Vince, what is it with you and these shitty HWs??? :huh You must be - like me, btw - a BIG fan of the ol' "Heavyweight Explosion" shows!!
The fight is bollocks. It means nothing. The sooner people stop caring about this sort of garbage the better. This sort of bout doesn't help boxing at all.
It's a huge step up. Remember, Fields is the guy who beat the great Shannon "I have asthma" Briggs, in a classic 8 round war! The winner of this fight is sure to be next in line for a title shot!
Me too! That's one reason I love your threads - it brings back memories of all the shitty HW fights I watched in the 90s.:yep Fer cryin' out loud - I even watched a couple of Gastineau's fights on USA. Now you GOTTA love HWs to watch that crap!
Haha! Who knows! Fields has been able to upset quite a handful of better ranked fighters in his long pro career. Fields' stamina is pathetic,but he can bang and box a bit. He defeated Shannon Briggs,had a close fight with Chagaev in his first encounter with him,and should have won his fights against Ray Austin and Konstantin Onofrei.He lost a split decision to McCall,and Derrick Jefferson. Luan Krasniqui looked horrible against Fields. Fields is a tough nut to crack.And to be honest Fields' fight record is far more impressive than Saleem's one!
Yet another fight against an unproven nobody with little talent. How does Fields ever expect to build a career like this?
