I strongly beleive this will be Castillo going out party with a bang...this fight wil not go the distance, and finally we will see that if Hatton faces an opponent that will not give up to his antics and is as tough as he is , he will not end up in the winning side... I like Castillo by KO 11th.....
Castillo has already said he needs this fight and a few more before he can afford to retire. And that he needs to win this one to up his purses.
I just don't see Ricky getting Ko'd. Think if JLC wins, it'll have to be a tough fought SD. I'm just hoping for a great fight, which this has the potential to be.
I believe you're right, Castillo is now 33 and have 53 fights. If he loses this one I seriously think he should call it quits in the sport. Enjoy life out of the ring.
JLC style faired great against Hatton, and lets not forget that Castillo can box move well and he has a granite chin.....Hatton's chin will be tested, and if you taught that Chico's face was disfigured , Hatton will cut on this fight he will bleed a lot and will lose by TKO in the 11th....either not answering the bell or plain overwhelm by Castillo;s work rate......
Tough as Castillo is, I dont think that Hatton will KO him, but he will knock him about in the ring. I don't think Castillo can fight these kind of top matches anymore, and come out successful. Wide UD or maybe TKO Hatton.
:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: NO WAY. I cannot believe me eyes Orishaman is picking someone to beat Hatton....is this a dream? Oh hang on, are you the same Orishaman who picked Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo and Urango by KO? You are? Oh right, apologies.
Just because Castillo is highly motivated for this one and "NEEDS" to win it, doesn't mean he will; Hatton is highly motivated to win this one, too. Thus, the better boxer will take it.
I think people are forgetting that Castillo is the guy moving up. Hatton is super strong at 140lb and Castillo is gonna feel that strength. Castillo is one of my favourite fighters but I have a feeling Hatton is going to destroy him... badly. SnR
If Castillo wins i'm sure we are going to see Castillo Cotto in a few months if not i don't think we are going to see Hatton vs Cotto in a near future.
