Vitali wasn't in prime condition much like Lennox he was planning of fighting someone who wasn't all that good...Leo Nolan I believe.

So the card WAS going to be
Main Event: Lewis-Kirk Johnson

Undercard: Vitali-Leo Nolan

Now tell me again who stepped up and showed what they had in that fight...I doubt ANYONE could have pushed Lewis to the brink like that on such short notice.
