Comments Thread For: Tye Fields Retires From Boxing, Big Sky Says Bye

[nycsmooth]

he reminded me of Primo Carnera, big, slow, no defense, hittable, awkward, w/a decent punch (he was no Shavers) who fought setups & mediocre opposition & never beat a contender, though Primo did.

Nnnnnnoooooooooo!!!!!! I feel like someone just shot me in the heart. At the end of the day though I don't think we deserved the honor to witness anything as great as Tye Fields, but I thought he would show us mercy by fighting on. Best of luck Tye! You will be missed.

primo carnera has gotten a bad wrap if he's being compared to tye fields. he was a better fighter than that.

it takes guts to get in the ring and for that he should be given credit.

The same.
Easy to be negative and joking.
Byby & good luck.
