Zibby fighting again

Tom Zbikowski, who won his first fight at (Video) Madison Square Garden, will get in the Squared Circle once again. In his first fight, last June, he defeated Robert Bell in a 49-second technical knockout. This time he will fight Kevin Murphy on March 6 in a heavyweight exhibition bout at the Century Center in South Bend, Ind., according to a published report.

The fight will be a benefit for Hannah & Friends, Cystic Fibrosis and Make-A-Wish foundations. Hannah & Friends was started by Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis.

Zbikowski considered entering the NFL draft this April, but instead will return for another year at Notre Dame. He may take part in several other charity bouts, as long as they don't interfere with spring practice that begins March 21, according to the report.

If any of you out there have ever trained like a boxer, you know what it takes. I think this can only help his (Video) fitness and overall strength. That is, as long as he doesn't get his butt knocked out....which I think is very unlikely. They say he doesn't have the greatest speed, but i never see him (Video) get caught from behind.
