The official time was 1 minute and 46 seconds of round three. Hatton after the fight dedicated his win to British comedian Bernard Manning who sadly died on Monday.

Way off base on this one. Castillo never went down to Corrales in the first fight. In fact I'm not sure if Jose Luis Castillo has been knocked down at all recently, I know he had some early TKO losses. I don't see Hatton knocking him down. I like JL Castillo in 10, TKO.
