A word on Vyacheslav Senchenko

[Islington haye maker]

It was only natural that people would forget about senchenko's win and focus on hatton's loss.
People will be talking about Ricky because he was the star attraction and if could he really roll back the year's & see a bit of the old hatton,after seeing him fight them awful demon's that had overtaken he's life.

But make no mistake Senchenko has put himself out there now and will get big fight's from this,so yes the Hatton camp should have given him more due's,but the fight itself has done the talking for him so he won't worry.

I do not think that Senchenko is really that good. He would get beat by Berto, Guererro, Floyd and is really a B level fighter. The fact that Paulie beat him on his home turf through injury from a non-puncher makes me think he will not beat the elite fighters in the division.

Agreed, I think he is a sound boxer but certainly not a special one. He has a very typical Eastern European style that is perfect to deal with guys who come straight forward like Hatton did the other night. I thought Rickys footspeed and timing looked nothing like it used to and he was barging in throwing well off the mark most of the time. Watch Senchenko against Paulie and it's pretty clear he can't lead or create openings of his own all to well.

Having said that, credit to the man for getting up for the fight and not letting the crowd bother him, must have been intimidating to enter that stadium coming off a loss. He did a really good job in the last round of softening Hatton up with the same shot that ended it as well, but as I said Hatton was not a hard target by that point.
