Last night's cruiserweight title bout
By JE Grant
Wayne "Big Truck" Braithwaite and Jean-Marc Mormeck's title struggle last night proves that the boxing's cruiserweight division is not inhabited by men plagued by arthritis or more interested in women's fitness than boxing. Mormeck is now the real champion and I hope this unification trend continues. Yes, it is a shame that the sanctioning bodies continue to reap big fees, but at least with a unification little doubt remains about who is on top.

Jean-Marc Mormeck looked good. For 9 rounds. I scored the fight 114 to 110 in his favor. But he took off rounds 10 & 11. Had he fought those two like he did the first nine, he would have closed the show. That is the difference between a special fighter and just another undercard filler match.
It was a night to shine. And he looked very good. Just not great.
