Hatton Senchenko Saturday Night Fight/Chat thread

[Youngblood]

I really thought he was going to get up there.

Ya know, been hit with enough and seen enough of hard body shots and what it takes to get up. More than anything, it takes heart. I just don't think he still has it for the sport at the warrior level. that was what was most sad to me.

Yeah, I wouldn't really know. I know they hurt from the odd sparring session way back when, but that's not exactly the same thing .

[CFH]

Man, Hatton is just a wreck right now, this is hard to watch. Someone get this guy some lithium.

[Majesty]

Yeah Hatton breaking down in the post fight interview.

You know, 42 months off he DID fight well, I would like to see a rematch actually.

[CFH]

Fucking Malignaggi playing the counsellor. This is surreal.

With all due respect you are a young man who has not fought at that level. A younger Hatton would gave got Senchenko out earlier.

I'm not sure what your point is. Mine is, he maybe could have gotten up. Most do. Especially considering the rd was nearly ended and he had time to recoup. This game is mostly mental too and I think by this time in the fight Ricky already knew it wasn't anything like he'd hoped.

No one is questioning what a younger Ricky could have done. But this wasn't him.

I thought it looked like he was about to get up at 8 seconds and thought better of it, but who knows.

Post more about boxing, been a while since I've seen you post so much sense!

My point is that however strong you are mentally, your bodies resistance and ability to withstand pain and trauma decreases. When you spend a few days urinating blood you can be pretty sure that the deep tissue and organ damage will make you more susceptible in future to similar damage. it's not like a bone that heals back stronger. You may be right but I think the mental fortitude needed to even attempt a comeback after a life lived like Ricky's after 3 and a half years out would have made sure he got up if he could. Also I don't really know where you get the idea that MOST people get up from body shots that put them down. Plenty don't.

[Saddo]

When he said he was coming back I thought why?!?!? but from the build up to the ring walk it was like stepping back in time to the glory days and that was great to see, but from about round 5 it was clear to see this was not the Ricky of old and his reaction to the loss just shows how much the win would have ment to him.

is this the end? well after that reception he got I think there is still money to be made so I doubt this is the last we will see of him.... but I hope it is

Surely he has enough money though and there's plenty to be made more safely as a promoter. It seems like it's all psychological for him.

I wouldn't mind seeing him take something of a gimme fight to retire on a win, but to continue to try and compete against even a moderate level of opposition seems ridiculous.

[Master]

This is a bit like Winky Wright taking on a good fighter after a long lay off and getting beat and retiring, he should have taken an easier opponent.

[Freedom]

This is the saddest I've ever felt for a boxer.

I just hope Ricky will be okay, and not go into a depression about it.
