Confirmed:Ricky Hatton will fight Vyacheslav Senchenko in November

like this better than katsidis. dont want hatton getting sparked in his first return fight. im guessing he fights brook sometime down the road

 

great comeback fight and a real test for him. Much better than blown up shot Katsidis. This guy is one fight removed from being world champ and he's highly ranked, a win puts Ricky directly in line for a rematch with Paulie for his belt.

 

When was the last time Hatton knocked a fighter out cold?

 

Exactly. I don't know a lot about Senchenko but it was a virtual face damage type stoppage against Paulie. Hatton could easily be out-sized and out-maneuvered if he can't find his strength at this weight. Seems like a tough fight. What happened to the Katsidis fight?

 

Hatton should and probably will win by stoppage or ko

 

If Hatton wins this maybe he could chase Paulie for a title shot.

 

hatton wont win....i'd like him to, but i don't see it happening.

 

I think this fight is a mistake. The guy's record is too good and I have never heard of him. Ricky should be fighting a big name like Marco Antonio Barrera but a more shot guy in that league someone who has become real bummy with a name.

more money less risk

Ricky has had a looooong break Ring Rust can be a *****

 

you're missing the point. Ricky wants to be a champion again and wants it via a Paulie rematch. He wants to be a Mandatory so he gets a bigger purse than a voluntary defense by Paulie. Senchenko is still very highly ranked as he was champ in his last fight so beating his ass puts Ricky right in line as a mando for Paulie's WBA WW title. Ricky is doing the smart thing and chasing a belt he can actually win if he's still 80% of his former self.

 

he will not be 80% of his peak....no way
