Ricky Hatton
denying Castillo in four rounds
The referee counted Jose Luis
Castillo out on one knee after two minutes and 16 seconds into
round four.
This was the third fight for the British boxer in the United
States and he did a great job rounding up a spectacle for his
fans. Future fights against the likes of Floyd Mayweather and
Oscar De La Hoya are now a possibility in the near future for
Hatton. Size may prevent an actual fight between De La Hoya and
Hatton.
Ricky Hatton dominated most of the
fight, clocking in a few fast punches at a time and clinching
Castillo after. The strategy proved perfect for this fight. And
in round four, with a deceiving move, Hatton got Castillo to
open a patch to his ribs, thinking the punch will come to his
head. Hatton seized the opportunity and a fast left found
Castillo just below the elbow, sending the Mexican fighter on
one knee and listening to the referee counting him out of the
fight.
The betting odds for the Hatton vs.
Castillo fight were -175 for the Britton and +145 for Castillo,
according to the betting site
Bookmaker.
