It still AMAZES REED just how FEW Fans R EXCITED about this Fight...This Shit is LESS than a Month Way,yet NOBODY Wants to Talk about it???... REED:notallthere:
I am, and I think that we may see some of the old Hatton back. I bet you that he is sick of being called a "hugger" lately. Hopefully its a war.
You mean stink it out against Castillo in order to survive?, yeah, who would do such a thing. :crafty:
maybe because they both have looked like shit for a while. I personally think this fight will bring a good fight from both. But I would have been more excited a year ago or so because they were both performing better in the ring.
It is going to be dull. Hatton is the most boring fighter besides Stinks in his last 5-7 fights and Castillo is always dull besides his two fights with Corrales. I think that is why.
REED just CAN'T See this Fight Being Dull... BOTH Fighters Recognize the IMPORTANCE of it... Castillo Fights to the Level of his Opposition & Hatton KNOWS this is his Most IMPORTANT Fight Since Kostya... Hatton vs Castillo = F.O.Y. Candidate,N REED's Opinion... REED
I strongly disagree. Castillo is Hatton's strongest opponent ever. Zoo doesn't even come close to having victories over fighters like Casamajor, Coralles, Stevie Johnston, like Castillo does. Zoo is a bum, compared to JLC (and to just about any other elite fighter)
I'm thinking Ricky is going to fight this one alot like he did vs Tackie and Phillips, try to stay outside and box a bit. Quick question, why on earth would they be using 10 oz gloves as someone here said they would?
:crafty: Well why wouldn't you say so, he beat Fraud's arse, and on aggregate, won the most rounds in 2 fights. and in this fight, I'll pick Castillo to find another way to conquer stink, he dealt with Fraud's running, I believe he can find a way to evade Hatton's jaws of life.
