Jean-Marc Mormeck has
often been asked when fighting in the United States, why he has yet to adopt
an intimidating nickname like so many other boxers do. The good-natured
Frenchman responded to such a question at a press conference prior to his
SHOWTIME-televised unification win on April 2 in Worcester, Mass., that he
would take submissions from Americans on his web site. Mormeck then decided
to let fans make the final decision on SHO.com
SHOWTIME will launch a
special feature on Sho.com/boxing on Monday, Dec. 19, whereby participants
can vote on one of the five nicknames that Mormeck has selected. Voting will
remain open until the night of the undisputed cruiserweight unification bout
– Saturday, Jan. 7 at 9 p.m. ET on SHOWTIME. The nickname with the most
votes will be revealed to Mormeck and the rest of the world as the WBC & WBA
Champion enters the ring for his bout with IBF Champ O’Neil “Super Nova”
Bell.
"Americans have always
asked me why I don't have a fighter nickname," said Mormeck. "So, I have
decided they will choose for me."
With several submissions
from his American fans, Jean-Marc Mormeck has chosen these top five as his
favorites and is asking online participants to help pick out his nickname.
