    Honestly, he looked slow as molasses and didn't appear to have absolutely any power at all. Wlad threw him around like a rag doll prior to hitting him and ending the "fight".

    Agree with you 100%. I wonder if Wlad just scared the crap out of him?

    Mormeck was a good cruiserweight, and he's way past it now.

    He was boxing at Cruiser his natural weight, a totally different weight class, in France several years ago and not at 40 years old perhaps...

    I feel like Wlad gave Haye way too much respect in their fight. In all probability, Wlad could've sparked him fairly easily.

    he had 12 rounds to decide when to stop respecting him.

    I know, kinda pitiful. Wlad was sucking instead of being the killer his brother is.

    Like it or not, Haye very much caught Wlad's attention with a few punches on the night. Wlad also found it hard to lay a meaningful glove on Haye all night. He could have pushed more, agreed, they both could have, sadly neither fighter did, but I think folk are fooling themselves if they think everything was just in Wlad's hands, he was cautious for a reason.

    Cruiserweight Mormeck was like a piece of iron, with the exception
    of against O'neil Bell and Haye. I remember when he ran through
    Braithwaite, he looked like a destroyer.

    No doubt there. I watched the fight live on tv. Haye landed one right hand that hurt Wlad a little and made him tentative I guess. Boring fight.

    Wlad used to be a beast before he got with Manny. He was a brutal combo-machine in his early days. An all-out offensive fighter. Not now.

    Big Truck sucked anyway. Saw him get hammered on the Golota/Bowe II undercard.
