There is a lot of Hatton hating going on here. Basically everyone says either Castillo wins by brutal TKO/KO or Hatton wins by holding, clinching and cheating his way to a controversial SD. So if Hatton stops Castillo or outpoints him by a obvious wide UD what will you all say then??... ...Oh yeah that's it: Castillo was shot/passed it/drained. Jesus, there are some dicks in this forum.
Hatton is gonna win. Castillo is past it. That doesn't take away the fact that Ricky is an elite fighter though.
I dont think this forum is as one sided as you say, in a current running poll Hatton is being picked by about 73% of the people, how can u say people are hating? I am picking Castillo by decision, not because I hate Hatton (he is one of my favorite fighters) but because I think Castillo has more left than people think and he desperately needs to win this fight. He is also more polished with a better body attack than Hatton. Will be a good fight.
I don't think Castillo might necessarily be spent - although it's always a possibility with a person who's been in the game as long as he has. I think, on the contrary, that he fights up to the level of his competition. So when he faces a bum, he fights like a bum. When he faces a good fighter, he fights like a good fighter. So if the preceding is true, looking at his opponent tonight, I gather he'll fight like a bum. :nod
I picked Hatton way back then when he beat Kostya and I still pick him to beat Castillo now. I dont think Castillo is shot, he hasnt shown any signs of it. Besides I believe the fight was signed before everyone started saying Castillo is past it..
