Ricky Hatton: The comeback

[Spicoli]

So they are showing this on Showtime stateside? That is a good thing!

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.

Clueless on this guy hes fighting but always liked the mug. 4 pm here...are we getting it "live" or pre taped do ya know?

I guess if there's one thing in Hatton's favor, it's that Senchenko ain't no spring chicken, and he was stopped by the feather fisted Pauli Malignaggi in his last fight in April of this year. Plus this fight is in Hatton's backyard at the Manchester Arena. Still though, unlike Hatton, at least Senchenko has been active the last 3 1/2 years (5 fights), while Hatton has been in 1 fight, a devastating 2nd round KO to Pacquiao.

I think we are getting it live as it appears to air at 2 pm my time (California). I see that California flag in your avatar so I assume you are also a resident of this fine state.

I haven't watched any tape of Senchenko either, just read bout Paulie schoolin, cuttin and stoppin him.

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.

I was shocked at how bad he looked, he looked like an old man who had been drinking for years (you know, that haggard washed out look that people get)

Even if he had not been destroying his body for two years, Ricky never had the style best suited to ring longevity. He has been in a lot of wars and that takes its toll on the body.

I think he gave the game away when he said that wanted to win another title and fight 'top people' like mayweather or Khan....... KHAN?

I think that the peak of his aspiration should be to finish Khans career, his style would be suited to Hatton as Khan is chinny and can be caught at any time.

Good luck to Ricky, and I hope he gets some closure.
