K.O.W. - The Banker Cashes Out

As all you No Masians probably know, I had (have, I guess) some serious love for The Boxing Banker, Calvin Brock, mostly because I started following him at the Sydney Olympics, where I was on hand to witness his only bout (which he lost miserably - I sure can pick em).

But that love is not why I have chosen his knockout of Zuri Lawrence for this edition of the No Mas Knockout of the Week. It's because this coming Friday said Zuri, brave soul, is venturing into the ring for the first time since Brock nearly decapitated his ass not quite a year ago.

It was last February on the Sugar Shane/Vargas I undercard. The odd thing is that Zuri was handling himself in there pretty well and probably was ahead on the scorecards. Then again, knockouts be like that, and this right here is a straight-up one-punch goodnight Irene of the highest order. Ref has the paramedics in the ring almost before Zuri hits the canvas. Now maybe you'll understand why I lost all that money on Brock against Klitschko. A left hook like this can make a man a believer.
