Fields was a 2006 national amateur champion at 201 Lbs. and he is guided by a smart team that has brought him along properly. Eric has never been past 6 rounds but he has stayed busy with 6 fights in the past year and his best win is over a C+ level fighter in Ramiro Reducindo whom he flattened in one round. Eric likes to come forward applying pressure with a volume punching attack to the head and body. Fields has a reputation as dynamite right-hand puncher that has mediocre defense and a good chin.
His opponent Kelvin Davis 24-7, 17 KO's, is a 5’8” former cruiserweight champion that is currently on a 3 fight losing streak against solid opposition. Davis is a brawler that has plenty of heart and good power in both hands but he seems to do just enough to lose fights if he cannot score an early KO. Kelvin, 29, likes to bob and weave his way inside to unload his heavy looping shots at close range with 100% effort. Davis is available to be hit and he has an average set of whiskers, but he is battle tested unlike the green Fields.
There are plenty of question marks entering this fight but with the two fighters have made for TV styles so it should see some fireworks. Fields will have options in this fight being the faster, taller fighter, but will he elect brawl in his first nationally televise fight to please the crowd? Is Davis’s confidence shot after 3 straight defeats? If the fight goes into deep waters will Fields have the stamina to keep a tough puncher like Davis off him?
