Both men were in tremendous shape and motivated, but Sosnowski faced the same problem that all Klitschko opponents face.

Sosnowski tired late in the fight and the right hands began to take a toll, buckling him in the tenth and then sending him sprawling into the corner, forcing the referee to immediately wave it off.<\/p>\n<p>The courage of the challenger was on full display but he didn\u2019t have the skills to overcome the height, reach, and experience advantages of the champion.
