Hatton did better than I expected for a 3 year layoff. It's surprising he didn't get stopped in a few rounds against a world class opponent, he made it all the way to the ninth and even won a few of the early rounds so he wasn't completely outclassed early on in the fight, although Senchenko started to pull away in the latter rounds.
He may have announced retirement but he's done that in the past. Will Hatton end up rematching Senchenko now that he's had a very tough tune up against him, and if so who wins?
He perhaps should have took a softer option for his return but it's understandable why he took the route he did. He knows now that he just don't have it anymore and hopefully he can walk away with no regrets.
i think hes finished for good but u never know
I don't know if he's going to want to permanently retire on a defeat. If he doesn't rematch Senchenko he might take an 8-rounder against a domestic level opponent, just to try and get a W in order to go out on a win.
It would be disgraceful to ask for a rematch. But, I think he should continue, just start out with more appropriate competition. This one was a terrible idea after the way he let himself go. Ease back in slowly.
Taking a much safer tune-up would have been a much better idea. Hatton wanted to jump in at the deep end but for someone with his history outside the ring it was a very bad move. Even a boxer who hadn't been overweight, heavily drinking and doing drugs, a safe tune up is always the best option. So for Hatton to fight Senchenko straight away, the cards were really stacked against him. That's why I was surprised he didn't get stopped early, he did better than I expected.
I thought it was appropriate as an opponent.
A guy who just got stopped by Paulie Malignaggi? It doesn't get any safer than that.
Yes because Malignaggi totally KO'd him. :rolleyes:
umhhh.. hmm.. let me think about this..
ok got it. probably, the guy who won the first time
smh at this
Because the guy that wins the first time, always wins the second time?
If you're going to be a smart ass, at least try and not be stupid.
