If you were looking for the next big thing in an American heavyweight contender, you're still looking. Sometime tap dancer Calvin Brock, amidst much hype and fanfare, was to be anointed as the American heavyweight most likely to succeed where all of the others have failed when he faced fellow undefeated heavyweight Timor Ibragimov from Uzbekistan on Saturday night at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Brock turned in a performance flatter than day old beer while stumbling to a unanimous twelve round decision over Ibragimov. With the "victory" Brock actually took a step backwards in his career and the fight really did him more harm than good in the opinion of many. Brock's previous fight came to a scintillating, one-punch knockout end against Zuri Lawrence that had a lot of people talking. But this fight was boring, the crowd booed and the bout was enough to put anybody into a coma. [details]
