    I believe he was hurt, but he used it to take himself out of the fight....similar to what DLH did against Bhop. Castillo didn't look as if he was in pain while Cortez was counting. He just sat there with a blank look. Funny thing, in the first 20 seconds of the fight I told my boys that Castillo looked strange and questioned if he was even motivated, since he'll be basically fighting for free.

    No...but I believe that he knew he was going to be in a very tough fight and thought "Why should I fight, when I might not even get paid for it".

    His name is Carlos, so it's entirely possible. :lol:

    Of course he was blank you don't screw up your face and bang on the floor (hem) when you have been hit with a shot like that you just freeze, anyone who has been hit in the nuts knows that freezing feeling where you just stand stock still with your eyes wide open, it landed perfectly and was cleaner than a vegans steak knife.

    Thats different to a dive though and more about desire to fight on.

    That punch hurt, look at Castillo's face when it landed. Castillo clinched his side, spun around a circle then went down.

    Because losing is going to cost you a lot more in future earning potential than what you would make for that fight. He just got nailed with a massive body shot that took his lliver and his heart away. He got beaten by the better guy.

    No dive here folks, Castillo is a warrior and he wouldn't go out like that. He even had that delayed reaction thing that those types of shots usually produce.

    If Cotto would of landed that shot, it would of been Ko of the year, wouldnt it Carlos? Hatton landed it, so it was time to think of an excuse.

    :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

    Hatton won fair and square, Castillo IS STILL A WARRIOR, a man who gave one of the most legendary performances of all time vs Corrales. Many fighters have been taken out with liver shots and it's not a fairy tale. Saying its a dive is disrespectful to what happened and both fighters.


    Hatton's the CHAMP and JLC was a great fighter and forever a warrior, NO DISRESPECT IN THAT WHATSOEVER.

    It is completely irrelevant.

    What matters is that Hatton disposed of another contender, and remains unbeaten.

    I think it was like more of Morales in his 3rd fight with Pac than than of Dela Hoya.

    He knew it would be a very, very long, night of receiving joyless beating and abuse from a fresh and relentless fighter who wants nothing but to beat the hell out of him. The problem was, he could not do anything about it.:yep
