You know in the back of my head I think that's definetly possible... Castillo looked like he's on the slide on saturday, no doubt... But then I think, even if that were the case and he can't manage to fight much better then that, Hatton still gassed out badly in the late rounds in his fight, there's NO WAY he can afford to do that against Castillo. Hatton was basically able to tie up and coast through the last 4 rounds against urango, and by the sounds of his corner he may have been in trouble if he had been made to fight hard those rounds.. THat's what Castillo can make him do, for sure.. His body attack will still be there and Hatton can't take any rounds off in this fight, or he'll pay HUGE.
Yeah totally agree. But I think Hatton only gassed because he was inactive for too long. If he comes into the fight fit, like in the old days (2 years ago) I cant see him getting beat. The body shots could well be a problem for him though..
