Hatton won't be able to back Castillo up,JLC will be in his chest all night.
This is gonna be a hellofa fight.
Stylewise its a head on collision,2 guys that like to use their strength to fight toe to toe & both are great body punchers.
I think Hatton will end up being the one who retreats and fights on the move.Castillo is a rock who just keeps marching 4ward no matter what he gets hit with.

Depends on which Hatton shows up as to how this fight goes down... Is the Ricky Hatton that busted up Tszyu? Or the Ricky Fatton that got hurt to the body and looked like crap in his last fight against a tough but not very skilled guy. I hope its the former. Then this will be a war. I'm gonna say its good Ricky that shows up. Hatton TKO 11 when Castillo can't get off his stool.
