JLC open workout. Some interesting points:

*And, if estimates are correct the majority of fans attending Saturday night’s bout will be British as well. That’s right! Over 8,000 Brits are said to be descending on the Thomas & Mack Center this Saturday night with their soccer chants in tow to cheer on Manchester’s favorite son. The British Invaders making their way across the pond and to the Nevada desert come expecting a war and Castillo hopes to oblige

* When asked if the fans can expect a war, Castillo said that if Hatton fights like he did against Kostya Tszyu then Saturday night’s championship bout will be a classic for the ages. Castillo did say however that whether Saturday night’s fight is a thriller or a dud will depend on which Hatton shows up. If it is the Hatton that last fought Juan Urango, then the fans might unfortunately have to endure lots of breaks in the action as Hatton is known to have a penchant for holding and clinching. Will it be a classic war Saturday night? "That is up to him and what style he will be using. If he fights like the way he did against Kostya Tszyu it will be a classic," concluded Castillo

* When asked if he would categorize Hatton as a dirty fighter, Castillo answered in the affirmative- “Yes, I would.” Nonetheless, Castillo credited Hatton with being a true champion and having a big heart. “He will do what he has to do to win,” concluded Castillo, “We both will.” Castillo announced that if Hatton uses dirty tactics in Saturday’s fight, he will return the favor declaring: “I am going to fight him however he fights me. If he fights dirty, I will fight dirty. It's up to him."

*Yes, obviously a win here would give either of us that opportunity to fight Mayweather.”
