By William Mackay: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO’s) is amused about his 39-year-old challenger Jean Marco Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO’s) saying he’s going to break Wladiimir’s glass jaw on December 17th at the Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

While Wladimir is a huge favorite to make easy work of the short 5’10” Mormeck, Wladimir is taking him a serious threat and plans on making sure that Mormeck gets as few chances as possible for him to land any of his punches in the fight. This means that Wladimir is going to be using his power jab like usual and will be doing a lot of moving to prevent Mormeck from having a stationary target for him to home in on.

Wladimir told the Dailymotion.com “He [Mormeck] said I’m going to take your belts and break your glass chin. Those threats are dangerous and I’m getting a little nervous and scared. I can lose by belts, so I want to make sure I’m going to be in shape. I want to make a checkmate, and a checkmate in boxing is a KO. And I want to knock out Jean Marco Mormeck. I won’t want to offend you, because I have a jaw made of glass, so I don’t want to get hit.”

Unlike his last fight against former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, Wladimir doesn’t have much to work with in promoting this fight. Mormeck doesn’t speak English and hasn’t been nearly as good as Haye was in helping to hype the fight. As such, Wladimir has done a lot of himself and seems to be repeating the same quotes as he’s used since the promoting of the fight began.

This fight is a mismatch and Wladimir needs help if he’s going to make this a big fight. Right now the Wladimir-Mormeck fight is perceived as a total mismatch and few fans are interesting in seeing it. I’m sure a lot of boxing fans will tune in to see it just so they can follow Wladimir, but it’s not fight that you’ll want to put off something special just to see it.
