Fields: "Hernandez Is In
Danger"
Ardmore, Oklahoma, power puncher Eric "Danger" Fields (21-1,
15 KOs) is hoping he'll be underestimated when he brings his
heavy fists to Germany on February 2, 2013, to face IBF
Cruiserweight Champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez (27-1, 13 KOs)
at Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin.
Fields and Hernandez will meet in the main supporting bout
of the European Light Heavyweight Championship main event
between Eduard Gutknecht and Juergen Braehmer.
"This is his third defense and he's had some big wins and
he's a southpaw, so I bet he's feeling real confident
fighting a guy in the top 15. Well, guess what? He's in
danger and he won't know it till it's too late. I'm taking
the title from him and bringing it back to America."
Fields' promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, has
been looking like a boxing genius of late, after maneuvering
WBA world junior middleweight champion Austin Trout from
relative obscurity to boxing's newest star.
Cohen says Fields has exactly the kind of power that has
bothered the German-based Cuban Hernandez throughout his
career.
"His (Hernandez's) only official loss came by KO to big
punching Wayne Braithwaite. In his last fight he was
fortunate to get a decision over Troy Ross, another fighter
with heavy, fast hands. Eric has the athleticism, the speed
and the strength to go in and get this guy out of there,"
said Cohen. "I'm looking forward to adding another world
champion to the GCP stable February 2nd."
"Eric is 100% focused and committed to this fight and an
Eric Fields in top shape is a big problem for anyone in the
world. Some fighters try to weather the storm and wait for
him to tire. He's not going to tire in this fight. He's too
focused and driven. Now is Eric's time. "
