Mormeck vs. Haye

I'm also pinning for Mormeck to come into the ring with his trademark blonde goatee, and David Haye to come into the ring with his big ass afro, should make for the most ridiculous looking world class fight ever.

 

Haye for all his obvious strengths is also a flawed fighter as well. This won't be an easy assignment. Haye could blow Mormeck out of the ring but he might find himself in a tough fight against the rugged frenchman. If Haye's power can keep Mormeck away he will win, if Mormeck can walk through haye's bombs he can punish the weight drained Haye on the inside. Having had a few drinks I'll be optimistic and pick Haye by KO in the middle rounds.

 

Haye is going to be a bit special at heavy. He has too much for Mormeck. Haye by stoppage before halfway

 

I think a big factor is down to what approach each boxer takes. Haye might try to finish it early, given his unreliable stamina and the fact that Bell stopped Mormeck (in the middle rounds, but Haye is a much bigger and more precise one-punch boxer than Bell). If Mormeck also, recognising his limited stamina, tries to finish it early then we may have a Foreman-Lyle kind of fight on our hands.

One advantage Haye has is that he can, if needs be, box in the early portion of the fight. Mormeck could try that, but while he can box a bit I don't think he could win rounds against a faster, taller and more skilled opponent. He pretty much won the second Bell fight in the first 8 rounds on my card, but trailed off badly after that. If they both start slowly, Mormeck will be in the unenviable position of having to take risks in the second half of the fight in order to win. That puts him in a very bad situation, because Haye has now shown that he carries his punch into the final third of the fight.

Finally, Mormeck may start quickly and Haye slowly. Given that this is Haye's second title attempt after that disaster against Thompson, I think he may well be a bit tenative early on. Mormeck may try to get him out early. If so, it becomes an interesting 50-50 fight. Mormeck could run into a counter-shot and not recover. On the other hand, he could break down Haye and stop him in the middle rounds. Mormeck's success with this approach will depend on how much pressure he applies: if he takes a risk and applies constant pressure early, he can get Haye out of there. If he fights in spurts, then he risks a repeat of the first Bell fight.

I think Haye has slightly more ways to win the fight, so he's the favourite in my book, but I've followed Mormeck long enough to know that you can NEVER count him out.

 

It seems Haye looses this one. Mormeck is no Bonin or Fragomeni.
Early KO by Haye is possible. Otherwise Haye is going to get hit very often and then TKOed.

 

Haye by late ko

 

I'm going with Mormeck by mid to late KO. Haye looked awesome against Bonin, but that was a healthier, happier heavyweight Haye. Haye himself has said that he won't be at his max potential when he fights Mormeck at Cruiserweight, and his showing against Fragomeni didn't overly impress me. The two Bell fights have put Mormeck's chin and stamina in question, but I think the Frenchman will pull it together and score a dramatic KO victory in a pretty exciting fight.

GO MORMECK!

Mormeck TKO10

 

Should be an awesome fight, whoever wins.

 

Haye KO 11th round. Mormeck will swarm Haye to neutralise the straight right but his stamina won't take him the distance. By the mid-rounds Haye will be winning the fight and finally Mormeck will be too gassed to keep up the pressure and will go down.

 

Great post :good

 

It's a very interesting fight. As much as I like Haye, Mormeck has to be favourite based on his career to date.
