All the attention has been on Hatton and that's understandable, it was his event, his big comeback in more ways than one but lets not forget the role that Senchenko played.
Given the circumstances, the magnitude of the event, who he was fighting and the way he performed last time he could have been forgiven for going along with the script and dropping a loss. No one would have thought less of him, no one would have cared to be honest.
Senchenko had his own script, he let Hatton, the crowd and just about everyone watching have their moment thinking it was going to be a victorious return for the Hitman. He didnt get caught up in the emotion, didnt let the crowd bother him and didnt potentially play into Hatton's hands by giving too much too early. He showed patience, a mental toughness and maturity that Paulie Malignaggi would have us believe was missing from his make-up.
I'm not actually sure how good the guy is but he performed well and did a good job on Hatton. Best of luck to him.
