Wlady vs Jean-Marc & other fights thread

[Mars_ax]

Is Mormeck a mandatory for Wlad? I don't understand why this mismatch was even put together. But nonetheless, it's a HW title fight this afternoon here in North America and on at a reasonable time in the UK. (like 9:00 PM) So it's a fight Saddoboxing can watch together.

March 3
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.

I'm not even going to ask who you've got.

Let's put it this way, I can't see Mormeck going the distance.

Hmmm,

Wlad to win via KO by round 4 or 5 sounds fair.

Sigh

i hope wlad does KO him within 4 or 5 rounds

he seemed more agressive against haye than ever before and he might do if he fights that way

i think it will be a KO from the 8th onwards and another jab jab jab fight for the first 7 rounds

i dont see mormeck landing anything

(actually my first sentence isnt true, i hope moremeck KOs wlad and im not bothered which round but that isnt gonna happen)

Wlad should have him out of there within 6 rounds, but knowing Wlad he's going to just jab for 6 before he throws a right hand.

this is an utter joke.

At HW, Mormeck beat Vinny Madalone. No big accomplishment.

He got a gift against Oquendo. I have watched that fight. Oquendo won the fight.

followed up by a controversial decision against Timur Ibragimov. And Ibragimov got destroyed recently by prospect Seth Mitchell.

Mormeck got this fight because he was available and WILLING to fight Wladimir. Wlad could have waited, he may have gotten a better fight, but he wants to remain active. I can't defend the fight being made, but I'm hoping Wlad acts quick and gets the KO early on as it's been a while since his last early KO.

I hope a better opponent comes along soon.



I am intrigued by what (if anything) Rooney can add to Mormeck's corner....this is a bigger mismatch than Kevin Rooney vs Alexis Arguello

Hmmm,

Wlad to win via KO by round 4 or 5 sounds fair.

Sigh

Sometimes being right is just no fun.

Looks like mastering Tyson's style didn't work for Mormeck, maybe he should have tried punching as well. I was shocked that Wladimir actually stopped him in 4, I though he would still be jabbing till the 6th.
