It was on last night. Worth a watch.

Eh, I know some of you Brits are a bit excited about Hatton's return, but sorry, I see it as much ado about nothing.

I expect Hatton to struggle early (who wouldn't after this long) before coming back to stop Senchenko late while behind on the cards. I don't think he'll fare well against anyone in the upper levels though.

I see Ricky winning a sloppy decision where he gets hurt in the later ro9unds but still pulls it off. I also see Paulie stopping him in 8 just from activity and movement alone. Hatton wont have the legs like he did last time to keep up but well just have to wait and see

Heading up to Manchester via Leeds for this now.

Hatton via KO @ Evens.

Also a sneaky bet on Senchenko Rd2 at 66/1.

Enjoy mate, should be cracking.

Im just hoping he comes through it with a W.

Eventually this will end badly, he will lose, no fighters goes out on top, just human nature to keep on trying one extra fight.

I homestly hope Hatton does well but see him getting stopped before tha half way mark.

An awkward fit and active Paulie could fiddle around and the ref gave him a stoppage but this is a big man aginst Hatton and I see it going the same way as Tysons last 2 fights. Just going to look small and tired.

He is a phenomenon. His ability to put bums on seats and sell ppvs is closely linked to the excitement he brings to the ring, and the fact that fans can relate to him. I thought the appeal was obvious even if you are not a fan.

If he can control himself and still take a good shot he could do well he looked really fit, moved well, and has respect for Bob Shannon who is no mug in the corner, Ricky needs to deal with his demons and I wish him luck and will be watching saturday night hoping for the best but being prepared for the worst.

I'd say that if you have a ticket and are in the MEN on fight night, when Hatton comes out, the hairs on the back of your neck with the atmosphere will stand up like never before. That is a cert and the place will be alive like not many other boxing nights in history......

On the other hand, the smokiest thing for me will be Hattons punch resistance. If it ain't there, Senchenko, regardless of how powder puff, will stop Hatton I say.

On another note, I think that this return for Hatton all leads towards a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. In his head, I think thats what the goal will be. Whether I'm right, or whether he can stay upright before then I don't know.

[Nameless]

I am very curious about how he'll do but I gotta admit that I think that he should have stayed in retirement. If he's only doing one fight or two to end his career on a winning streak (so not going against the top of the division), that can perhaps be alright but if he has more "splendid" plans, then I deeply worry for him.

im going you bunch of nobs

[Kirkland Laing]

If he can't get past Senchenko's jab it's going to be a long night for him. Hopefully he's not fooling himself. Also interested to see what happens when he gets hit on the chin.

[littlebif]

Got my ticket for the fight i'm starting to get excited now am like a little kid lol.

I hope ricky gets the win but its not going to be easy, i think Hattons punches look slow aswell.

Senchenko looked big at the weighin, was surprissed how much taller he was aswell. If Hatton can slip the left jab and avoid the right cross he can get on the inside and work. But if not i see hatton getting stopped in 10.
