The 28-year-old WBC and WBA champion added the WBA « regular » super middleweight title to his resume. Alvarez walked through Rocky Fielding in three rounds like an overmatched sparring partner on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. Quite honestly, this wasn’t a good fight.
Alvarez ripped left hooks to the body and folded Fielding like a lawn chair. In the very first round, Alvarez dropped Fielding with a body shot. Fielding had a delayed reaction but went to one knee to recuperate. He’d do this two more times before the referee stepped in to call a halt to the bout.

Rocky Fielding essentially donated his world title to Canelo today. You’ll never see a happier person to have just lost a world title. He’d accepted his fate a long time ago. Oh well, collect that check and be on your way. #CaneloRocky

I probably gave Fielding too much credit.
