Competitor (seed): Tom Zbikowski (4)
Nickname: Tommy Z (think about it…)
Height: 5’11″
Weight: 215
Reach: Taken by the Ravens in the third round.
Sponsor: Affliction
Ring Music: Notre Dame Victory March
Hometown: Arlington Heights, Illinois. It’s also been called home by a deaf chick, a couple of soccer players, a YouTube guy, and a dickhole (actually the deaf chick called it something more like “ho-am”).
Pedigree: He’s actually a real boxer.
Strength: He’s one of those rare white athletes that doesn’t require qualifiers like “scrappy” or “gritty”.
Weakness: Football
Predilection towards violence:
Fighting Style: Tommy would prefer to work his way inside against the larger boxers in the heavyweight division. He can land looping and lunging power shots from the outside, but if he stays on the end of his opponents punches he’s going to find himself in a lot of trouble. Since he’s a Notre Dame product he already fights like a champion today, or so he likes to think.
Competitor (seed): Vernon Gholston (13)
Nickname: The Ghost
Height: 6’3″
Weight: 264
Reach: The Jets drafted him despite his aversion to football.

Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Pedigree: Gholston has been an avid weightlifter and fitness buff since a young age.
Strength: Strength
Weakness: Buckeyes are notorious bitches.
Predilection towards violence: See hometown.
Fighting Style: Gholston is all about power and speed. He attacks his opponent by going straight forward and flurrying with combinations. He relies heavily on brute force which leads to a lot of quick bouts, but his defense is non-existent.

This forum site is very wonderful
when will this round end so we can go to round 2 obviously Tommy won time to move on
I live in Alrington Heights, a few blocks away from Tommy actually.
Clicking dickhole gets Ted Nugent. Perfect.
I think Tommy Zbikowski is tough and a stud, but he is way smaller than Gholston. The big black guy is fro Detroit and the way smaller Zibby is a suburban white boy. The early rounds might go to zibby because of speed, but Gholston would just destroy Zibby with his huge powerfull punches. In the end the little white Polish boy goes down bloody and beaten by the black giant.
I’d take Zibby. I was at that fight at MSG, and he absolutely murdered his opponent. It was pretty cool.
Gholston!!!
Teddy Atlas is a consultant for the Jets … nuff said!
If Zibby wins will he’ll get a congradulatory punch in the nuts from Andrew Golota.
How many Polacks does it take to win a boxing match?
Deaf chicks rule!
OK, well I begrudgingly take Zibby, but Ghost shoots him in the kneecap during the fight Last Boy Scout style FTW.
DETROIT REPRESENT!!!!
It’s a boxing match, the presumption is that they are both trained boxers as opposed to football players.
Gholston kicks Zibby’s ass since this is just a street fight not a technical boxing match right?
Boxing = Zibby
Street fight = The Ghost
And Zibby’s not Rocky so stop dreaming people.
Actually, at Notre Dame they also have the biggest boxing program in the country outside of the military academies.
Since he doesn’t have to hold onto the ball during a punt return. I give the advantage to Zibby.
In Detroit, they kill people. At Notre Dame, they pray for people.
Which one am I more scared of? That’s Gholston.
\both would fuck me up in 5 secs.
Tommy Z. It’ll be like in one of those cartoons where Mickey Mouse outsmarts the lumbering giant. Plus, you know, white athletes = scrappiness and all that.
Zbikowki WINS..THEN WE ALL GO HOME TO EAT KIELBASA & PIEROGIS
In boxing, I always follow Lt. Frank Drebin’s advice: “Never bet on the white guy.”
Ill take the pugilist… GO IRISH
ZIBBY!
/A homer, but also not incorrect.
@UM
Or the Mrs. is in the car ready to go, but he’s frantically looking for his belt with the lacrosse sticks embroidered on it.
Zibby. 1) He’s a Domer. 2) A good, technical boxer can easily dismantle a bigger, stronger brawler. 3) Boxing is one of the few sports where the white man can still excel and I like to see the disadvantaged succeed.
If Zbikowski had his hands down any lower, that would have been a Rocky movie fight.
Black guy born in Detroit beats white Notre Dame alum raised in the suburbs every time.
‘He’s one of those rare white athletes that doesn’t require qualifiers like “scrappy” or “gritty”.’
Although, Todd McShay thinks he has a motor that just keeps running.
He’s waiting for his pink Vineyard Vines tie to come back from the cleaners.
Christ, Drew. Go on vacation already…
Gotta go with Whitey… mobility can be everything in these kerfuffles, or so Fight Night 3 tells me.
I’ll take the deaf chick (marie ?) ftw… MILF boobs don’tcha know.
Vernon would crack that cracka.
