Vitali Klitschko vs. Albert Sosnowski Sat May 29 14:30PM ET
Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive! NEW YORK (May 27, 2010) This Saturday three world titles will be contested on two continents as part of a packed day of boxing on www.gofightlive.tv
The action kicks off Saturday at 2:30 pm eastern time with Vitali Klitscchko defending the coveted WBC Heavyweight champion against Albert Sosnowki.
Klitshcko has been nothing short of perfect since his return to the ring in 2008 after a four year absence. He reclaimed the WBC crown in his first fight back he dominated and eventually stopped reigning champion Samuel Peter. He then stopped former cruiserweight king Juan Carlos Gomez in nine and then undefeated U.S. hopeful Chris Arreola in ten. In his last bout, Klitschko again dominated an American challenger in Kevin Johnson as Klitschko basically took every second of every round against the boastful Johnson. Klitshcko, 39-2 with thirty-seven knockouts is generally regarded as the number-two ranked Heavyweight in the world behind his brother Wladimir who is the Recognized champion.
Sosnowski had a very gaudy record of 45-2-1 with twenty-seven knockouts and from all indications is in incredible shape as many have not given this huge underdog a chance.
The native of the United Kingdom received this opportunity mainly on the strength of going 2-0-1 in his last three bouts which included a eighth round knockout over former Klitshcko victim Danny Williams. In his last bout, Sosnowski won the European Heavyweight championship with a twelve round unanimous decision over Paolo Vidoz.
A two fight undercard will be part of the broadcast as former Cruiserweight title challenger Jonathon Banks (24-1-1, 17 KO's) will take on Jason Gavern (19-7-3, 8 KO's) for the NABF Heavyweight title. Rounding out the card will be cruiserweight battle between undefeated Nenad Borovcanin (25-0, 18 KO's) battling Raymond Ochieng (21-10-3, 17 KO's).

Undefeated Champions: Vasquez vs Zsolt Bedak Sat May 29 21:00PM ET
Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive! It's a World Championship doubleheader from Puerto Rico as Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. defends the WBO Super Bantamweight crown against #1 ranked Zsolt Bedak. And also, Roman 'Rocky' Martinez defends the WBO Super Featherweight title against Gonzalo Mungia.
Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr.: 'We are prepared to defend the title and look good to my people. That's what we intend to do: a good job. My condition is the best from working with my dad (former world champion Wilfredo Vazquez, Sr.) and my team. I know Bedak is disregarding me because of my little experience in boxing, but everybody should know I've trained real hard to keep my title.'
Zsolt Bedak: 'Our training has been strong (he is trained by former world champion Artur Grigorian) and I have come here to take the title. We've come to put on a great show and go home with a victory.'
Rocky Martinez: 'All I want is the day of the fight to come because I'm in tremendous shape and I want to defend the title again. We are prepared for whatever my opponent brings (Gonzalo) Mungia has been talking a lot. He has a mouth but everything will come out in the ring.'
Two of Puerto Rico's world champions put their belts on the line as in the main event, Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. defends the WBO Super Bantamweight crown against Zsolt Bedak. The co-feature will pit WBO Super Featherweight champion Roman 'Rocky' Martinez against Nicaraguan Gonzalo Munguia.
Vazquez has developed into one of the more exciting fighters in the lower weight classes as he has compiled a undefeated mark at 18-0 with fifteen knockouts.
Vazquez won the championship with an emphatic fourth round stoppage over Filipino wunderkind, Marvin Sonsona.
That fight was a pick'em fight going in but Vazquez quickly established his dominance and pounded Sonsona to win the vacant crown. In Bedak, Vazquez will face another undefeated fighter as he is ranked number-one by the WBO. After registering just three knockouts in his first thirteen bouts, Bedak has stopped his previous two opponents which includes his last victim which was then 38-3 Ramie Lupat.
Like Vazquez, Bedak is perfect with a record that reads 15-0 with five knockouts.
In the Super Featherweight co-feature, Martinez is quickly establishing himself as one of the top 130 pounders in the business. He will be attempting to make his second successful defense of his crown.
He won the title fourteen months ago with a highlight reel Fourth round stoppage over Nicky Cook in Cook's homeland in the United Kingdom. Martinez made his first defense this past September with a ninth round stoppage over late replacement Feidor Viloria.
Martinez of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico has a record of 23-0-1 with fourteen knockouts.
Munguia of Leon, Nicaragua showed tremendous power early in his career as he took out eight of his first nine opponents. After going through a few ups and downs, Munguia has been on quite a roll as he has won four in a row and three by knockout which includes his bout when he took out Jose Gutierrez (12-6-2) in six rounds on February 6th.
A third world title has been added to the card as Hanna Gabriel (9-0-1, 5 KO's) takes on Gardy Pena (9-1-2, 6 KO's) for the vacant WBO woman's Jr. Middleweight bout. Fans can also see the Arroyo twins (McWilliams and McJoe in separate bout).
