Heavyweight contender Tye Fields (40-1, 36 KO’s) will look to pick up his 20′th consecutive win on Thursday when he takes on Roderick Willis (14-2-1, 8 KO’s) at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fields uses a combination of punching power and high output. The man known “Big Sky” has a massive frame as he stands 6′8 and weighs 275 lbs. In his last fight Fields knocked journeyman Chris Koval down and out with a powerful body shot. After the fight the he called out big names like Hasim Rahman and Nicolai Vaulev. His promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank has yet to put Fields in with a world beater. This has been frustrating to fight fans who want to see what Fields can do against better competition. For now Tye will have to settle with fringe contenders and former champions. Thursday night will be no different as Willis figures to pose little threat. In his last fight Willis nearly ended former world champion Michael Moorer’s comeback bid in losing a split decision in Puerto Rico. Willis takes the Fields fight with just 3 days notice. I expect this fight to go less than 4 rounds , with Fields all out assault being to much for the 35 year old Texan.
