    ... didn't matter when he landed that perfectly placed body shot.

    Had this gone the distance, there could have been some arguments Castillo was done. His legs looked unstable and he was slow to the punch. That meant little to that Hatton hook. Castillo has never been down and didn't go down b/c of old man legs.

    Castillo cant make the weight, he still has to drain himself greatly to make it. When he didnt make weight against Corrales, he came in at 139. So I think if he does fight again he should goto Welter.

    Hatton was just faster, and he did everything better. He dominated Castillo, and that's what made him look bad.

    Hatton will always be a class above this type of opponent.

    I agree. But that creates a whole new "Castillo Quit" faction.

    Why Hatton doesn't get credit is beyond me.
