Quotes

  • HBO announcer Jim Lampley referred to the punch that dropped Castillo as "...the perfect liver shot."
  • "There was more action in those four rounds than in Floyd Mayweather's last half dozen fights." - Ricky Hatton
  • HBO boxing analyst Max Kellerman said of the fight, "It seems unfair to take a little credit away (from Hatton) but here it goes. Castillo did look like a shot fighter tonight, like he was showing up just kind of to see what this young guy had and when he saw what he had, he thought "It's too much for me." and packed it in on a body shot". This body shot was revealed to have broken four of Castillo's ribs.
