Hatton should be approaching his prime, but he's been exposed in his last two fights. Irrespective of what he says about his training regime (and it IS frightening - I've seen some of the work he puts in in the eight weeks leading up to a fight) all that pie-eating in between makes his body weaker each time he tones up. It's basic nutritional science, but he refuses to take any notice of it. As a result, I fear his best days are already behind him.
Whatever happens, tonight's fight should be an absolute cracker - they are tailor-made for each other. The only worry i have is that hatton gets cut early - Castillo can be a nasty bastard and isn't averse to thumbing - and with a cut record like Hatton's he will be looking for every opportunity to do so. he also hits HARD and is durable so, although he is unlikely to put Hatton on his arse early because Hatton will come out aggressive, he will carry enough power through into the second half of the fight to be able to stop him in later rounds.

Looking forward to it in any case!
Would love to watch it, but refuse to pay another £20 and stay up to silly o' clock.....

Get in The Hit Man!
4th round
All this he's been blagging it nonsense - total tosh - he's a world class fighter and has proved it twice now.
