Wladimir Klitschko says he wants to knockout Jean Marco Mormeck – Boxing news
Dr. Steelhammer, Wladimir Klitschko, who is the current WBA (Super), IBF, WBO Super, IBO & Ring Magazine Champion, has insisted he wants to knockout former WBC & WBA unified world cruiserweight champion, Jean Marco Mormeck, in the their upcoming fight on
December 10, 2011 at the Esprit Arena, Düsseldorf in Germany.
The 39-year-old Frenchman, Mormeck, who is more commonly known as the Marksman, not too long ago claimed Wladimir has a glass jaw and he will not be able to stand his power. Therefore, the 6 ft 6 in Ukrainian giant does not want to take any risks.
The 35-year-old, Wladimir, who holds a record of winning 56 of his 59 professional fights, with 49 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, told the media he never takes his opponent lightly as a result to which he is preparing to be in the best shape
of his life so that he wins the fight by way of a knockout.
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.”
Mormeck carries a record of winning 36 of his 40 professional fights, with 22 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout but he will not have any physical advantages over his opponent.
Wladimir, who is more commonly known as Dr. Steelhammer, on the same note will have the height and reach advantages over Mormeck. However, the only plus point for Mormeck is that he will have no pressure since he will be an underdog on the fight night.
Nevertheless, let’s see if Wladimir can really make Mormeck his 50th knockout as otherwise it will be one of the biggest upsets.
