Ricky ‘Hitman’ Hatton makes his comeback tonight after a three year break, during which he retired.

Tonight, HBO’s World Championship Boxing series delivers a juicy post-Thanksgiving treat. In the main event, southpaw Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (30-1-1 18 KO’s) engages in his second fight since the questionable move to Welterweight as he faces heavy handed Haitian-American contender Andre Berto (28-1-0 22 KO’s). With Guerrero’s WBC Interim strap on the line, which…
This Saturday sees the much debated return of Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton as he faces tough, but limited Ukrainian, former WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko.
