Who impressed more last night?

[Saddo]

After watching the fights again this morning. I was the most impressed by Jose Luis Castillo. After a year off, Castillo comes back at a new weight against an undefeated fighter who fought the fight of his life. Ngoudjo was in the spot light for the first time in his career. He was not going to just lay down. He gave Castillo a fight. And in doing so, he allowed Castillo to get some much needed work in. Castillo wasn't 100% on his game last night. But he dug deep and pulled out the last couple of rounds. Showing that age is not a factor. More importantly was the fact that the body attack was there and that Castillo can go 12 rounds without huffing and puffing. People might think Castillo looked bad last night and that he's past his prime. They think Hatton will walk through him. Let them. This was a good fight for Castillo. Come June there will be no ring rust. Castillo will be 100% on his game. And will see how much Hatton likes them body shots.

Come on be honest VD, if Hatton had fought that kid and put on the exact same performance you would have said he was awful.

I don't think the fight has any bearings on Castillo's future at the weight however, it was just a mediocre performance. I thought he won most of the later rounds to deserve the victory but he certainly didn't impress me.

It wasn't the greatest performance by Castillo, I'll give you that. But keep in mind he's been out for over a year. And his previous fight before that didn't even last 4 rounds. Also unlike Urango, Ngoudjo wasn't made for Castillo. He wasn't slow as lava and didn't just stay in front of Castillo. He was also trying to make in impression. Under those circumstances, I reviewed the fight again. And after originally being disappointed in Castillo, I now look at it as something he needed. He'll benefit more from going 12 rounds than if he would of scored a 2nd round knock out.

alot of people said the same thing after Hatton - Callazo but strangly enough not you
