Bell Enters the Ring

Boston.com is reporting that former BC guard Troy Bell, who graduated in 2003 as the Eagles' all-time leading scorer, has taken up boxing and is to make his amateur debut tonight at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN (now THAT sounds like a hellofa place).

If Bell, a 185-pound cruiserweight, wins tonight and starts to get the hang of the sweet science, could a grudge match against ND safety Tommy Zbikowski be far behind?? Bell would have to move up a weight class and overcome a severe advantage in experience held by Zbikowski, who fought around 100 amateur bouts before making his pro debut last month. But on the other hand, when's the last time a ND football player beat BC at anything??
