Klitschko-Sosnowski: Will Vitali step it up after destroying Sosnowski on May 29th
May 9th, 2010
By Dave Lahr: Incredibly, ticket sales are reportedly doing really well for the mismatch between World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) and his horribly over-matched opponent Alberto Sosnowski (45-2-1, 27 KO’s) for May 29th at the Veltins Arena, Gelsenkirchin, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Klitschko, 38, has found a soft touch in 31-year-old 12 ranked WBC contender Sosnowski. This fight has 2nd round knockout written all over it, but incredibly the German boxing fans are scoping up tickets for this mismatch in droves, as if the fight was a compelling one instead of the mismatch that it appears to be.
It’s just sad that Vitali chose to waste his non mandatory defense against Sosnowski rather than a more interesting opponent. Klitschko will likely have to defend his title against the winner of Odlanier Solis and Nikolay Valuev. If Solis emerges as the winner, it would be a good fight for Vitali. At 6’1’, the 270 Solis would be little more than a younger version of Danny Williams and will have no chance, but the fight will at least be somewhat interesting while it lasts. I doubt that Valuev will beat Solis, but if he does, a Valuev-Klitschko fight will be a horrible mismatch, about as bad as Vitali-Sosnowki. I wouldn’t want to see it. Valuev would have no chance.

Vitalij againe c=onfirmed he really was and would be the best now.
So let us wait for the next sweet couple of his competitors: Hay&Valuev.
No Sosnowski did not fight Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson had a bout with Danny Willams. Danny Willams Knocked him in to retirement.

Sasnowski Has wins over Mike Tyson”
no he doesn’t.
Sasnowski Has wins over Mike Tyson and Danny williams, stopping them in thier quest for resergence.
I spoke a lil soon. Alert Sosnowski is def. a great contender to go up against V.Klichko. Only thing that has me wondering is why is he ranked 12 or 13? And why is he facing V. Klichko, instead of the #2 D.Haye, #3 A.Poverkin, or #4 T. Adamek? I watched a few of his(A. Sosnowski) bouts and he def. could bring something to the squared ring. With a record of (45-2-1 27 kos),and bringing Power, Speed, Authority,and Youth, he def. has a chances to Upset the flow of V.Klichko. Good Fight! Your not going to want to miss this special treat for all you Boxing Fans!!! U deserve!! it
I GOT ALBERT SOSNOWSKI!!!

any ?’s emailme
DROTe.
This fight could end in a cut, or someone could fall through super loose ropes,Or an injury can occur. These guys that turnd the fight down forgot Vitali has 2 losses due to what possibly can happen may happen. Iron fist is human too.Tune in and enjoy.
Travis kauffman next champ
Vitaliy offered to fight Adamek Adamek refused saying he is not yet ready for a Klitschko, Vitali picked the strongest contender out there. Toney doesnt stand a chance he lost twice to Peter Vitali made Peter quit! Povetkin is mandatory for Vladimir and even then he says he would rather take couple more fights before facing a Klitschko! Who else is out there for Vitali please anyone tell me???
I think Klitscho will get him out of there within a few rounds possibly between 1-5.
Ill be routing for Sosnowski though.
UKANSODOFF: sosnowski is not the european champion audley harrison is unfortunately lol
wait…people are actually criticising david haye…& vitali is fighting sosnwski? don’t get me wrong, i know the fight is only happening cos the valuev fight fell through…but haye gets criticised for fighting valuev & ruiz but vitali lines up against a guy who audley harrison was favourite against & no-one says a thing?
too much blah blah blah.
Vitali Klichko needs to step up and fight either the #2 contender David Haye, #3 contender Alexander Povetkin or #4 contender Thomaz Adamek. Me Personally, I think Klichko should fight Thomaz Adamek because, Adamek has alot of movement, and Klichko does not do well against fight who no how to move. While that fight takes place. I would have to put a fight together against #2 David Haye , and #3 Alexander Povetkin and the winners of each bout fights in the Heavy Wt Mega Fight afterward.
So basic what were looking at here is:
(1st bout) V.Klichko vs. T. Amamek
(2nd bout) D.Haye vs. A. Povetkin
(Heavy Wt Mega Fight( ? vs. ? )
But were not going to see the fight in that order. V. klichko is fighting sum no name fighter who isn’t even in the top rankings, on May 29.The fighter he will face is Albert Sosnowski. Anybody NoHim???????????Anyway Hopefully it will be a good match. I dont think Im going to order that bout,unless they have a HBO24/7 on both fighters. That way i can see what Albert Sosnowski brings to the squared ring……..
Hopefully we’ll see these mix of Boxing Matches in the Future,

Probably wth the heavyweights out there the only possible threat for Vitali is his brother,pavetkin, And believe it or not David Haye on his horse.
Lets get real here .Vitali k. has ducked no one. Maybe haye has? Sosnowski is as worthy opponent as Kevin Johnson orany other of the contenders., His record is better than many other heavyweights. Don,t say Klitschco is ducking anyone because it is a joke for anyone to say he is taking an easy fight.He will demolish Adamek, if he can catch up to him.
After the klitschko brothers lose to david haye or another worthy challenger, they will make very little revenue
How come that people conveniently forget that Sosnowski was a REPLACEMENT, after Valuev DECLINED to fight him for “only” 3 millions (hey, he was a title holder back then, and lost only to Donald, Chagaev, the mummy of Holyfield, and Haye, and had two draws with legendary John Ruiz !), and Haye was “too busy”.
He may well be an overmatched opponant but he is the new European heavyweight champion, winning something like is traditionally a stepping stone to the world level and we wouldnt want that to change. Hes landed lucky and got straight in with a world title oppertunity and good for him. Good luck Alberto who fights out of London. ( i think).
Also we need to take into account these boxers have regimes in regards to when they fight, how much training or rest time they require, its not just like you can change your plans at the drop of a hat so alot of people mentioned as opponants may well of been tied up one way or another.
After who Vitali has faced lately i see no problen with him giving the European champion a chance at all.

Not Vitalis fault!
Haye/Adamek and perhaps Solis aside there isnt many decent fighters in the heavyweight division for him to fight.
He has already fought Peter, Arreloa, Gomez and destroyed them.
He could have fought Valuev but money caused that to fall through and Valuev is another poor fighter.
After Sosnowski who he should beat perhaps he could fight solis or Adamek, then retire. Depending on whether Wladimir beats Haye.
Dave have some respect for Great Champion Vitaliy Klichko! He retired Lennox. And reigning heavyweight very long time!
I with pleasure will watch Vitaliy vs Sosnovski fight! It will be better than real boring Floyd vs Mosley!!!!!
