Ding would have a valid shot against Jean-Marc

Mormeck is also 5'10, Nwodo is tall and has reach. The height makes a big difference for a powder keg fighter like Ding.

I'd take Ding over Mormeck, he can take Mormeck's best, but Mormeck won't be able to take his and Ding can carry his power late if needed.

 

I think Ding would destroy Mormeck inside of two rounds.

 

I agree. Bell's workrate, chin, and reach would frustrate Ding badly, but he would be a very live dog against Mormeck. You have to give Ding a chance to beat anyone that hittable.

 

I'd say 6-8, Mormeck is good, but his style plays into Ding's style, where as Nwodo had clear significant advantages over a short, slower hooking bomber like Ding.

Ding's a slugger, Mormeck is a swarmer, works well.

 

This Nwodo tonight had the right tools to beat Bell, Bell's chin is average at best. However, Mormeck would have laid out Nwodo early on due to his early swarming.

 

Mormeck has had some stamina problems in his past few fights. Ding can take Jean-Marc's best shots and Mormeck will always be right in front of Ding to hit. Ding stuns Mormeck in the 6th, takes out a gassed Mormeck in the 9th or 10th.

 

I'd say he removes him near to when he has him stunned and running, Ding hits much harder than Bell.

 

From the way Ding looked tonight, I would see him getting stopped within 6 rounds by mormeck. If he could last and Mormeck gasses the reverse would be true. If it goes to the cards Id still favor Mormeck right now.

I'd favor Bell over Ding as well. I'd really like to pull for ding in these fights and I would be, but the workrate he had tonight was horrendous and he just looks like he will get outworked at the premiere level.

Ding landed 6 total jabs in 8 rounds. Averaged about 24 total punches thrown a round and landed at a terrible rate.

If it wasn;t for that massive ending by Ding he was on his way to a decision loss in this fight.

 

Ding has a valid shot against Mormeck. I'd pick him to win it. Mormeck doesnt have the size advantage and will come in and trade with him. Ding can handle mormecks best I'm sure but Mormeck wont be able to handle Dings.

Mormecks style makes a good fight for Ding.

 

:roll:

 

Mormeck lacks the height and reach of Nwodo however, and his style plays into Ding's style. Completely different scenerio.

Mormeck is also not a one punch KO hitter by any means, he couldn't put away chinny Bell on two occassions, there is no way he puts away Ding by coming forward and getting into a slugfest.

 

Mormeck is a hard puncher. Maybe not a single shot monster like Ding, but Mormeck is a pretty relentless guy in the early rounds and throws many hard punches and has the serious advantage over ding in a couple key areas. Those areas are hand speed, combination punching and IMO he is a very rugged inside fighter. Nwodo stung Ding once pretty bad, I can see mormeck being more effective early.

One thing that really bothered me tonight was Ding;s complaining to the ref, many rounds like he didnt want to fight, his own corner almost stopped it. He complained of headbutts (legit) rabbit shots etc. Mormeck will be very rough like that and I think it will bother Ding in a bad way.

I obviosuly see the style difference and its pretty safe to say a mover with good hand speed and reach would be a terrible style for Ding. Mormeck is more Ding's style I agree, I still favor Mormeck.

Just one man's opinion here, I'd love to see the fight come off and Ding ready to be more active than he was tonight.

 

Ding has a shot against any cruiserweight right now who slugs it out
