Hatton Vs Castillo.....your final predictions

[ChampionsForever]

Hatton will win UD :smoke.

[RAMPAGE0017]

Hatton will probably win, but I'm still rooting for Castillo.

[ChampionsForever]

Hatton will likely clinch and maul his way to victory.:verysad

He knows what hes critics are saying and knows he has to pull off a decent performance to keep HBO happy. I think and hope this will be a quality fight with some scary moments in but will see Hatton victorious.

Hatton will probably win, but I'm still rooting for Castillo.

[El Bombasto]

Hatton by controversial SD

[achillesthegreat]

Hatton hasn't shown the same class in his last three bouts. Questions hang over all of them.

Castillo has always stayed polished and consistent, even when he looks off. Against N'goudjo he didn't lose, 7-5 or 8-4. Plus N'go was a good fighter.

With Castillo you know you are going to get hands high, good jab and solid body work. With Hatton you don't know. If he can bring back a Tszyu like performance then we're talking. In that fight he had his hands up and actually picked off alot of Tszyus shots.

Now Hatton is consistent in one thing and that is being inconsistent with his body attack and defence. Dare I say it, his stamina took a hit v Urango. He says it is because he was ill. It must be.

I do question how Hatton takes a body shot. Urango hurt him downstairs and Tszyu went low but not enough for him to go down, complain like he did or even retaliate. I think Hatton may get rattled when challenged downstairs. Castillo will challenge him there.

We know what Castillo is always about, we don't with Hatton. Thus Hattons bet partially lay in intangiables i.e. is he stronger? will the natural size count? does he punch harder at 140?

Hatton has to make his natural size count and he needs to maul and brawl Castillo so Jose fights his fight.

It's a pick em. A 50-50. That is where greatness lay - winning bouts that people aren't really sure you can win.

I'm tipping Hatton by UD but only if he brings his A game. If he doesn't it's good night Manchester.

If Castillo were younger, I would pick him to win by stoppage. But, given that fact that he's 33 and has been in quite a few wars, I also have this fight as a pick'em

Good post, alot of people are mentioning Hattons ability to take body shots, it was a factor in the Urango fight but that guy hit like a mule. Hatton has to watch Castillos left to the body, thats a sickening punch :dead

[Executioner]

Hattton by UD, Castillo is not going to be able to out-strength Hatton like he's done to quite a few of those lightweight opponents.

Hatton is stronger, quicker, more agile and will outwork him.

[andyZOR]

Hatton UD

[Boro chris]

Castillo close UD. If he's not shot, then that slight edge in class and power should tell, but there are quite a few intangilbles in this matchup.

[BobDigi5060]

Hatton wins a UD based on youth.

I will be rooting for Castillo.

[jc]

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...

[Amsterdam]

Hatton clear UD 116-112.

[David UK]

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

[codeman99998]

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.

[Goose]

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.

[castle]

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

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.)

[ChampionsForever]

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

As long as this happens Ill be happy :good.

[DoinDamage]

Castillo TKO 6.
I don't believe for a second that Hatton can win an inside war of attrition against Castillo. Hatton was very bothered by Urango, on the few occasions he opened up with body punches. Castillo is a relentless body puncher, who's also a lot more skilled and versatile. Castillo also has a sturdier chin.
Hatton's best chance is to box like he did for the 1st half of the Urango fight, in and out, constantly turning Castillo, only this time keep it up throughout the fight.

[SgrRyLeonard]

Hatton UD in a very tough fight.

[1lehudson]

every since the fight was made i thought that Castillo would stop Hatton. I seen Castillo's last fight vs Ngoudjo and I was think wow this kid is on the move, he almost pulled off a big win early in his career. HOWEVER after watching Ngoudjo fight almost the same fight vs a totally shot, and never that good Randell Bailey, Im starting to think that Castillo is done, maybe the fights with Chico amoung others took it all out of him. Im not sure that Castillo has much left. I have changed my thinking about this fight. I think that Hatton will put a beatting on Castillo.

[ChampionsForever]

Ill be bumping this on sunday morning by the way to see who was right.:yep

:nono

when have you ever seen Castillo get up on his toes and box using side to side movement behind an effective left jab?

I didn't think so either

[McGrain]

In the last four Castillo has been in a massive war, battled horribly with weight twice, moved UP a division and looked absolutley terrible.

He's done. Hatton still has a good bit left.

Hatton KO 9.

Of course they wont they're too busy sucking Floyd 'Pussy Boy' Mayweathers cock!

Hatton Clinched and held against Urango - what the fuck is he supposed to do the man was built like a fucking tank! I rather watch Hatton Hold for 12 rounds than Mayweather run and nick rounds.

My deepest apologies.

Dont understand why Hatton seems to be disliked on these boards. Hes Good for boxing and about the nicest guy in the sport.

Hatton KO

[dangerousity]

Hatton easy.

[Archie_Moore]

All I'm going to say is Hatton doesn't take body shots well. JLC is going to put some hurt on Hatton's body.

[DoinDamage]

:nono

I didn't think so either

What I meant was that Castillo is more versatile than Urango, hence Hatton will have a lot more to deal with, than he when he fought Urango.
I really think a lot of people are really selling Castillo short. Sure, he didn't look great in his last fight, but he did rally after a slow start to win a hard-earned decision against Ngoudjo.
If this is a phone booth war, Castillo will knock Hatton out.

[codeman99998]

I don't dislike Hatton but his fights with Collazo and with Urango were BORING.

At least when Mayweather is boring he shows master craft. In Hatton's last two fights he just hit and held. I'm not saying Hatton wasn't amazing, I'm just saying John Ruiz had a lot of wins by doing the same thing that Hatton did in his last two fights.

[cannabis]

gotta go with castillo......love to see him plant a left hook upside hatton's head maybe a dozen times or more to see if he's able to stay upright. test that cranium early on. bang! bang! bang! then switch to the body and rough him up on the inside. castillo by UD.

[MSTR]

Hatton will win UD :smoke.
Agreed. Hatton to outwork Castillo, although Castillos power is the x factor here.

[Loggo]

If Hatton gets popped by that left hook flat on his chin i can see him going down,if he can get up i still see him winning it.

[Carlos Primera]

hatton most likely by ud, but i'm rotting for castillo

[See Me Flow]

It's going to be a draw.

[hellblazer]

Castillo by late round TKO!!!!

[Fat Tony]

Hatton in a very one-sided fight.

[theunderdog]

hatton ud

[jyuza]

Hatton doesn't seem to like body punches, we all know that. Also, we are fully aware of Castillo's body punching abilities, let's not forget that JLC has good power and he has fought the very best of the division.

Now I can't make a proper prediction since I didn't watched Castillo last fight. I heard Ngoudjo was pretty tough by the way.

I would say Jose Luis by unanimous decision, if he can make a good body work.

[Denny Cruser]

Hatton wins . . . but my heart is with Castillo.

now this I can agree with.

[Executioner]

Castillo didn't show much firepower against Herman and his bodypunching is overrated.

He's a one handed bodypuncher.

[Alo2006]

Hatton will probably win, but I'm still rooting for Castillo.

I think Castillo could pull it off, but he didn't look that good in his last fight. I'm feeling the same way as u right now. I think Hatton might win, but I'm cheering for Castillo.

[IntentionalButt]

my final prediction is that this fight will be one of those that sets rural storage sheds ablaze.

[Flatlander]

Hattons's defense is his offense. The same is mostly true with Castillo. I have always seen Hatton as porous defensively and very hittable. If Castillo hits Hatton he will hurt him. I don't see Hatton hurting Castillo all that badly with one punch. Castillo can hurt Hatton with one good shot. If Castillo still has all his skills. I see him wearing Hatton down and stopping him. I will be rooting for Castillo.

[SouthLondonsFinest]

U telling me if that hook that smacked Manussa hits Castillo he aint gonna be on queer st?

[ChampionsForever]

Here's my plan (its top secret so keep it schdum) Im going to put £200 on Hatton to beat Castillo, If and when this comes in Ill have £330 to bet on Brewster to KTFO Wlad. With the latest odds if Brewster pulls off the upset ill be up by over a grand. :happy If im wrong and one of them loses (highly likely I know) then ill edit this post and pretend it never happened.

[Caper]

Man this is a tough one to call, but I say the short guy with weight problems wins this one.

Castillo by TKO 12.

Jose Louis has been through some wars, but he's a great fighter & knows what it's like to dig real deep to win & lose. I don't think Castillo is thinking about at all. He sounds not just confident, but assured on himself.

No matter who wins, I think both will know they have been in an epic battle. I mean, it could be one of those fights where to winner looks worse than the loser, if you know what I mean?

This won't be no tickling contest that's for sure.

[TroubleLurks]

Hatton wins by late stoppage despite an inspiring performance by the ageing champion
+1

[Dennis]

Hatton by UD.

[Shotgun]

Hatton will win it by a UD, I think we'll see Hatton's first inspired performance since Tszyu. It seems Ricky's lifestyle, weight fluctuation, and complacency impacted his last 3 fights, he looked lethargic for the first part of Maussa, against Collazo for a lot of the fight, and against Urango particularly after he built up a heavy lead early on. I'm hoping Ricky got himself in top shape and will revert to his whirlwind form combining relentless pressure and bodywork and wearing Castillo down. I'm expecting Hatton to come in tip top shape and give an inspired performance. And if he does, I don't know if Castillo at this stage can keep pace with him. JLC has been in a lot of wars and isn't getting any young, I don't see him being able to keep pace if Hatton is back in form. I think it'll be close in the first half, with a few scary moments for Hatton
but in the end Hatton will pull away in the second half of the fight by just wearing Castillo down like he did to Tszyu

[Matthew W]

All I'm going to say is Hatton doesn't take body shots well. JLC is going to put some hurt on Hatton's body.

I am not sure this is right. I have watched plenty of Hatton's fights and have seen no evidence of it except in the Urango fight, where he hit him with a mean body shot in the sixth or seventh round. The fact that he has been hurt once doesn't mean he doesn't take body shots well.

My prediction is a late TKO in Hatton's favour (maybe 10th round). He is too strong and fast for Castillo to cope with.

[Shotgun]

Hattons's defense is his offense. The same is mostly true with Castillo. I have always seen Hatton as porous defensively and very hittable. If Castillo hits Hatton he will hurt him. I don't see Hatton hurting Castillo all that badly with one punch. Castillo can hurt Hatton with one good shot. If Castillo still has all his skills. I see him wearing Hatton down and stopping him. I will be rooting for Castillo.

Yes! Now I'm that much more confident in my Hatton pick :yep:happy

[the_what]

Hatton TKO in 8 one-sided rounds.

[Caper]

Hatton will win it by a UD, I think we'll see Hatton's first inspired performance since Tszyu.

You know that's a good point, I think I might be leaning towards Hatton now.....your post makes good sense. :think

I still think Castillo is a scary character and the fight may go either way. What's great about this fight is that both me might see Cotto after this one, or Kendal Holt/Paul Malanaggi any of those scenerios would make an entertianing fight which is obviously theeee most important factor of all.

But yeah, that's fine.

[Silverfox]

Hatton to win!

[smokey]

Hatton will win an ugly decision over an aging and declining Castillo (who hasn't looked good in fights against MUCH lesser opponents) which will then be announced as one of the greatest victories in boxing history by British boxing fans.

[Sug3]

Hatton has underrated punching accuracy and castillo is there to be hit,plus hatton wont engage on the inside,because he knows that's castillo's strength.Hatton will hit castillo from all angles and make it look like target practice and i see castillo hitting the canvas for the first time in this fight,u will see hatton destroy and punish castillo by tko within 7-12 rounds.

[Holmes' Jab]

Hatton hasn't shown the same class in his last three bouts. Questions hang over all of them.

Castillo has always stayed polished and consistent, even when he looks off. Against N'goudjo he didn't lose, 7-5 or 8-4. Plus N'go was a good fighter.

With Castillo you know you are going to get hands high, good jab and solid body work. With Hatton you don't know. If he can bring back a Tszyu like performance then we're talking. In that fight he had his hands up and actually picked off alot of Tszyus shots.

Now Hatton is consistent in one thing and that is being inconsistent with his body attack and defence. Dare I say it, his stamina took a hit v Urango. He says it is because he was ill. It must be.

I do question how Hatton takes a body shot. Urango hurt him downstairs and Tszyu went low but not enough for him to go down, complain like he did or even retaliate. I think Hatton may get rattled when challenged downstairs. Castillo will challenge him there.

We know what Castillo is always about, we don't with Hatton. Thus Hattons bet partially lay in intangiables i.e. is he stronger? will the natural size count? does he punch harder at 140?

Hatton has to make his natural size count and he needs to maul and brawl Castillo so Jose fights his fight.

It's a pick em. A 50-50. That is where greatness lay - winning bouts that people aren't really sure you can win.

I'm tipping Hatton by UD but only if he brings his A game. If he doesn't it's good night Manchester.

Good post, I agree :good

[westhamjp]

Hi all westhamjp logging on for the first time.Got a prediction for this weekends boxing,Castillo a cagey inside fighter(watch those elbows)and hatton prone to a cut or two.If you look at the prices on Paddy Power its 33s on Hatton 10/11/12 and 50s Castillo 10/11/12.My advice for what its worth is £5 on each round if u a betting man.B:happye nice to hear your views.good luck.

[errsta]

I'm going for my countryman: Jose Luis Castillo.

I expect Hatton to win, and win impressively.

I fully expect it to live up to it's FOY potential.

If this is a phone booth war, Castillo will knock Hatton out.

How the hell could Castillo knock out Hatton if Hatton's gonna be clinching and hugging him? :D

If Hatton gets hurt and falls down he's gonna bring Castillo with him in the canvas by clinging to him. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shit . . . what a take down ala UFC. :yep Don't expect Hatton to fight a phone booth war ala Chico.

No one thought it would be an early Hatton ko.

I can see how many thought JLC would win as he's a world class fighter who had never been floored in 60+fights, but those who based this assumption solely on the basis on Hatton's Collazo and Urango fights no nothing about boxing. Maybe they should start reading Boxing News to become more knowledgable?
