I like castillo winning via tko 8th round.
He don't need to beat Castillo in dominating way. He just needs to beat him. This is his best and most recognized opponent since Tszyu. If he wins a hard war with JLC, he will increase his value and reputation. This is a great fight for both guys. Castillo needs to win or he will be considered over the hill. Hatton needs to win or he will be considered exposed. They are fairly evenly matched, and both are motivated. Either way, the winner comes out in great position for his next fight. It has all the makings of a great fight. Hatton doesn't need to dominate him. Just winning will give him momentum.



It could backfire on Hatton if Castillo wants to make a fight of it and Hatton tries to smother too much making it an ugly fight.
