NO WAY is JLC washed up.I just want to point that out in case it is brought up or used as an excuse or anything else.

I wouldn't call him washed up. He seemed lathargic and a bit puny though.

As for Hatton, he is an A-/B+ fighter. He fought the right opponents in the beginning (even shadowing Kostya's foes for a while) and gained my respect when he made Tszyu QUIT in a fight that I thought was as close as the scorecards revealed.

agreed fight was close after 11 rounds i think hatton was only 1 round ahead 2 at most kostya should of tried to of fought on

but who am i to say i wernt feeling what kostya was feeling maybe he was in agony and had nothing left

He was 1 ahead on one card, 3 on another i think and 5 on one.-

yes i know mate im just saying what i had it at if kostya would of gone full 12 there could of been possible rematch because i think it hurt kostyas pride that he had to quit

JLC isn't washed up, but certainly is past his prime. I think any fight now it's going to start showing. Numbers dont lie: 33 years old, 62 fights, 7 losses.


Castillo is a durable guy, but like with Tszyu it seems like Hatton is going to catch him at just the right time in his career where something is starting to slide a little. I dont know if that will be the case with castillo, but based on his failure to make weight for corrales III and his last performance against ngoudgo (sp) it seems like he is losing some of the fire.
