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.

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

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.

[IamInuit]

He could have came back and fought some tomato can or stump with arms and made a few million quid but instead he chose a top ten guy to measure himself.

WAR RICKY HATTON!

I'd give my left nut to see him fight live and have a taste of that atmosphere.

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.

I wish Hatton the best.

Hope hatton wins. Hopefully it will stop him mentioning pound for pound fighters all the time. Get over it and be the best you can be.

[Gandalf]

I'm so buzzed for this and think Hatton actually looked very good at the weigh in. Just maybe he is for real. Hatton brings excitement like nobody else in boxing today and we have ourselves an event. I can't wait.

Yep, for once we get it for free (sort of) and the Brits have to buy the PPV or find a stream !

I'll be watching for sure n hoping Hatton looks good. Boxing is more fun with that British troll around, he's tough as all hell.
