Hatton becomes IBF and IBO Light Welterweight Champion, by out pointing the rugged but less skilled Juan Urango. Ricky looked to be in great shape and able to dance around Urango most of the night, Hatton is a major force at Light Welterweight and should unify all the belts before he moves on up for good.

Urango seemed to be a little frustrated and just could not find his timing, he did go the distance with a well conditioned Hatton and should be recognized for that. Urango is young and will definitely be in-line for a rematch with Hatton after a few more fights.

Ricky's brother matthew also fought on the card.

Mathew Hatton faced a little less tough opponent in Frank Houghtaling, who was done after 7 rounds, Hatton won the Vacant IBF International Welterweight Title, who's record is 29 - 3 - 1 is now in position for some big fights ahead.

Co-Featured bout

Jose Luis Castillo had a tough time with Herman Ngoudjo, but pulled out a split decision victory to set up a hotly anticipated showdown with Ricky Hatton scheduled for June at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. Castillo vs. Hatton would be a great match up. June would be a perfect time for these guys to fight, this fight could go either way and should be real exciting for fight fans to watch, plus Vegas is the perfect setting for the bout....

Castillo had high's and low's in this fight, I think Ngoudjo was a tougher fighter than most thought, he never gave up during the fight and seemed to have worn down Castillo during the bout, either way, he won by a split decision and now is set up for a "super fight" with Hatton
