By Dan Ambrose: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO’s) will be facing one of his shortest opponents of his career on Saturday night when he takes on 5’11” Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO’s) on Saturday night in front of what will likely be a minimum of 50,000 fans at the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The 6’7″ Wladimir will be towering over the shorter Mormeck and this is going to be a huge mismatch unless Mormeck can get close enough to put a dent in Wladimir’s vulnerable chin.
