V. KLITSCHKO RETAINS TITLE

(From Sportinglife.com)
===============================
VITALI WINS IN 10

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko produced an uninspiring performance as he forced a 10th round stoppage of London-based Pole Albert Sosnowski in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

The Ukrainian, regarded as the best in the division, was typically pedestrian for much of the contest, jabbing at his challenger mechanically.

He forced the finish by stepping up the workrate with a minute left of the 10th, flooring former European champion Sosnowski with a right before referee Jay Nady stepped in.

Klitschko was happy with his performance.

"I was in good form," he said. "Sosnowski is younger than me, but people saw that I did well against him.

"My experience got me through."
