How did that happen? Who do you reckon he will defend his title against?

well before the fight, the top 15 looked like...

1. Andreas Kotelnik
2. Marcos Rene Maidana
3. Dimitri Salita
4. Yodsanan Nanthachai
5.Lamont Peterson
6. Willy Blain
7. Demitrius Hopkins
8.Timothy Bradley
9.Cesar Rene Cuenca
10. David Torres
11.Gavin Rees
12. Breidis Prescott
13. Victor Ortiz
14.Daudi Bahari
15. Norio Kimura


to be honest, i only know of kotelnick and hopkins from that list, and i don't think it'll be either of those (definitely not d-hop!). warren needs to pick someone big, one-dimensional and slow like mbaye - he'd struggle against anyone slick, or with speed

Can you not see one of the big boys coming across from another organisation to gain an easy belt?

From that list I see Andreas Kotelnik as the obvious choice, European, not a huge puncher and he has had close fights with Souleymane M'baye and Witter.

Thats a good shout as Kotelnik is a Warren boxer I think therefore he will want to keep control of the belt (if he can of course)
