When I think of the old boxing cliche , "styles make fights", I think of the Hatton vs Castillo. This fight is going to be a war and a possible fight of the year candidate. The fight will be waged in a proverbial phone booth. This fight is going to be a war of attrition, and that is where the problem lies for Castillo.

Castillo has not looked the same after his two fights with Corrales, and has struggled in his last two outings. I think the outcome of this bout has more to do with how much Castillo has left than Ricky Hatton.

I think Hatton uses his strength, physicality, and high work rate to stop Castillo. I am picking Hatton to stop Castillo late in a hotly contested bout where the younger, fresher, stronger man beats the great veteran. Hatton by TKO stoppage late in the fight.
