By John F. McKenna (McJack): (Super) WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO and The Ring heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) solidified his position as one of the most dominant heavyweight champions in boxing history when he scored his 50th KO on Saturday night. “Dr. Steelhammer” easily disposed of the totally outclassed former cruiserweight champion Jean-Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) at the ESPIRT arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Klitschko-Mormeck
Thompson not impressed with Wladimir’s win over Mormeck
By Allan Fox: Heavyweight contender Tony Thompson (36-2, 24 KO’s) didn’t see anything in IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s performance against Jean Mormeck last Saturday night that impressed him in the slightest. Wladimir, 35, stopped the short 5’11” Mormeck in the 4th round, limiting him to only four punches landed in their fight in front of 50,000+ fans at the ESPRIT arena, in Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
David Haye would have destroyed Mormeck in the 1st round last night
By Sean McDaniel: 39-year-old Jean-Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) fought as if he were 49 last night in losing by a 4th round TKO to a very cautious IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) in Dusseldorf, Germany. Mormeck landed an average of one punch in each round of the fight and looked completely out of his class in the fight.
Wladimir clinched 15 times in the 1st round against Mormeck
By William Mackay: I personally feel that a fighter clinching more than 10 times per round as clinching in excess to the point where it’s dulling the fight and getting in the way of action. In last Saturday’s fight between IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and Jean-Marc Mormeck, Wladimir clinches a whopping 15 times in the 1st round alone. That’s an astronomical number to be sure, but that wasn’t the only round in which Wladimir initiated a huge amount of clinches.
Wladimir gives warnings to smaller fighters about entering the heavyweight division
By William Mackay: After a two knockdown fourth round TKO win over the smaller 5’11” Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) last Saturday night, IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) warned other smaller fighters about what they’re up against if they move up in weight to the heavyweight division and attempt to challenge for a title.
The Klitschko’s are not to blame
By Marcus Sales: Yes I agree, the heavyweight division is rather dull. I watch DVDs of Ali’s classic contests with Joe Frazier and George Foreman and am saddened I was not alive to see such epic events unfold before my eyes. I am also a little young to have witnessed a prime, young Mike Tyson strike the fear of god into every man, woman an child in the late 1980’s. I am not however too young to appreciate what I have before my eyes right now.
Mormeck: The referee ended the fight too soon; he should have stopped Wladimir from pushing me down
By William Mackay: You got to feel sorry for Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) today after his 4th round TKO loss to IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) last night at the ESPRIT arena, in Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Mormeck, 39, did the best he could but he was nearly helpless to get his offense started due to the constant clinching from Wladimir. The referee gave Wladimir warnings for his holding but never took away points, which I feel he should have.
Wladimir could face Arreola later in 2012 after Tony Thompson fight
By Dan Ambrose: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) has very little wriggle room as far as his next fight goes, as he’s got his IBF mandatory challenger Tony Thompson has has to fight if he wants to retain his International Boxing Federation strap.
Wladimir beats Mormeck in huge mismatch, but fails to impress
By William Mackay: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) did a great job of trying to sell a badly overmatched former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) as a worthy opponent for him last night, even going so far as to say he’s Tyson-like despite evidence showing that he was the farthest thing from Tyson you could possibly get.
Wladimir should have had points taken off for his constant clinching against Mormeck
By Eric Thomas: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (57-3, 50 KO’s) got away with what I consider an excessive amount of clinching on Saturday night in defeating 5’11’ Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5, 22 KO’s) by a 4th round TKO at the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
