Zibby The Boxer

[IrishBlood81]

Hey,
I searched this and didn't find any other threads so I think Zibby deserves it. (Also, Mods, if this is the wrong forum, thanks for moving it )

Most recent article concerning him;
Notre Dame football: Former Irish safety improves to 4-0 as a pro boxer - southbendtribune.com

Older article about him being the best NFL Boxer ever;
The Best Boxer in NFL History - WSJ.com

Extremely impressive for this guy. I would not want to fight him in a match. I really hope he stays undefeated and keeps poppin' off his opponents.
Go Zibby!!

yea hes doing well, i caught the end of his latest fight on tv saturday night, i thought i was a rerun of one of his other fights but i guess he knocked some dude out first round again!

good for him.

Im glad he is doing well, its always good to start out undefeated but you always start your career out fighting cup cakes to build up confidence. I want to see him fight a legit seasoned fighter soon.

I want to see him fight bigger names/bodies before I assume he is good.

He's good; but I agree about fighting 'bigger name' guys.

Although he beat a really REALLY tough guy in his last fight he was a decorated MMA fighter not a boxer. But all pros have to work their way up fighting frequently before they get a shot at anyone who's a true contender. Chances are the lockout will be over before he ever gets there.

I agree. Hes done great, but he still has got a lot to prove.
I do think hes got it though, like when he takes it to the next level, he'll bring it!

whats up with the nipple tat

also is it just me or does that guy he's fighting have a shi t eating grin on his face?

one more thing, the guy kept asking for more and then gets knocked the f out too funny!

I could give a damn about how good he is.

He's mean.

Meaner than a junkyard dog. The guy has a nose for weakness. He smells blood.

I dig it.

If the lockout is over, is he done boxing?

Man, I hope not! but...he said he won't do both at the same time and prefers Football so...probably

I don't want to turn this into an all around just boxing forum but after seeing the Ward Gatti fight, this is another amazing round.

Talk about your all-time backfires. Interesting interplay between the lockout status, the timing of the drug test and the NFL's substance abuse policy forthcoming....

Read the article, it looks like a false positive:
"After the fight, all the fighters tested were positive"

Second drug test comes back clean for NFL safety Tom Zbikowski - Chicago Sun-Times

Already tested negative on a more comprehensive test.

 

[jason_h537]

Passed the second test but he "failed" for marijuana. Not exactly something that will help in the ring.

I really thought long and hard about going down to the casino in Oklahoma where he was fighting this last fight. Zibby is my favorite player...I mean, Hell, who embodied the Fighting Irish more than a safety who's also a Golden Gloves boxer?! Zibby is The Man.

I definitely would have went to that fight if i knew he was going to be there. WinStar is only about a half hour from me.

I'm more focused when I'm stoned. And heck, if I see 3 of the guy I'm gonna just hit the one in the middle..........Thats after I eat my swiss cake rolls in the corner.
