Ricky's in shape, but looking at footage of his training, he isn't the fighter he once was. His punches look a bit slower, lacking the same pop, and his footwork looks sluggish. Given his age and the abuse he put his body through, that's no surprise, but I'm glad that he's finally acknowledged that he never paid much attention to the defensive side of his game and that it cost him big time. He genuinely thought he could just bully whoever he was in there with. So I expect to see a different Ricky in there, older and wiser, more conscious of his defensive duties. Hard to say how it'll work out for him. I highly doubt he'll be knocked out, but a loss on the cards is a possibility.
Haven't really been following the buildup for this one but I recon Ricky will be ok tonight. Ill take him to stop Senchenko around the 7th with a body shot. I know most of you are saying it could be more s case of what Ricky has left as opposed to what Senchenko brings. I dont think Senchenko throws enough to cause problems and I think hes open to a body attack.
