So how did he Hatton Fight play out?

Early rounds he looked OK noticeably slower and missing a bit but he was landing some good lefts to the body that you could tell hurt Senchenko. He started to get tired after the 4th and was doing the old daft lunging hook which would usually result with him catching a straight coming in. Senchenko was picking up the rounds though Hatton wasn't completely dominated in them like a lot are saying. Senchenko landed a body shot very similar to what we have seen Hatton land so may times through the years, Hatton went down straight away in a lot of pain. He was trying to get back up but he couldn't and that was that.

He looked ok in spots but for the most part his timing was very very off and looked slow and shot basically. This was a pretty good explanation.

He was well behind on my card at the time of the stoppage. Was aggressive early on but largely ineffective. Senchenko pushed him off easily enough when he tried to work inside, and caught him with the jab consistently when Ricky was on the way in. Hatton eventually started to gas and struggled to close the distance from the 5th onward. All the clean shots were now Senchenko's. Hatton was loading up on big shots and was missing his target by large margins. Exhaustion got him in the end and he was a stoppage waiting to happen.

He looked surprisingly decent for the first four rounds, I gave him 3 out of the first 4. After that he slowed down a bit and Senchenko found his range and began to read him a bit better. Although he won quite a few of the rounds, his timing was DREADFUL and his hand speed was definately slower. So was his footspeed actually, I just watched some of the Castillo/Kostya fights and his footspeed got him in range and in angles to land his monster body shots. He couldn't really do that consistently tonight. I had it 4-4 in terms of rounds and Senchenko was winning the 9th round, Ricky was slowing you could tell and if it went to the 10th, Senchenko would have continued to outwork him most likely because it seemed like Hatton was getting worse as the fight went on.

Dang i ended up missing this one even though i had a bet on it. Did hatton win any rounds, was he the old hatton atleast at the beggining of the fight? what happened? He won the first 3-4 rounds, Senchenko started to take over after that point. Overall I thought Hatton would win a close decision, being the home fighter, if he survived. Got hit with a good body shot, struggled to beat the count but got up in time to be counted out. Overall I thought he looked fine considering he never was a very disciplined fighter, and he's been off three years doing drugs. He was fine. If he hadn't picked Senchenko, and instead picked some softer guy, he could have won. He wasn't completely shot but obviously he wasn't the old Hatton. I think he should be proud of the effort though.

Was one round behind on my card. He threw a fair amount of punches but missed the majority, sometimes very wildly. He walked right onto jabs and right hands from Senchenko but I don't think he was hurt at all until the body shot that KOed him. In the 8th round they both grabbed and fell to the floor. Ricky was a lot slower getting up. He didn't look injured, just very tired. He'd been slowing down over the previous few rounds but that was when it was clear he was done.

The replay on ShowExtreme right now. He looked ok during the first few rounds but started to wear down before getting stopped with a body shot. I thought Senchenko was winning at the time of the stoppage.
