Ricky and see how he can hold him off for 12 rounds on the backfoot !
One punch finish of the year!
Hatton looked locked in the strength dispairty was obvious from the 1st round and despite the Commentators having kittens about Ricky Hatton staying in Range the fighter knows himself where he feels comfortable !
Top Job i couldnt believe Hatton hit such an accomplished Mexican a veteran of over 60 fights with a left hook and kept him down !
Unreal better than Mayweather and Dela Hoyas tickle me then ill tickle you contest by a million miles a big fight that lived up the hype !
Kelly Pavlik , Ricky Hatton and Carl Froch the men to lead boxing into a new era !
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH baby yeah !
He looked pretty good but I still don't like his style much. Leaderman summed it up pretty much when he called him 'Hook and Hold' Hatton, should be his nickname rather than the Hitman I think lol.
Castillo looked awful. I said before he was washed up and Ricky would win easily, but I didn't see it ending as early as it did.
I still think Floyd tap dances on Hatton's ass and I'm not sure how he'd handle Malignaggi or Witter either.
Like Kosta Tyszu he got Castillo at the right time.
Still I'll say this much for him. He is one of the most consistent performers out there. He always gives 100% and can always be relied upon to bring it. I don't think he has the talent to beat any of the top guys at 147 lbs but he's certainly maximised his potential.
And there's no doubt he's a class act as a man, you gotta love him really.
He was wayyyyyy off with his remark about Floyd though! Give me a Floyd Mayweather technical performance over Hatton's Ruizesque grappling style any day of the week
Stopping Castillo in the 4th round was a great result for Hatton but until he landed that finishing body shot i did'nt see anything different from Hatton he was still bulldozing in did'nt really use the jab he was hurt a good few times to the body by Castilo out of the 3 low blows i thought only 1 was low really Ricky was moaning to the ref like a little girl he said he wanted a tear up.Anyway as i was saying he was just bulldozing in and he threw a few punches and then held the holding was frusrating to watch why does he throw a few punches on the way in and then hold.He should move more keep abit more distance then he would'nt have to hold it makes him look scrappy the result was agreat result for Hattons record but he was getting caught quite abit i did'nt think he changed in anyway i dont find him exciting to watch i find him frustrating all the grappling and holding he does'nt have to do that he should only really hold when hurt.Im not a Hatton fan but good result now he has to go back upto Welterweight because thats where the big fights are i would like to see Hatton vs Cotto next.
Watch the fight again, Hatton was ripping him with a lot of powerful shots, in all 4 rounds, Castillo got some bombs in too it was lot of action for 4 rounds, and there was barely any holding.Quote:

Hatton on this form is the fighter supreme it's going to take a very good man to beat him .
Mayweather might get a decision but he'd never engage Hatton and to be honest part of me doesn't want Hatton's legacy to be tarnished by Mayweathers amatuer backpedalling please dont hit me tactics !
Hatton - Cotto has got to be made !
Mayweather is just a load of old toss give me Cotto any day of the weak it will be like a clash of the titans him and Hatton snarling ripping and smashing at each other !
Leave Mayweather to fight somebody who's lost 2 of his last 3 or somebody who use to be quite good ast 2 weights below and let him eak out a decision all whilst Ricky Hatton is trailblazing to victory and leaving his name scorched in the earth in 200 ft long letters .
Mayweather- queen of the dance-Mini me !
Hatton -lord of war -tour de force- man of fire - hitman-take no prisoners-give em hell-humble the greats -True Titan destined for Valhalla

Ok
I'm agreeing with Danny-G this is definatly the Ricky Hatton we know from past!
On friday i left a post saying that although Castillo was a great body puncher where ppl forgetting that so was Ricky Hatton?
And that i hoped we got to see that on fight night and indeed we did
To be honest i'd like to have seen this one go on for a little longer but that punch
lol
everytime i think bout it i am smiling and goose bumps are coming back
8) 8) :o :o
