Nobles has had one bout in 1998, one bout in 1999 and only two bouts in 2000. Nobles attributes his lack of ring activity to management problems and other turmoil. I m now on my way to the top. His current obstacle to the top, Fields, should present a much tougher challenge than his last two opponents. Many boxing experts say Fields will present a real test.
Nobles hopes so.
I hope the fight is a test, Nobles says. I love tests. I never underestimate any fighter and I always have the best training and preparation. Nobles credits Fields with fighting hard and being able to take a good punch. Fields and his manager insist that early last year, the two sparred with each other for several days.
