Zbikowski wins in 1st-round KO

Ravens safety/boxer Tom Zbikowski has his NFL lockout plan already in full motion.

Boxing for the second time as a pro, Zbikowski stepped into the ring Saturday night and knocked out Richard Bryant in just 1:45 of a scheduled four-round fight on the undercard of the Miguel Cotto-Ricardo Mayorga title fight.

Zbikowski, who last fought while still attending Notre Dame, earned $50,000 and dropped Bryant with a left hook to the body. Referee Russell Mora waved the fight to a close after Bryant got up at the count of seven.

"I was looking to get a little more work but you take a win any way you can get it," Zbikowski said. "I know I hurt him with the hook, you could feel the air come out."

Zbikowski plans to fight next on March 26 in Atlantic City, N.J. "I wanted to get the ring rust off in this fight," he said. "Right now this isn't a second career for me. It's a first career."

Leading up to his fight on Saturday, Zbikowski appeared on The Dan Patrick Show to discuss which NFL player he'd like to get in the ring.

Ochocinco"[Chad] Ochocinco talks like he can box," Zbikowski said of the Cincinnati Bengals receiver.

Ochocinco, who incorporates boxing as part of his offseason training, responded to Zbikowski via Twitter.

"You [want to] go nite nite, you want to box me, for 1 your feet are [too] slow and you've no hand speed to even be competitive," Ochocinco tweeted.

No word if Zbikowski vs. Ochocinco is in the works for this offseason.
