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.
Wlad's fought short guys before...I would assume that the uppercut will be used by Wlad a bit more. The way Mormeck's head is, he is leading with the very hardest part, but Wlad's no dope, he knows how to handle it. Mormeck's punches also don't look quick and compact, it could be to try and lull Wlad to sleep, but really it's not going to be a problem. Wlad has the length and accuracy to keep Mormeck at bay, Mormeck can't move his feet all that well, and Wlad will eventually stand him up and knock him out.

It'll be extremely hard to keep bobbing & weaving without taking damage...hopefully Kevin Rooney gets some success from this venture. Rooney is even starting to look like Cus, bald head and all.
There's probably not too many boxing fans around who even know who Kevin Rooney is. He had his 15 minutes of fame being Tyson's trainer for a few fights before falling off the face of the fucking earth.
Mormeck would probably be better off fighting like he always has, trying to imitate Tyson at this late stage in his career, is silly.

Wlad and Manny are pretending this isn't a mismatch to build up/promote the fight a bit, and to have an excuse in case Mormeck lands that one in a million shot on Wlady's china chin.
