    It was a damn good fight for as long as it lasted. Castillo's history shows that he comes on strong later in the fight - so props to Hatton for getting the stoppage before the late rounds. I certainly wasn't expecting that. Good fight.

    After absorbing a body shot, Castillo decided he did not want to fight anymore. I would not call that taking a dive, quitting is probably a more accurate description of Castillo's behavior.

    Why isn't Catillo getting paid? I haven't heard this.

    of course I give him credit...I'm not saying that hatton would'nt get the TKO anyway...I'm talking specifically about the bodyshot...and his motivation at that moment.

    Took a dive?, come on!
    He was caught and that was it, definitely not the first time it happens in boxing.

    Thank you for your answer.

    Final question that I have is.....Do you really think the outcome of this fight would have been different if JLC had not had those small issues he had before the fight?

    No, I don't think it would've been different..except for the length. Also I don't think Castillo should be fighting at 140.

    Castillo took a brutal left hook to the liver, so if thats what you mean by taking a dive, then yea, perfect 10. If you had ever been punched in the liver you know its debilitating.

    Do you think he should be fighting at 147 instead? He cannot fight at 135 anymore. Should he retire now?

    Hatton's just the better fight at 140.
