    I think alot of Americans will be in for a rude awakening come Saturday if what I suspect will be the Hatton that turns up for the bout against Castillo.I think seeing what Hatton looks like on his ringwalk will tell us alot and also hint on exactly the sort of night Castillo can look forward to,if he is as I think he will be,the same guy who turned up for Tszyu and he is very much looking like that guy,then Castillo could well be in for a long night.There is a couple of reasons Hatton has failed to look as good against both Collazo and Urango whilst still winning I might add.A huge one being the southpaw problem something Hatton has had for a long time in his career,another major factor which is not talked about much is the motivation,which must have been a problem after the Tszyu bout.I think Hatton is motivated for this one,and we will see him again bullying his opponent around the ring feeling much more comfortable fighting an orthodox for the first time in a couple of years.

    He will have to be in top form to beat Castillo, there is no doubt. But if he has problems with the body shots, he is going to lose.

    You bring up a very good point concering the southpaw opponents he's been facing. A point that shouldn't be overlooked. Hatton will feel right at home fighting a righty.

    I think Hatton will win a tough decision.

    Hatton wins by beating the ever loving **** out of Castillo for 12 rounds. Like I said before, you will see a great champion grow very old overnight. Castillo might win 3 rounds...tops.

    Hatton was hurt by bodypunch one ****ing time and suddenly he has "problems with bodypunches"..nonsense!
    I think you will be disapointed because this isn't going to be the tough fight everyone thinks it will be. Hatton will dominate from the opening bell...i'll be on ESB after the fight to discuss the fight but i bet many others (Castillo fans) will be hiding.

    I agree.
    Hatton will be in for a shock.
    Hatton cant put a dent in Castillo.
    Castillo backs him up.
    Castillo walks right thru him.
    Hatton becomes the runner.
    Hatton becomes the catcher.
    Hatton will be looking for a place to lie down.
    Hatton will be happy when the fight is stopped.
    Good bye Ricky Hatton.

    Castillo will Kayo Hatton. After Hatton got the title and the money he hasnt been the same. I dont think his whole heart is in it anymore, hed much rather, sit around eat and drink a few million pounds away

    Hatton's aggressive clinching and dirty tricks will tire out the aging Castillo.

    I won't be surprised if Castillo suddenly becomes "shot" after this fight.

    His old age will show here...

    yes im favoring castillo here.... and i think also that he can stop hatton. hatton is looking a bit drained, and im not using that as an excuse but that DOES go into my prediction. i am favoring castillo ANYWAYS... but hattons looks dont help any.

    that being said.... GO HATTON!!!

    i pray to god he can outwork, outhustle, and get the edge in when needed to win the decision. no way i see him hurting castillo TOO much.

    Actually it's "El Terrible". Castillo being called "El Temible" is simply a myth.

    That makes about as much sense as "temible". I've looked in the dictionary, and it's not even there.
