Wlady vs Jean-Marc & other fights thread

[shza]

Mormeck has had exciting fights against Haye and Bell, but he's pushing 40 and he's taken a lot of punishment in his career. It's a tune-up for Wlad that's true, but it's not really worth watching (even though I will) as it won't be anything more than a glorified sparring session. JMM <- haha, I guess J-MM will be heading for retirement soon enough. I'm ready to get excited for a new heavyweight.

I like watching fights from Germany Killer, it's interesting, even when it's a fucking mismatch like this one. Germans get all decked out and dressed up like they're going to see a rendition of "Siegfried" and "Götterdämmerung,", and make a real glittry/showy production out of HW championship fights. Maybe Haye and Chisora will show up in Düsseldorf and start heckling Wlad & Vitali or better yet, kill each other that would be fun.

The ringwalks they've had have been fantastic. The one with the holograms of heavyweight champs was great.

Plus a new Boris Becker interview. I'm dying to hear what he's been up to since last weekend.

Gotta love the Germans, such a fun loving, jovial bunch.

And while you're at it, ask the Poles how fun loving Stalin and the Soviets were, the Poles had it rough, during WWII, and for a long time afterwards.

Wladimir Klitschko not taking Mormeck matchup lightly: (yeah right)

Arreola could be next in NYC:

A little of Mormeck sparring for you....doesn't look like he'll be all that hard to find from this display

Mormeck is a little over 5' 11", Wlad is 6' 6", he won't be all that hard to find except that Wlad will be punching down at him. Manny said something about Wlad needing to be careful not to break a hand on Mormecks head.

Mormeck is certainly trying his hand at the Tyson style. Bobbing and weaving his way in.

However, the guy he was sparring was pawing with the jab and throwing light right hands, also he didn't appear to be 6'7" like Wladimir is.

Also when Mormeck got on the inside he wasn't unloading hard shots, I know its sparring, but for such a serious fight Mormeck should be getting harder sparring.

This card is scheduled to start today @ about 4:45 PM ET time here in North America or 9:45 PM in the UK and Germany. Some of the undercard fights may be shown earlier depending on the live feed or network you get.

At Düsseldorf, Germany (Epix and EpixHD.com): Wladimir Klitschko vs. Jean-Marc Mormeck, 12 rounds, for Klitschko's Ring/WBO/IBF/WBA heavyweight title; Ola Afolabi vs. Valery Brudov, 12 rounds, for vacant WBO interim cruiserweight title; Alexander Ustinov vs. Kertson Manswell, 8 rounds, heavyweights; Stefan Worth vs. Laszlo Toth, 8 rounds, welterweights.

The main event figures to be a one sided snoozer, but the Germans put on a pretty good show, and maybe the undercard will be good.

Skelton turning the hands of time and beating up Dallas.

I like that matchup, Wlad-Arreola....it would be very good.

Hulk, Mormeck doesn't have the handspeed or power needed to effectively use the Tyson style. I do think in the public sparring Mormeck was sandbagging and trying to get people to say "Man he doesn't look good at all" because Mormeck and Rooney are hoping Wlad and Manny have started to look past this fight.
