Comments Thread For: Shannon: Hatton's Reaction To First Big Shot is Key

Man, they are making too much of a big deal out of this fight.

I am a big R Hatton fan but I have a gut feeling this will end badly. He looks broken in recent interviews, a shadow of his former self, like his spark has been extinguished. I sincerely hope I am wrong, I really do. I don't agree at all. He seems very content, mature and ready to go. The little jokes and smiles will return soon, maybe after the fight. I just think he's so focused that he will put everything in it tomorrow. I've got my ticket sorted out, and I hope Ricky will take him apart quicker than Paulie. After all, Paulie is not the hardest puncher in the world, and he stopped him.

yikes ... I hope this isn't the guy giving ricky his pep talk before he walks out there

My God, hardly the most inspiring words from a trainer! Is he trying to skew the betting odds or something? If not it sounds like he's got very little faith in Hatton's ability to get back to World level. I'm all for honesty but Jesus! Probably this ^^^^^. If Hatton doesn't put Senchenko away in 3/4 rounds, he'll get stopped.

The trainer doesn't even like his odds of winning.
