Fake KO

[Lance Uppercut]

I don't think it was, but Hatton's ko of Castillo looked suspicious. I think what happened was Castillo realized he didn't have a chance and just stayed down; especially given all the bullshit surrounding that fight I could understand if he just wanted to get out of there.

to true saddo tradition shall we all just say that every single ricky hatton knockout has indeed been due to match fixing

ricky is infact a greengrocer from darlington who is about as handy with a pair of gloves than zelenoff is!!!

This place used to have more Hatton fans than any other site I have ever seen, the fanboyism was near that of Pacquiao today, they just all disappeared on Dec. 9, 2007 for some reason.

No one said Castillo took a dive, only that it looked like he might have decided not to get back up after getting dropped. He wasn't getting paid, after that shot he probably knew he couldn't win, so maybe he just stayed down. I'm not sure that is what happened, but plenty of people said they felt that was the case after the fight.

People who have never fought before cannot understand how truely devastating a perfectly place body punch can be. I think it is really something you need to have experienced.

I've been hit hard in the liver before and it is a debilitating feeling.

All I've been talking about in this thread is how the Castillo KO might have appeared, I'm not saying I think he took a dive or that he quit necessarily, onlt that he appeared to know he was beaten and that it looked like he might have stayed down as a result. It is something I have heard before and I can understand why some people might feel that way. Hatton landed a series of bodyshots in the fourth round, I'm sure Castillo was in a bad way.

edit: After watching the final round again, I do think it was a legitimate knockout, but I remember think it suspicious at the time.
