If Castillo drops him in 2, I will be very surprised, but its always a possibility. I wouldnt make any excuses about that. Castillo is a fine fighter with a proven track record.

I just think he has struggled big time against a no name, been on long layoffs and has has weight issues. Arguably he is stepping out of his depth. Hatton looked fine until his corner reigned him in. And against a big monster too! Despite what you say VD, who is knocking out Urango? I for one did not expect Hatton to knock out Urango.

You thought he should but I think you were in the minority. You will be in the minority of a Castillo fight too. Good Luck!!

I don't want to know why it happened. I want personal opinions. How will miles look at Hatton? Was he overrated? Over-hyped? Just not good enough? What?
I will say Hatton was underrated by a certain group on this site. I dont think he loses to Castillo. I think at this stage in their careers Castillo is almost brought to the stage as the older man making way for the new generation...

Castillo has a punchers chance, but I really dont see a slug fest...
A puncher's chance You're talking like Hatton is just miles better than Castillo. If Castillo can put some decent body work in, it will change the fight. JLC has more than a puncher's chance. With his excessive holding, you can bet that the refs will warn Ruiz...ehem...I mean Hatton that they will deduct a point if he continues to clinch.
