    Calvin Brock blind in one eye

    "I need to find other ways of making a living. Boxing has been my living, and I’ll need to make that transition until vision comes back in my eye."

    **********: What’s the latest and greatest with Calvin Brock?

    Calvin Brock: I’ve been searching for another career path. I had that surgery back in November on my eye, and now I can’t box because I don’t have vision in my right eye. But I’m standing on faith in God to fix that, then I’ll get back to being champion of the world.


    **********: What does this mean for your boxing career?

    Calvin Brock: I’ve been preparing myself by going to real estate school, and getting my license. I’m doing it more as a broker than an investor. I finished up on the training program to become a State Farm agent. I’d also love to be a fight commentator, but it would take HBO, Showtime, and ESPN to make the move.


    **********: As we approach the midpoint of 2008, what would you like to accomplish for the remainder of the year?

    Calvin Brock: I need to find other ways of making a living. Boxing has been my living, and I’ll need to make that transition until vision comes back in my eye.

    Man poor guy, i feel bad for him. I hope hes able to get everything together.

        Thats kind of of crap I suppose he must have made a fair bit of money in the Wlad fight and he is a banker so he probably invested it well. He did well for what he had no one thought Brock would get a title shot after watching him at the Olympics, He had a good roll and beat Mccline who was a solid heavyweight. He might have won a belt if he didn’t go after the Wlad fight.

          It's to bad he's only blind in one eye. If he was blind in both eyes he could make a good living as a boxing judge in Las Vegas based on some of the recent scoring!!!!

                    Damn. At least Brock is one of those few boxers who you don't really worry about being ok. His nickname says it all. Seems like a smart dude.
