I really reckon Urango is worth a bet, as Hatton may have nothing left by fight night in makig weight. If that is the case it is a disgrace and he should show the sport some more respect.

I think he will get through Urango but not Castillo, not if he shows the lack of boxing skills he did against Maussa / Collazzo.
Exactly, normally he takes 3 to 4 months between fights, which means the extra weight only stays on him for a short time. But he's been out of the ring for what, 5, 6 months so I think it's gonna be much harder for him to shift the weight. I don't doubt that he'll do it, but I think he will lose some of his zip and endurance. I got it 50/50, although it remains to be seen as to how Castillo fares at 140 - will he even make the weight?
