Totally disagree.

80%. The man was in the fight...I just don't buy that.

Hatton & Castillo deserve better than that.
Go back and watch the Castillo-Mayweather fights or the Castillo-Corrales fights and compare the hand and foot speed as compared to tonight.

Speed and reflexes are the first things that go when a fighter loses it. Castillo looked like he was moving in slow motion from the opening bell.
Yes...the man is on the slide...but people & HBO were talkin about him like he was laying on a gotdam autopsy slab...or better yet...Arturo Gatti. Castillo is a slow starter & began to come on.

Castillo vs Corrales was very close to the same pace. Sorry but it was...Hatton is twice as fast as either man...& I know that you didn't bring up the Mayweather fight...that fight was more than 5 or 6 years ago.

Again...Hatton & Castillo deserve better than that.
Look at it this way wacko, even in his prime, Castillo would be KO'd by Hatton, it would just happen alittle later in the fight, so I'm not one of these guys saying Castillo would have won if he was in his prime, but face facts, he is shot.
