Hatton v JLC how will the fight go ?

[Wacko3205]

Ricky hatton i think has to go after him , even tho this is dangerous , if he backs off like his last 2 fights i think JLC will stop Ricky with body shots.
I think he has to stick close as againest Kostya , head on chest and punch for all hes got cos if he doesnt hurt JLC he looses for me , if he fights like this then he wins in 10.
wot do you guys think

Honestly...I'm starting to lean toward Castillo...not sure why...but I just think that he's talkin some serious smack.

Castillo will punish Hatton like he's never been punish before.

Castillo will punish Hatton like he's never been punish before.

I tend to agree with ya, Castillo's gonna put Hatton in a position he's never been in before. And I don't think Hatton will be able to stand up to Castillo's assault! Castillo will end it late!!!

Honestly babe...I'm inclined to agree with you & again...lean towards Castillo.

If Castillo comes in at the mark...on weight & not strained...this will be a great fight.

I would love to see Hatton get bulled & mauled as he has so many of the 3rd & 4th tier no hopers & journeymen that he has emboldened his record with.

Alright...that's it...I can't change my vote...but you two have swayed my prediction. That was pretty easy, right?

About as easy as CuteMick in an "after hours weiner skinning disco party"!

10 to 1 odds on Mick's favorite pickup line in a gay bar?

"Pardon me thir...can I push in your stool?"

Heh heh heh heh. Gotdam that was guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh-ross!

Anywho, all gut checks aside...I say that Castillo is going to surprise eveyrone with his inside game. I think Castillo's just going to be physically stronger...even though he's movin up. Those uppercuts & blistering left hooks that go up & down like a jack hammer are gonna shock the fwock outta Hatton.

I could be wrong...but...well...the anticipations killin me.

i don't see why so many are so high on hatton. he's like a bull in a china shop. i don't see him winning. i feel castillo will box him and make hatton pay , for every hatton bull rush. don't be surprised if this is an easy fight for castillo. making hatton look like a dope.

[Klitsfan]

Castillo will beat Hatton, he looks in great shape and not drained like Hatton did at the weigh in.I will say Castillo by split decision.

Sorry about this guys n gals but as you no my ability to be impartial and objective usually flies out the window a day or so before the fight....Ricky's high pace, volume and variation of punches should stiffle Castillo's slight edge in power.....I see Hatton Circling anti-clockwise a lot to avoid the left hook to the body from Castillo, possibly utilising the jab more than in recent fights....Alternatively Ricky could benefit from an almost mike tyson like straight bee-line toward Castillo, defending using mostly evasion, setting up his quick hook/uppercut combos......Let's go Hatton~!!!!!

[El Gamo]

I think JLC will have his moments during the fight. I just don't think he will be able to sustain it. I also don't think he has the power to hurt Hatton. I shall be rooting for JLC though,especially after all the nonsense regarding his pay!

[smashup]

It's a real PICK EM this one and could go either way.
Still going for Hatton tko 11th but JLC has to tools to put him on his a**.
Castillo has fought ONCE in TWO years and that is a massive factor

[katfight]

i'm sayin Hatton in 7 or 8 (if he doesnt hug all night)
I agree that Castillo has the tools to hurt Hatton but i think Hatton gonna get it

Castillo has awsome body attack
but so does Hatton just want him to get that kinda fighting back for this fight
Castillo has said he'll fight toe to toe with Hatton and thats the type of fight i wanna see

Castillo doesnt have it easy making the weight either

After the Urango fight , people were very harsh on Hatton saying he is nowhere bear teh fighter he was , he hasnt got the stamina or energy anymore and he isnt exciting . . Ricky cant afford another lackluster display so I expect to see teh best of him . We'd all like to see him bully Castillo and make it a brawl , but if he cant do that he has a boxing brain to fall back on . Castillo hasnt and Ricky will run away with it on points .

Energy Fighter Hatton tries to surprise non-intimidated Castillo with his petrol-motion, volleys of punches and quick feet and body feints early on. Weight drained JLC tries to sap Ricky's energy grabbing, going down at the clinch, holding and nailing Ricky on the blind side of the ref instead of landing well timed counters and jabbing the way Ricky comes in... Castillo gets over-confident on his own conditioning and experience to overcome Hatton later so does absolutely nothing until the mid stage - suddenly Castillo fights back hard and lands heavy shots, big guns and well placed combos during one round and a half from the 6th on and to turn it around but finds himself depleted and running desperately out of steam - Hatton puts on a 2nd win and a 2nd gear, drives JL to the ropes and pounds him with eye-catching blows and meaty body attacks as JL leans back on the ropes and the ref saves him from further punishment somewhere in the 9th, no knockdowns, plenty of low blows and points deductions, complaints and controversy on the stoppage...

Dat is if Ricky doesn't take the Gladiator stuff 4 real and simply tries to steamroll JLC out of the ring and clashes heads brutally with him as both bully and dirty fighter move against each other head first - that would be a no contest, bloody heads and plenty of stitches and boos echoing across LV. They are about to collide anyway so why did they build this as "Gladiators" ? Helmets should have been allowed...
