Is Castillo shot from so many wars? Will his 33 years weigh on him all of a sudden? Will he be drained from making the weight?

Too many unknowns for me. I'm not a total fan of either, but respect both of them. I'll be rooting for Castillo, but would bet my money on Hatton by stoppage around Round 8-10.
Totally realistic observation, planna. Too many questions either in or out of the ring for the Mexican. If Castillo didn't let those weight on him and thus affect the outcome of this, he would be either mad or desperate... Nothing gives me that indication, he saved ( and disqualified) his brother Ricardo from getting beaten by Caballero in Hollywood, Florida, that, the fact that his own son was at the weigh-in now, everything leads me to say he'll know how to say "No Mas"... But that has nothing to do with Ricky Hatton being the right man at the right time, oh no, Hatton is short, he is sharp but too tight to move and slide, he's pretty much one dimensional and will sweat to live another day and earn another big pay-day... Cotto Hatton is the brawl that gat to happen, rooting all the way for Hatton here, just for that reason...
