By Scott Gilfoid: Bob Shannon, the trainer for Ricky Hatton, said that Hatton kind of lost it a little after getting hit with a big right hand shot from former WBA World welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (33-1, 22 KO’s) in the 4th round. From there on, Hatton was only looking to try and get back at Senchenko and wasn’t following the game plan that Shannon wanted Hatton to follow, which was to use head movement and box his way in close instead of just barreling forward with little thought of defense.
Shannon said to thesun.co.uk “Ricky was doing really well until he was caught by a big right in the fourth round. He was annoyed with himself and couldn’t shrug it off…I lost control of him. His attitude was ‘you hurt me, I’ll hurt you back.'”
