I can't defend (and haven't defended) Vitali's decision to fight Sosnowski except to say it was a "stay busy" fight. Sad to say this but the WBC has Ray Austin as the #1 contender right now.

Had Vitali fought Audley I would enjoy the beating Vitali would dish out on Audley but it would be a meaningless fight just like Sosnowski...that fight didn't prove anything.
