Hatton-Senchenko, Quigg-Monroe, Rabchenko-Vitu, Murray-Navarro RBR and discussion

Not really. Its good that it went down like this for hatton's sake. He fights a few tomato cans and gets false confidence fights a WW with some power and he would have gotten his brain scrambled again.

But coming back takes time. A fighter sitting for a couple years losses muscle. Thats the way fighters that have made successful comebacks do it, start slow to rebuild what was lost. Jumpin back in like Whitaker-Bojoquez rarely works as well as working your back like George Foreman did for example. Start with a bum and step up the competition each fight. After a couple years off, you can't just pick up where you left off. It is this experiance that earned me 50dollars today.

Hatton really didn't look as if he had been off three years boozing and doing drugs. To be honest, it looked to me just like an older Hatton. He wasn't ever that technically good.

Really hard to watch. Probably the worst Ive felt for a fighter since I started watching boxing.

Really hope Ricky doesn't do anything ****** in the days to come.

It's like Hatton gets neutered after every loss.

I also thought Senchenko was comfortable ahead. Hatton maybe focused too much on conditioning then strategy. He had no defense and kept making the same mistakes over and over and over again round by round. He looked even worse then in his other 2 losses. Might be ring rust but he isnt as strong at welterweight and wasnt anywhere near ready for a bigger guy like Senchenko. He cant compete at the world class level anymore. I think he wont be as depressed as before because he put up a hell of an effort and now theres no doubt within himself whether or not he can do it. He can retire for good and focus on the rest of his life.

The TV scoring was crazy. Unless you don't count jabs and straight right hands as scoring blows Senchenko outlanded him in every round.

Ricky can fight Junior Witter next

[gmc_rfc_06]

He looked really off to me.

Didn't land many good punches, wasn't working inside, his balance was all over the place when throwing power shots and he didn't learn anything defensively. He was still walking straight forward with his hands down at his chest.

A sad fact about life is that things can be destroyed in a lot shorter a time than they take to build.

Hatton spent 30 developing an elite level of athleticism, and three years of ******* and crap food is more than enough to destroy that.

Feel bad for Paulie too, he was praying Ricky won so he coulda sparked him out.

but Sanchenko won, someone who Paulie KO'd.....

War Paulie

I'm glad Paulie didn't cash in against a shot fighter. He should have lost to Cano.

What were the judges scorecards?

They had Hatton winning by 4 pts.
