We have one question if Tom Zbikowski and Chad Ochocinco actually meet in the boxing ring.
Who will Marvin Lewis root for?

OK, Zbikowski is a Ravens safety, but he has a chance to do something that the Bengals coach probably has wanted to do on occasion: smack his receiver around.
As entertaining as Ochocinco is, there’s little doubt he’s rubbed some the wrong way. But Zbikowski wants to fight him because, well, he’s a boxer and issued a challenge, sort of.
Speaking on the “Dan Patrick Show,” Zbikowski said, “Ochocinco talks like he can box. I’d let it go for about 45 seconds. I’d let him know what a real jab feels like.”
Zbikowski does more than talk; he is a boxer. In fact, he has a bout scheduled for Saturday in Las Vegas.
That didn’t stop Ochocino from issuing a retort to his nearly 1.8 million followers on Twitter: “@tommyzbikowski you wana go nite nite, you want to box me, for 1 your feet are to slow and you’ve no hand speed to even be competitive #smh.” Of course, you know smh stands for shaking my head, right?
Anyway, Zbikowski came right back, as any good fighter would. Yes, on Twitter. (See what you’re missing?)
“Dear Ocho Cinco (I won’t call you Johnson cause you only get one name change in my book), thanks for following my career … You and me at M&T Bank Stadium, charity four-round boxing match. You wear Orange and Black and I will wear Purple and black. If we do it in May, that should give you enough time to get ready … You game?”
Well, Chad, are you?
