Ricky Hatton vs. Jose Luis Castillo

[Frutos]

Anyone else watching this tonight? Whether you are or not, anyone wish to offer their predictions?

I reckon we'll see a great action fight (in the vein of Corrales/Castillo or Gatti/Ward, but probably not quite to the level of either) which will end in a close but unanimous points win for Hatton.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch either if it is as close as I reckon.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Castillo has had weight problems in the past, dunno how much has been taken out of him making it for this one?

i predict hatton on points also

 

[Frutos]

They showed some clips from the weigh-in on the BBC Breakfast news earlier this morning, and although they didn't show any of Castillo, they showed Hatton weighing in and then commenting afterwards He looks in brilliant shape and sounds well up for it, which will make for a good fight I think.

Can't wait for this. Castillio hasn't impressed recently and could argue on way down , but Hatton also has been a bit shaky , all be it against a southpaw and a different weight.

I'm hoping for a classic.

I think the styles of both boxers point towards the fight not going the distance, therefore, I'm going to say Hatton will wear Castillo down in 10 rounds

Cant wait !

Just need to order up via sentanta or whatever its called

According to today's Daily Mirror (so take it as you will):

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/2007/06/23/oscar-eyes-wembley-89520-19343732/

If that happens, I'm going. It would be arguably the biggest name fight ever in Britain, not to mention a chance to see the new Wembley.

 

[Napper]

Mouth waters at that one. Tickets would be as rare as rocking horse shit.

Didn't know Rooney was carrying the belt tonight. Not sure what to make of that , american fight fans who don't know Rooney will probably think , Who the hell is that ugly fat bloke !

 

[Withnail]

They'll just think it's a tie-in with the release of Shrek 3.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Are there any places that give you codes for Setanta on freeview a bit like the ones someone posted for the Red Hot channel?

Could do with watching this...

 

[pishhead]

good victory for the hitmat, got to be fighting cotto next, that seems the fight everyone wants to happen, and will be an absolute war.

 

[Frutos]

will end in a close but unanimous points win for Hatton.

I got that one a bit wrong then.

My only worry now is that Hatton might have pushed himself further away from a fight with the likes of Mayweather by winning TOO impressively last night.

With the way boxing politics can be, it honestly wouldn't surprise me, although I obviously hope I'm wrong.

steve you seem up on your boxing who do you think hatton should aim to fight next, and do you think to get the big fights he needs to change division to welterweight? Personally I think de la hoya could be a possibility.

 

[Goodfella]

That was an amazing body shot, the British fans were fantastic.

Bozza, why embed the video when it doesn't allow it? That's why I posted the link instead.
