Tye " Big Sky " Fields

[mr. magoo]

I don't think I've ever seen this fella fight. He's roughly 6'9" 257 Lbs. He's 32 years old, and has a record of like 39-1-35. Anyone ever check him out?

Jesus christ, are you in my head or something?

JUST looking at this guy on Boxrec for the second time.

Wonder if he's anything substantial. We know now Michael Grant wasn't... Size can't make a fighter.

Who knows if he'll ever be anything more than a novelty.

Well, I checked out his rating, and it seems that he's right around being a top 30 guy. I guess his only defeat came about 6 years ago to a guy named Jeff Ford. Since that time, he's won 22 straight fights. Most of his opponents look like nobodies, although I thought I saw Bruce Seldon's name on there. Looks like he just fought a few days ago, and beat a journeyman named Jenkins.

He's nothing special. He's somewhat athletic and well conditioned, but lacks skill, speed and power. Top 30 sounds about right.

[nezy37]

He has an amazing workrate for a heavyweight but that is about it. He is slow and open to counters all day long. When he fights someone good I think it will be over within three rounds

[Russell]

He avenged that loss too.

[Duodenum]

He avenged that loss too.If the record's accurate, it seems strange that he would exchange a first round knockout loss with a first round knockout win that quickly. Wonder what the story is behind that.

[Russell]

Maybe he just got his shit together.

Sounds like it was a lucky break for the guy that knocked him out the first time around.

[brooklyn1550]

He throws a lot of punches, but isn't all that talented

[bumdujour]

kinda funny that this guy is in the classical section..........cause he seems like a great white hope from the willard, mccarty, morris and so on era.

He makes Willard look like Tommy Loughran, in the boxing skills department.

[Bad_Intentions]

dude is madd slow.

[Executioner]

yeah he throws a ton of shots but in all honesy; he's so slow he looks as though he's shadow boxing under water.

[Zakman]

This guy is one of the worst fighters I think I've ever seen on a TV main event. He throws nothing but arm punches, he leaves himself wide open for counters, and he is slow, slow, slow. As soon as he fights a live body, he will be laid out cold. Valuev looks like Willie Pep by comparison, and would knock Fields out, probably early, too.

[C. M. Clay II]

He is one of the worst fighters I've ever seen in my life. I was watching him fight Kendrick Releford, and if Releford had a little more stamina, he would have won easy. He was winning the early rounds by tricky "Jimmy Young-like" defense, but Fields just kept leaning on him and wore him down and Releford ran out of gas and lost the decision. All the notorious Lummox's of boxing history would take him to school. Valeuv would, Carnera would, Willard would, Vitali would, Buddy Baer would, Abe Simon would, even Firpo would as well. And forget about the skilled big men like Lewis, Wlad, Bowe, and even Tyrell Biggs. They would destroy him utterly.:good

Exactly. When I've watched Fields' fights - and I've had the misfortune of seeing two of them on Versus - the word that inevitably pops into my mind is "pathetic."

I am really shocked that Arum is hyping this guy. Valuev - who's no great shakes - would destroy this guy. Outside of toughman contests, I don't think I've ever seen a guy leave himself more wide open.

They're talking about matching him with Rahman next!!! I don' t think too much of Rahman, but even if he's in the same shape he was when he fought Sykes, he'll annihilate Fields. The guy can't box at all.

[Seamus]

This guy really is bad. I feel sorry for him, almost. No real skills, no power for his tremendous size and physique. Just waiting to be countered on about every move.

[fists of fury]

Reading these glowing reports, you have to wonder how bad his opponents were.

[mr. magoo]

Boy, I feel sorry for this guy, given all the wonderful support he's getting from the fan club on this thread.

The money he earns will surely help him trough this psychical disaster...
