It wasn't a "successful" defence as he didn't win (under the unified rules) he only has the belt because he walked into the fight with it. They're basically in a holding pattern, If he loses against wonderboy in the rematch (perish the thought) no one is going cite 205 as a legitimate defence, #209 will just look like a continuation.
You don't have to win to defend the belt
you have to win to get the belt you fukking moron

he defended the belt, he prevented it from being taken
The fought for the belt he didn't lose it
