Monte Barrett Crushes Tye Fields in 1st round KO

fields23635.jpgBy Tony Krebs: 37 year-old heavyweight Monte Barrett (34-6, 20 KOs) pulled off a stunning 1st round KO of the giant 6’8″ Tye Fields (41-2, 37 KOs) tonight in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fields, 33, who has built up an impressive knockout string with very careful matchmaking in his nine-year career, went right after Barrett in the 1st round, bum rushing him like he has many of his other 42 opponents in his career. In this case, however, Fields was way over his head in terms of quality, having fought mostly low C-level fighters at best during his entire career, and in no way ready for a quality professional like Barrett.

Wasting no time, Fields went right after Barrett from the get go, landing huge left hooks to the midsection, one after another, telegraphing them badly on each occasion. Instead of wilting under the pressure, Barrett instead backed up to the ropes and waited for Fields to come forward.

Fields Stops Jenkins; Makes Challenge to Rahman

fields43345335.jpgBy Dave Lahr: Heavyweight challenger Tye Fields (39-1, 35 KOs) completely dominated an intimidated looking Domonic Jenkins (12-7-1, 6 KOs), stopping him in 7th round after Jenkins failed to come out for the 8th round on Thursday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jenkins, 34, looked like he didn’t want to be there from the opening bell, as he rarely threw punches, and instead mostly stood in front of Fields and absorbed continuous punishment for seven rounds. The fight perhaps should have been stopped as early as the fourth round when it became apparent that Jenkins was not interested in exchanging punches with the 6’9″ Fields. Although it’s hard to understand why not, since Fields didn’t present any semblance of defensive ability all fight long, with his main focus being his offensive output.

Fields, 32, threw a lot of punches during the fight, averaging an incredible 94 per round. However, it was slightly less than his usual enormous punch volume, perhaps in part because Jenkins was doing so little against him, that there was no real need to throw as many punches. Fields mixed in quite a few jabs during the bout, something unheard of for him, as he mostly throws wide hooks with both hands. The jabs, however, were thrown incredibly slow, as was Field’s other punches. It didn’t matter, though, because with the sheer volume of punches that Field’s was throwing and landing, he was punishing Jenkins badly.
