I honestly think we could see a return to his old ways when Hatton faces Castillo this year.
Looking at the pre-fight hype to Hatton v Urango, it is easy to see why the fight was slightly boring and uninspiring. Everyone, including Hatton, knew Urango was the man to hurt Hatton, possibly stop him, if there ever was one. He was forced into taking precautionary measures. He played it safe on saturday night, hugging or no hugging, he won clearly and did what he had to do.
Looking ahead to June, when he is set to face Castillo, although JLC is renound for his chin, toughness and true grit, i doubt, especially after his showing against Ngoujo, that Hatton will exercise the same amount of caution he did on saturday. Hatton will come for a good scrap, n JLC's style will allow Hatton a platform to unload the inside combos and blazin body shots of the old days. Also, with the Urango fight under his belt, i think Hatton may have gained a little momentum and refuelled his desire.
I predict a legendary war, with both fighters coming forward and thriving off eachother, with a late stoppage for Hatton or UD either way.
