Hatton did an excellent job. No way did I expect him to stop Castillo like that. But he did. Hatton went to the body and hard. Few would want to taste more of that.

Hatton deserves credit. More so for stopping Castillo. Even more so for doing it so quickly.

Castillo did NOT look like a shot fighter. Ive heard it said he looked slow and sluggish. There really is no comparison to the Corrales or Mayweather fights though. Hatton fought at a pace and with an intensity that Mayweather never did with Castillo. Hatton fought at an overwhelming pace and put in body shots that Mayweather cannot match for power. It was brutal. Corrales is also not comparable. Hatton is like a freight train and has those short arms and he is surprisingly quick. Its a different inside game completely....

Castillo is not the fighter he was several years ago but he is still an extremely tough competitor. If he continues as I expect he will, this will show. I dont think anybody else at 140 pounds will actually stop him.
