Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Albert Sosnowski RBR

Who gives a ****?
This wasn't the same Sosnowski of the Vitali fight nor the Williams fight.

I think Albert's problems varies a lot.

Lets look at Sosnowski's record in his past 7 fights.

7. Zuri Lawrence. Traveled to Lawrences BACKYARD and lost by UD 8.

6. Danny Williams. Traveled to Williams's BACKYARD and won TKO 8.

5. Francesco Pianeta. Traveled to Pianeta's BACKYARD and got a robbery draw.

4. Paolo Vidoa. Traveled to neutral territory, but the majority in audience were Polish fans as constant "Albert" chants were heard.

3. Vitali Klitschko.Traveled to Vitali's BACKYARD and lost TKO 10.

2. Paul Butlin. Traveled to Butlin's BACKYARD and won TKO 1.

1. Alexander Dimitrenko. Traveled to Dimitrenko's PERSONAL BACKYARD and lost TKO 12.


Lets face it, Sosnowski's guts are too good for his own good. All good HW fighters now a days take hometown fights. Like Klitschko's in Germany, Adamek in Newark, Haye in UK, Arreola in Cali(never once fought out of the USA), Povetkin in Germany / Russia etc...

Sosnowski always took the tough route throughout his career, and hes either had good results(Williams, Pianeta) or poor results (Vitali, Dimitrenko). He was a favorite in 2 of his last 7 fights(Butlin, Vidoz).

I love Sosnowski's attitude, but if he really wanted a better career for himself, he should of gotten a better team around him. His trainer is useless and his manager would accept anything proposed on the table. Albert should of done what Golota/Adamek did and went to the USA and build some Polish fanbase. Or just stayed in Poland, but still fighting good opposition. Also a good trainer that would guide him in the right directions.

Albert's downfall is more due to lack of 1. proper training. and 2. lack of management.

Albert never had anyone in his corner to teach him anything. Albert always had the guts, heart, motivation, and overall smarts to be a champion, but he never had a teacher, This is a guy who was 0-0 in his Amateur career, and started when he was 19. If Poland ever had a great HW, they would have the Ring Skills of Golota and the Intelligence and Motivation of Sosnowski. Some people never win.

 

Congratulations to Sascha, what a ko, much better than Vitali, only TKO. :happy
