New York - In front over 20,000 fans in New York’s Madison Square Garden, Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) made quick work of Rocky Fielding (27-2, 15 KOs) to win the WBA "regular" super middleweight title. After missing close to a year due to a suspension stemming from a positive clenbuterol test that postponed his rematch with Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KO’S) in May, Canelo has fought twice and looked impressive in a close majority decision victory over Golovkin and a destruction of Fielding.
