WBC cruiserweight champion Wayne Braithwaite (21-0, 17 KOs) has won 15 out of his past 16 bouts by knockout. He plans to add WBA counterpart Jean-Marc Mormeck to his list of victims on April 2 in a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING clash at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass.
"I want to unify the belts," Braithwaite said. "I am ‘the man’ in the division, and if I have to go through everybody to prove it, I will. This is a division that needs a spark, and I am it. Mormeck is nothing, and I am not worried about him at all. He is a very strong fighter, but he does not know how to move his head. He has only one style. He is not a complete fighter.
My best quality is that I can fight both ways. I have skills. I am a boxer-puncher. He has never fought anyone who moves or has hand speed like me. I am going to make Mormeck’s big head a punching bag. I guarantee that I will still be undefeated after the fight. But, I am not going to box him, I am going to knock him out.(Boxing News)
Cant wait for this one either.Get ready to be the 18th Ko victim Mr Mormeck, lol.
I really hope Braithwaite wins. I saw him working out at Gleason's in Brooklyn and he looked good. I have always been a fan of his, but after seeing him I am rooting for him even more. I have never seem Mormeck fight, so I really don't know how good the guy is. From what I hear, this will be a difficult fight for Wayne, but I really hope he pulls it off.
