Why do all these guys from Eastern Europe claim a German nationality?

Shades of Jurgen Brahmer/Erdei at lt. heavy.
The whole idea of interim champions and super champions is bull****. Chris John/Gamboa is another classic example, where the longtime WBA champion (John) is elevated to Super Champion and Gamboa beats a 37-year-old can of corn for the WBA title. In the end, John and Gamboa will probably never meet in the ring so we have two WBA champions

No. Vitali won the interim title with an excellent performance fighting Humberto Gutierrez.

I kinda agree here, the interim **** is a bit confusing at times but at least its only the WBC who do it. It make a certain logical sense but in practice it means guys like this dude become world champion without a title fight.

You usually have to either reign for a while as champ or be a really big name for a SUPER CHAMPION distinction.

Unfortunately, the other governing bodies do it too. Just not quite so often

Tunney, you're right, Vitali legitimately beat Gutierrez. I think he's talking about the fact that there was an existing champion, Soto, that he never had to fight to get the title. He fought the second string "champion." Vitali looks like a good young boxer, but he never would have beaten Soto
