His head movement was bad before but i'm holding out little hope he can even get past Senchenko, he looks bloody old and his head movement doesnt fill me with confidence.
I'll cheer him on like i always have but im not holding out much hope for him, i just hope he doesnt get Pac'd again

It's a shame Ricky feels training for a fight is the only alternative to his life spiralling out of control.
The sight's all too familiar at the comeback stage of a fighters career. Out goes the brutal honesty of those who genuinely care and in come the Yes Men.
Shannon's reaction at 0:08 is sycophantic and he's blowing smoke up Ricky's arse.
Let's not get sentimental about this. Ricky's a shadow of the fighter that he was.
"Too many miles on the clock" was his own assessment after being knocked out by Pacquiao in 2009. His body may have aged a decade since then.
I hope beyond hope that he beats Senchenko; Malignaggi; and then calls it a day. Sadly, I can't see that happening.

Hatton's punch resistance was visibly on the wane when he fought Collazo at welter though. He dropped back down a weight because of it. Lazcano had him rocked. Mayweather stopped him. Pacquiao turned his lights out.
Since then he's been knocked out cold in a pub and been on a near four year long drink & drugs binge.
He'll come back slower, easier to hit and with even less punch resistance than before. So while I wouldn't bet against him in his first fight back, I just can't see this comeback ending well.

The trainer was doing more work than Hatton!
On a serious note, Hatton looks like he's going in with Malignaggi's gameplan against Senchenko. I don't think he can pull it off so he'll resort to his old style sooner or later.
Hatton will be allowed to get away with heavily excessive holding in his hometown, as usual, and that will probably be the deciding factor in the fight.
If it goes to the scorecards there's no way Senchenko gets a fair shot, he'll have to knockdown Hatton multiple times to win a decision in Hattons hometown.
