http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/players/yuriy_nuzhnenko/76027 Recent articles about Yuriy Nuzhnenko en-us From a pure boxing standpoint, the comeback of Ricky Hatton Saturday on Showtime after suffering a series of brutal knockouts is probably ill-advised. But anyone involved whose trick knee aches when it's about to precipitate money probably is happy Great Britain's most popular fighter of the past decade, the gregarious, blue collar everyman from Manchester, is stepping back into the ring for the first time in more than three years. We're all about to walk anew in the Hatton Wonderland, as the song goes, and it will be snowing cash. In that sense, there's some appeal that's written into it in the ways in which boxing is the entertainment business. If Hatton's comeback is popular, it's because the fans are making it that way. Two recent fighters offer two contrasting lessons about the wisdom of coming out of retirement after being on the wrong end of a highlight reel.

Undefeated Senchenko (32-0, 21 KOs), rated No. 5 in the world by The Ring Magazine, has been training at Roach's famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California. The 2000 Ukraine Olympian captured the WBA title in 2009, winning a 12-round decision from previously undefeated Yuriy Nuzhnenko, and Vyacheslav has successfully defended his world title belt three times: Motoki Sasaki (DEC12), Charlie Jose Navarro (DEC12) and more recently Marco Antonio Avendano (TKO6) last August in his last fight.

Malignaggi, who has only fought two fights at the welterweight limit against unranked journeymen (Jose Miguel Cotto and Orlando Lora), has somehow found himself in the WBA's No. 2 slot and will be getting his world title opportunity no later than 90 days after the organization's Jan. 26 deadline for purse bids. Senchenko, 34, has made three successful defenses of his title against marginal opposition since taking the belt from Yuriy Nuzhnenko in April 2009. Of the two fighters, the Brooklyn native Malignaggi has the deeper resume, despite a tepid 3-2 mark in world title fights and one-sided recent beatings at the hands of Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton.
