'''Zuri Lawrence'''
==Career==
Lawrence has never fought for a major heavyweight title
Notable wins include upsetting the comeback trail of [[Jameel McCline]] after McCline's second heavyweight title loss and being the first to defeat highly touted Italian Olympic medallist
▲Lawrence has never fought for a major heavyweight title (WBC, WBA, IBF or WBO) but he is an important test for many up-and-coming prospects. Notable losses include a technical knockout loss in 11 (after being down 4 times)<ref>[http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:933608 Sultan Ibragimov vs. Zuri Lawrence - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> to Russian prospect [[Sultan Ibragimov]] and being brutally rendered unconscious by [[Calvin "the Boxing Banker" Brock]].<ref>[http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fighters/brock_calvin/bio.html HBO: Boxing: Fighters: Bio: CALVIN BROCK<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
Lawrence
▲Notable wins include upsetting the comeback trail of [[Jameel McCline]] after McCline's second heavyweight title loss and being the first to defeat highly touted Italian Olympic medallist<ref>[http://www.databaseolympics.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=VIDOZPAO01 Paolo Vidoz Olympic medals and stats<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and prospect [[Paolo Vidoz]].
In November 2007 Lawrence took on [[Hasim Rahman]] on short notice on
▲Lawrence is a quick and skilled boxer who is rarely stopped and can give 12 rounds of technical boxing; this combined with his seeming lack of the ability to knock an opponent out (0 knockouts in 40 fights) makes Lawrence a popular opponent amongst matchmakers looking to get some notice for their prospects. Prior to their fight Calvin Brock gave an example of this thinking in an interview with Tiger Boxing: “Zuri Lawrence? Sure. He’s good, but he doesn’t have any power, so I wouldn’t call it a high-risk fight."<ref>http://tigerboxing.com/articles/index.php?aid=1001245460</ref>
▲In November 2007 Lawrence took on [[Hasim Rahman]] on short notice on the [[Versus Channel]]. In a close battle in which Versus' viewers had Lawrence leading, he was knocked out by Rahman in the 10th and final round. The scores at the time of stoppage were 86-84 Lawrence, 86-84 and 88-82 Rahman. In a rare feat, Lawrence was knocked out of the ring and onto the arena floor, only to return to the ring prior to the 20 count and continue fighting.
In July 2008 Lawrence won in a huge upset over heavyweight prospect [[Albert Sosnowski]] after taking the fight on late notice.
He fought [[Jason Estrada]] on September 2, 2009, and which Lawrence was knocked down once in the second and once in the seventh before the referee stopped the fight at 2:33.
