Fields inks with catBOX…

In a major move for the up-and-coming local boxing promotion, catBOX Entertainment has signed cruiserweight Eric Fields.
Fields (12-1, 10 KOs) was knocked out in his bid for the vacant NABO, WBO championship 20 months ago by Ola Afolabi. But at 27, Fields definitely has what it takes to climb back up that ladder.
Fields is an Ardmore native, and he’s only fought once since his first loss, a TKO victory in the second round in January.
Fields and fellow catBOX fighter Oklahoma lightweight champion Noah Zuhdi will be at Remington Park in a couple of weeks for autographs on Oklahoma Derby weekend.
No word on when Fields’ first bout with his new promotional team will happen.

That was dominance by Vitali Klitschko against Chris Arreola. Arreola fought as hard as he could and for eight rounds, he wasn’t discouraged.
But in the ninth, you felt the will sapped away from him before it was called after the 10th.
I had Vitali up 9-1, giving Arreola the eighth round for his volume and pressure.
Klitschko fought the entire fight going backwards and did so successfully – that says something.
Great effort by Arreola, an even better performance by Vitali.

Reminder that Kimbo Slice takes on Roy Nelson on Wednesday night’s Ultimate Fighter episode on Spike. I should be home to see it, and I’ll post what I thought later that night.
