Bob Arum has been promoting Tye Fields for awhile now but would never let him fight a real fighter. Arum would put Fields on as the main events on some of the cards they had on the Versus network. When you watched him you knew immediately he was never going to be a good fighter. He fought guys who were losers and/or way out of shape. Fields had been KOd before so you knew it could happen again. Standing at 6'8, Fields used to use his height for basketball. However he started boxing at 24. He always looked akward and no good everytime I saw him. So last night Monte Barrett, who was supposed to be Fields coming out party for a real fight, KOd him in 57 seconds. Yes 57 seconds. Barrett is not the best heavyweight but definitely a step up for Fields. Barrett caught Fields with a counter right that stunned him then he hit him with another fight, clocked him with a left and crushed him down with a right. Fields had a hard time getting up and Kenny Bayless stopped the fight. Oh how I am glad Bob Arum has so many great fighters because if he was depending on Tye Fields he would be standing at the Grand Canyon about to jump. Tye Fields is a bum when it comes to boxing and I was so glad he got exposed last night. Arum had been saying dumb shit like Fields could be a real star. Arum is a good promoter because a few people bought into that. I guess when you lie, if you can do it with a straight face people may believe you.

LMAO!
So true, what Iliked is how the ring side announcers were acting shocked like Monte was out of his league against this stiff.
The thing about boxing is that it has Hustler running through the blood veins.
It is never a good thing to listen to promoters it's their job to take the money out of your pocket.
Yeah the announcers on the video I had posted were Top Rank announcers. So since Tye Fields is with Top Rank they had to make it seem like he was so great. HBO did not treat Fields like royalty. Fields is a bum in boxing. He may be decent at the other things he has been involved with but not boxing. Sure he could beat bums but he is nothing but an average fighter with a fake record. Monte Barrett is slightly better than average but not where he could have been if he had focused better earlier in his career. However he blasted this punk away.
