    When A Win is A Loss

    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]

    Who cares how you win, as long as you keep winning. (Besides the fans)
    It worked for Winky Wright and it can work for Calvin Brock.

          But saying that last Saturday was a step backwards in Brock's career is simply an asinine statement.
          You have to be incredibly ****** to actully believe that.
          Brock wasnt knocked down, or hurt.
          He won nearly every round.
          Yes, it was boring.
          Step back?
          Absolutly not.

              Any win is better than a loss. This will inch the Brock wagon along.

              His prospective title shot is with Klitscho isn’t it? I think an uninspiring win brings that match closer. A 1 round KO would probably make that match harder to get.
