Hatton Vs Castillo.....your final predictions

Hatton UD

 

Hatton by late stoppage.

 

Hatton wins a UD based on youth.

I will be rooting for Castillo.

 

Ha people picking Castillo are already making excuses 'If he not shot..' , talk about sitting on the fence, you either think he'll win or you dont.

I think hatton stops castillo tbh, castillo although cleary a natural light welter he hasnt really fought a 140 fighter from the top draw, certainly not anything on Hatton level.

Age is a factor but I dont think he is shot, Castillo hasnt shown to be anymore shot than Ricky has of late.

hatton late round TKO, say round 10.

Also on paper I think this is a very exciting fight and 'maybe' a FOTY candidate, we'l have to wait and see...

 

Respect :good

 

Hatton by UD on a Clinch&Hug-fest.

 

Hatton clear UD 116-112.

 

Hatton will win and this won't be a clinch/hug fest

 

Hatton comes in with his new Ruiz-style of hitting and hugging only to learn that JLC is one of the best inside fighters in the sport. JLC puts his head down, doesn't let Hatton clinch, and goes to work on that body.

After about 3 rounds of back and forth it becomes clear that Hatton, having what, lost 30 lbs in the last 8 weeks to make weight, isn't going to be able to keep up with Castillo. Castillo keeps fighting on the inside and eventually Hatton tires just like he did against Urango. Castillo can now land his great left hook to the body AND to the head.

He might KO Hatton, but he might just win on the cards. Either way, I'm picking JLC to win it.

 

Castillo by KO in round 9

Hatton will try to make it a hug fest, but Castillo wont let that happen as he usually counters or sticks his head out to throw body shots. I hope they will appoint Joe Cortez, Raul Caiz, or even better Steve Smoger who won't easily separate fighters when they are fighting in close.

 

Castillo is going to cut Hattons eyes up and the fight will be stopped :smoke

 

But who will be ahead on the cards at that time...? :tong

 

Hatton UD

 

Castillo by late stoppage. :deal

 

I want Hatton to win being a fellow Brit and I'am no fan of Castillo due to his weight making bs. I just feel that Ricky is not as good and his best chance of victory will come if Castillo is not at his best due to age or physical size. (ie.Hatton is able to bully him.)
