Tommy Zbikowski vs. Caleb Grummet -Baltimore Ravens safety survived a tough battle of the heavyweights against Caleb Grummet of Grand Rapids, MI. Zbikowsky came out strong in the first two rounds but seems to lose steam in the last two. That was enough though to salvage a UD win over the much bigger Grummet. A deduction for a low blow in the 3rd did not help Grummet's cause.This is Zbikowski's 3rd fight overall and his 2nd fight in two weeks.He was cheered heavily by Ravens fans who made the 2 hour travel from the neighboring state.
