    He broke 4 ribs, I doubt anyone can carry on with that.

    The punch was never in question.....Castillo said it was the hardest punch he had ever felt

    The big problem for Ricky is getting Floyd into a position where he can throw those shots...............???

    actually, hatton was hitting that same spot on castillio's body many times w/ the left hook before that KO... could have been more of accumulation of left hook body punches that made castillio quit rather than a single body shot. the broken rib bones may have happened due to numerous hits on that same area of the body.

    Yeh i agree, though the finishing punch was a picture perfect punch, there's no doubt Hatton was throwing and landing that punch alot, its hard to tell whether that one punch broke all 4 ribs.

    Great punch. But yes, Castillo shot. You can tell his skills have eroded.

    That was something the English commentators just didn't pick up on at all. It was Castillo this, Castillo that, Ricky needs to be carefull etc.....I was watching the tele thinking 'a few more of those left hooks to the body and Castillo is ****ed'

    Castillo got a gift decision against an African novice in his fight before Hatton. Yes he was shot. The win was good, but Hatton couldn't do it to Urango or Collazo could he?
