Tommy Z & Ravens Teammate Ray Lewis Exchange Words

Steve Cofield reports on a friendly war of words:

With the NFL in labor lockdown, Baltimore Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski has shown some stones by entering the world of professional boxing and winning two fights with relative ease. His teammate Ray Lewis isn’t impressed. The veteran NFL linebacker was asked how he would fare against Zbikowski in a boxing match.

    “Zbikowski would lose,” Lewis said as a guest on NFL Network. “We’ve already talked about that. Zbikowski is a realist when it comes to the sport. The locker room talk is always that about who can beat who. He’ll be the first to tell you he’s not going to get in the ring with a 250-pound person. That’s crazy!”

That’s big talk from a guy who’d be facing a 25-year-old with a lengthy amateur boxing background. And it sounds like Zbikowski missed out on that talk. Tommy Z told Dan Patrick last month that he’d beat anyone in the NFL (5:00 mark), including his teammate Lewis.
