GUYANA’S second world champion Wayne `Big Truck’ Braithwaite was cruising along victory street when he collided with a tank called Jean Marc Mormeck.

Braithwaite was undefeated in 21 fights and the holder of the World Boxing Council cruiserweight title when he met Mormeck at the DCU Centre in Massachusetts, USA on April 2, 2005.
It has been said that the `Big Truck’ ran into mechanical problems that night as he was out-hustled by the Frenchman, who was the World Boxing Association champion, and lost via a unanimous decision. Judge Peter Trematerra scored the fight 116-110, Chuck Hassett 114-112 and Glenn Fledman 115-111.
While Mormeck lost his next fight to O’Neil Bell, Braithwaite’s career went into a tailspin and he lost five of the following eight bouts. One was an embarrassing knockout at the hands of Barbadian Shawn Cox, fighting at home.
