By Dan Ambrose: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Kltischko (56-3, 49 KO’s) has decided to milk his title in what he hopes to be an easy fight against 39-year-old former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO’s) on March 3rd at the Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Provided that Wladimir doesn’t come up with some of ache or pain that sidelines him for another fight, we should be seeing Wladimir facing the smallish, aging Mormeck in front of 50,000 German fans in March. However, this is a fight where Wladimir has to really be on guard for a letdown. He’s been facing pretty much nothing but quality heavyweights for the past few years and for this fight, Wladimir has decided to pick an old smaller lion off the rear of the pack to for an easy kill and an easy payday.

But when you overlook guys that can still punch a tiny bit like Mormeck, there’s a chance that a fighter like Wladimir, with his weak chin, could get knocked out in the fight. It’s perfectly understandable for Wladimir to overlook Mormeck, because really Mormeck should have losses in his last four fights dating back to his 7th round TKO loss to David Haye in November 2007.

Mormeck moved up to the heavyweight division after sitting around and doing nothing for two solid years. When he did come back, Mormeck fought three consecutive fights against 2nd tier heavyweights – Vinny Maddalone, Fres Oquendo and Timur Ibragimov – in Mormeck’s home city of Paris, France. And Mormeck looked to have lost all three fights. I saw all of them and had Mormeck coming close to winning none of them.

It was some of the most pitiful scoring I think I’ve seen in ages. No way should Mormeck have won any of those fights, and that’s pretty sad. So what we have here is Wladimir facing a guy that arguably is coming into the fight with four consecutive losses his record. Wladimir obviously knows what he’s dealing with because he had to have watched Mormeck’s fights against Maddalone, Oquendo and Ibragimov and seen what I saw.

For this reason, Wladimir could be very cocky when the fight comes around on March 3rd, and he may get too confident and get blasted out. Mormeck is clearly a B level fighter at best, but he can punch a little and he’s facing a guy with a weak chin in Wladimir. An upset is a very real possibility in this fight.
