Stop with the Castillo is a shot fighter routine.

they all pick castillo to "kill" "crush" "destroy" Hatton and then when he loses, well he was shot.
I say **** em they can't take anything away from the Hitman that was a great performance!

 

castillo just got caught.

one of those things.

must be a horrible feeling. :yep

castillo vs judah anyone. :bbb

 

Let me preface this by saying that Castillo gets hit with and knocked out by that body shot regardless if it's the Castillo of 2007, 2005, or 2001.

That being said, it was not only Hatton that made Castillo look like a shot fighter. The evidence was in... the legs. Watch the first round of Corrales-Castillo 1 or 2, and then watch Round 1 of Castillo-Hatton. Notice how unsteady on his legs Castillo looks in the Hatton fight even when not getting touched in comparison to the sturdy Castillo of the Corrlaes fights. Hatton was able to take advantage of that, as he should have, but this was evident even without Hatton imposing his will.

 

Exactly. Now, I was one of those saying that Castillo was on the downside BEFORE the fight - the Hatton haters were challenging that, and saying he'd kick Ricky's ass, etc. I'll tell ya, I thought this fight was gonna be one-sided, but not THAT one-sided. Hatton was impressive - but you'll never hear the haters give him credit.

 

Again, let me reiterate: that in no way detracts from Hatton's victory because the way Hatton won, he could have and would have landed that shot against any version of Castillo, and with the same result.

 

Castillo did not take the fight serious. Hell as soon as he was Ko'd, Castillo said " give me a beer " and a kind fan threw him one.

 

I can't wait until the next boxing4real vid is posted, they said Hatton would be killed anywere between the 6th and the 11th, they also said a while back that they wouldn't be surprised if Hatton dropped out of the fight.atsch

 

Boxing4real picked:
Castillo Kill Hatton
Judah KO Cotto
Briggs KO Ibragimov
Miranda KO 1 Pavlik


When TF is the last time they got a major fight right? Anyone know?

 

Those muppets, dont they get half of their predictions wrong.:rofl

the point is Castillo is no more shot or on the downslide than Judah or De La Hoya. :deal


Thus Hatton should get the same credit as Cotto and Floyd. (Floyd more because he has to move up in weight, but De La Hoya has been crap for three years now)

 

I'm not so sure about that... did you see the position that Castillo put himself in? He's not usually that undisciplined to be able to take that shot, it's like he turned his side to Ricky and said "HIT ME!!!"..

 

Best post yet!
SSfan...this Guinness is for you (it's my 6th) :tired :yep :blurp

 

you say he beat the best version of castillo but castillo was still a dangerous opponent coming into the fight and hatto stopped with a hard body shot. you cant take nothing away from hatton.

 

you are a shot poster...time for you to retire
