On this day Ricky Hatton scythed down Jose Luis Castillo

ON June 23 2007 in Las Vegas Ricky Hatton delivered one of the best of his famed body shots, delivering a thumping left hook to Jose Luis Castillo’s midriff which saw the aging Mexican spin away in agony, counted out by referee Joe Cortez at 2-16 of the fourth round.

The punch and the victory set up Hatton’s showdown with Floyd Mayweather later that year in the Mancunian’s next fight.
