The fight was stopped in the seventh round after Vigne"s fourth meeting with the mat.

Now Konecny is calling out Michelle Piccirillo for the WBO"s top contendership at 154-pounds. "Konecny would [love] a rematch against Piccirillo," Thomas Wischnewski of SES Boxing, Konecny"s management, proclaimed after the fight. "We want to talk with Piccirillo."

Piccirillo won a unanimous decision over Konecny in a 2006 EBU junior middleweight title fight, but was knocked down in the second round. This match would enhance the stakes: a shot at Sergiy Dzinziruk"s WBO junior middleweight crown.
